Personally, I need more cartoon logic in my life. Dumb problems deserve dumb solutions. #comics

Tall and Small Porcupines in unison, "THE LIBRARY!?" Panel #3: Galley and Leaf, "A good book can fix anything!" A book is now blowing cool air through the Porcupines' window. Medium Porcupine, "Don't question it."

I've heard things equal parts amazing and disturbing about Osamu Tezuka's The Book Of Human Insects. Time to find out how true they are...

I haven't played VGC in a particularly serious way in maybe seven years, but #PokemonChampions has me back in the saddle. Just hit 1900 elo - one hundred points up from last season. I don't think I ever got that high before.

Pokemon Champions battle results screen. Showing the player at 15,571st place with an ELO rating of about 1900.

The U.K. recently got Imax screenings of Akira *and* threatrical early screenings of the first two episodes of the new Ghost in the Shell series. What's a bloke in the U.S. supposed to do? Starve?

I've been trying different games out on my MiSTER and GBA games look fantastic on a crt! I Can't get over how dynamic looking a pause menu Megaman Zero 2 has. #ScanlineSunday

All I'm gonna say today is that the Emoji Movie made me so mad that I must have written 1500 words. That and Twins is really good for some reason. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky

Happy #Summerween to those who celebrate!

Wikipedia: "The term was first used in the Gravity Falls episode "Summerween," broadcast on October 5, 2012, which depicted a fictional town celebrating Halloween during the summer. As shown by one of the characters holding up a calendar, they celebrate summerween on June 22nd. This has been the accepted celebration day for those who observe summerween. This was intended as surreal humor. For example, the inhabitants of the town carve "jack-o'-melons" instead of jack-o'-lanterns. The concept of celebrating Halloween in summer was later adopted by fans for informal celebrations."

I keep thinking about Space Ghost this morning. It's insane that we know this character mostly now for goofy Cartoon Network satire. I think the design of the character is S-tier. Like, it's so simple it's almost obvious, but nobody else did this before Alex Toth.

Opened up the old NES cabinet today and saw Talespin looking back at me. I should really try to beat this as an adult someday. I'm fairly certain I never saw past the second level as a child. #RandomGameSaturday

I watched Michael (but not that Michael) And I watched The Backroom (But not that Backrooms) The Peanuts Movie gave me an existential crisis. Somehow Trancers was the best thing I watched this week. It was fun! #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky
