Making the base for ice cream for my birthday tomorrow. Slight tweaks to the recipe, but staying mindful of Savage’s Law - “If you don’t write it down, you’re just screwing around.”

A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace
Who am I calling annoying? You, Futami Sensei, you're annoying as fuck. After ten minutes of virtually nothing but you whining, pissing, and moaning, I noped out.
Congratulations you're my first drop of the season.

Anyone recognize the anime?

SI-VIS
My first thought was "man, this is totally my stuff"... Especially because I grew up on Sat morning cartoons in the 70's, and this felt kinda familiar.
A bit busy, but nothing unmanageable or unusual.

#umamusume #cinderellagray Part II
Our titular heroine gets very little screen time. Disappointing but unsurprising in an episode that's not really a first or a premiere... Just an extended setup for whatever is coming next.

Touring After The Apocalypse
Seemed pretty harmless, some timeline inconsistencies, no biggie. Then, suddenly the Fire Nation attacked.
I mean, WTF was that twist?
Yeah, now I have questions. And a definite interest in tuning in next week too see if there are any hints or answers.

SPY X FAMILY
Lightweight, low key re-introduction to the scenario and the main characters. Fun, but mostly harmless.

My Hero Academia Final Season
Let's just say this was pretty much a recap without actually pronouncing itself a recap. Very little new footage, but what there was... was interesting.

That's not what I'm seeing. The upswing starts in the 1950's and any contribution by Star Trek is effectively an invisible part of a more general upswing.
Narrowing the time timescale to 1950-1980 and turning off smoothing makes this even more clear.

Been hitting it hard for the last week and a half, packing and moving stuff to the new place. Movers show up tomorrow for the heavy stuff, so this will our last night here.
I swear, once this is done and we are settled in, I shall lift nothing heavier than a beer for at least a month.
