Holy crap, you guys SHATTERED our sales records yesterday. So, so grateful.

You should know that the revenue from this sale is literally making it possible to license and restore several additional projects we have in the works. Makes a huge difference. So thank you! 🙏🙏

If you regret not getting a copy of Goshogun: The Time Etranger while it was still in print--good news! You can snag a copy of the DVD here for the princely sum of only $5!! That is a STEAL of a deal for one of my all-time favorite movies: www.mediaocd.com/product-page...

It’s weird to think that the entire generation of grandmas who would get those curly, helmet–like perms like a Estelle from Golden Girls have almost entirely departed this mortal plane by now. Much like a floppy disk icon, the iconography has outlived what it represented.

If adults were able to adequately explain to children how hard life actually is, every single one of them would feed themselves into a wood chipper.
Luckily, adults are also terrible at explaining how great life can be too.

I literally just bought the long lost full OP, The Dream I Had in the Cosmos, from Orguss 02, on iTunes. Unobtanium for 30 years!
So much stuff is now legally available physically and digitally, especially music. It's wonderful to be able to buy stuff now.

We all go through that phase. I certainly did. As long as it leads you back to supporting what you love, it’s worth it IMHO
I also pirated a lot of shit when I was broke that now sits on my shelf now that I'm no longer broke. If Limewire never existed I would have never been hooting and hollering at the discotek panel when y'all announced Kite lol.

Y’know, we can carry a lot of negative stuff with us and it can drag us down, but all of out experiences make us the people we are. We shouldn’t hide from them. We should allow ourselves to allow those memories to pass through us. They will resurface, but they are in the past. (1)

By the time this actually comes out, this will be so embarrassing and everyone involved will deserve it
I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

Spent the morning rejiggering the MediaOCD website. Much more product available on the home page, also added product search. When I originally designed it, I didn't realize the web store would be such a big part of the business.

Why is everyone so paranoid about bootleg anime DVDs again, out of the blue? More importantly, why are people still buying DVDs!?
Blu-rays are almost impossible to pirate at scale – you have to burn every single one.

The third best thing you can do is tell others how much you enjoy that author's work, by writing a review.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.
