...tough little ship.

--from Angel, season 3 episode 4, "Carpe Noctem". So, that's been a key basic bit of business for me, especially as I have had to deal with various bureaucracies a lot the past few years. So I've started things off by making sure that all my identity documents are filed, locked securely, and...

I was inspired by the premise -- if not the actual execution -- of the "How to survive?" thread that was one of the many legacies of a rather bizarre poster. Having restarted my own life from something like mark zero in April of 2021 (not the first time, either), and having gone through the same...

If it's October, this thread needs....

Of course we'd have some Hallowe'en content, wouldn't we? So, for the season, here's Monika reading some poetry selections. The video gets ... a little intense... near the end. But that's to be expected, given the season...

Sometimes, I think that my offline friend is right, The End already happened, and what we are experiencing is just epilogues while the paperwork gets filed. 🙃

Vannamelon has done a series of "(Character) does a Google search on themself" videos -- Power from Chainsaw Man, Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club! (originally, though she's now got her own Vanna-channel shtick), even Isabelle from Animal Crossing. I suspect she picked the "McMommy"...

And when he does, make it IDW?

And now for something almost but not quite completely different.... Lightening things up a little with a riff on a Japanese ad that went viral:

This is why I'm a bit more surprised that the US right has stayed consistent this time around, seeing as the "frogboy" wing, while keen on a clash of civilizations, are at best indifferent to Israel and at worst convinced the latter is engineering most of the things they don't like.

Well, considering that this thread has gone far beyond what tec envisioned for it -- indeed, he's only posted twice in the past three pages so far -- I'm not sure that's as much of a worry as it might once have been. 🙃 But, that said, everyone's got a right to only share what they want to, of...

Let's give them a moment, shall we? A long time back, I found myself on a web bulletin board devoted to issues of interest to Asian-American communities. There was a person on said board who said they were researching a hypothesis that Japanese women who emigrate to North America and marry...

For those of us who don't have Tumblr logins....

Now this club... is full of cute Nendoroids! I saw how they resolved Sayori. The blurb promised Mr. Cow but I've not seen the model yet.

Continuing the cosplay themes, here's a tour of Akihabara courtesy of Kiki Miley's Delivery Service!

Una McCormack wrote a story, as I recall, with a B-arc involving a post-Dominion War Cardassian police detective. There were some comparisons between how things were in the old system compared to under Allied Reconstruction. Interestingly enough, law enforcement wasn't all that resistant to...

I may as well link to Rebecca Schoenkopf's editorial on Yr Wonkette. There used to be a running gag about comments not being allowed on that site, but she's had to lock down some threads, and she gave her reasons why....

I have to share this.... For all those who watched or read Oh My Goddess!, I'm sure it crossed your mind at least once that Belldandy seemed just a little too practically perfect in every way. (and we won't even get into how a minor Norse goddess somehow fits the Yamato nadeshiko trope.) Did...

It's.... not quite what I was expecting for October themes, but with tec seemingly absent from his own thread, I can't see why it wouldn't count. Motorbike cosplay, we'll call it. Besides, it'll be hard to top my effort last year. And speaking of cosplay -- this video was in our DDLC thread a...
