Drop a ship not from Star Wars or Star Trek.

@tlawson.bsky.social Have you watched Only Murders In The Building?

Turn the corner on Chapter 90 of Akane-banashi and you are entering Dragon Ball's Budokai Tenkaichi all over again. An event where the storytelling (about storytelling!) will reach a fever pitch and time melts away.

Epic battle, passionate first kiss, cracking a brain busting case, all of these are satisfying but they do not move me like two old friends rectifying the past next to a duck pond in "Akane-banashi."

Robinson and Harris teamed back up for more Starman? Getting my hopes up...

The Inside Out characters in my head

The ultimate classroom-ready AI partner is already here and a super fighting robot

“ai” edtech company collapses after taking six million dollars from the Los Angeles school district to develop an “educational friend” platform.

A.I. ‘Friend’ for Public School Students Falls Flatwww.nytimes.com Los Angeles schools hired a start-up to build an A.I. chatbot for parents and students. A few months later, the company collapsed.

Bunch of fresh graphic novels arrived for the teen center

Financial literacy Q&A when Bitcoin is rising: "Did you leave out crypto because you hate being rich or love being poor?" When Bitcoin is falling: "What are these 'indexes' you spoke of, again?" Chart for past month's performance in picture. #FinLit

Did the SEO style guides get a snarky revision overnight or...?

Without providing any identifying details, I just want to appreciate when a book review assignment is 100% aligned with the reviewer.

Your portfolio should be simple! *slap* Your portfolio should be complex! *slap" Simple! *slap* Complex! *sobs* Just because it's simple doesn't make it easy 😭

I love the promotion of alt text on here, but I felt compelled to make this

If you see this, post a vampire 💀

Kinokuniya, Itoya, and Kumazawa all have their strengths, and Jimbocho's used bookstores are endlessly charming, but special shout-out to Hobonichi (@hobonichi.bsky.social). Great environment, selection, and staff!

"Smoking Behind The Supermarket With You" by Jinushi is the perfect chapter-a-day manga for a chill, low-stakes liminal space.

Mt. Fuji and the tree cut bare to clear its view.

Encountered Henri Matisse's "Renée, Green Harmony" at the right place at the right time.

What's your sign?

You can't convince me Kayama Matazō's "A Thousand Cranes" isn't a MAD fold-in. The waves line up too well! Attached photos of the full piece and angles of same-facing panels lined up to demonstrate the fold-in effect.

The world you grew up in is dead

"Did you see any famous people in Japan?" Did I ever!

Kinokuniya calling me ALL the way out with displays of a new children's book based on the "Phoenix" manga and a "Missing Pieces" book of retracted "Black Jack" stories. #OsamuTezuka

Negotiated with Delta reps on the phone, in person, and over text at the SAME TIME

Gaiman Sandman as the last DC universe series with a satisfying conclusion, when Robinson Starman ended years later? Okay buddy: www.nytimes.com/2024/05/07/b...

what actor's expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life

From the twisted mind of Shuzo Oshimi comes his boldest story yet - getting lost in a book! (Page from manga "Blood On The Tracks")

Found a golden oldie by animator and comics artist Severin Piehl, how dare I have left it in storage? (Made as a teenager, to boot)

Said goodbye to a beloved family member tonight, same day I learned a library colleague suddenly passed away. Better not see any of you make this a "bad things come in threes" deal!
