immediately reminded of this interview between Naoki Urasawa and Hisashi Eguchi about Katsuhiro Otomo and the way he drew gunfire changing manga forever. (from mangabrog.wordpress.com/2015/05/17/n...)
![A reproduction of a panel from Otomo’s manga “Fireball” shows a man being shot in surprise by a character with their back to the reader. The interview continues underneath…
EGUCHI: The way the guns fire is really cool too. Like right here, the way he draws this part. The bullet hits the guy’s head, the gun goes up in recoil, the shell comes out. He does it all in one panel.
URASAWA: And because of “Fireball”, now everyone draws this way — and I mean absolutely everyone, including myself. Part of manga is about pulling things off with the bare minimum of lines needed — how a well-placed line changes the way things look. Draw a wavy little line on the back of a hand and all of a sudden you can see the angle and depth of the hand. It’s that simple, but all those lines look cool. When I met Otomo, I told him that for us, “Fireball” was our New Treasure Island [Tezuka’s first major work]. Just as Fujiko Fujio and Shotaro Ishinomori were blown away by that opening scene with the car in Osamu Tezuka’s New Treasure Island, we were blown away by “Fireball”. It opened the door. It was the beginning of the manga of our age.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vka5rlp2lomfrbsjoxug64jj/bafkreib2cyvyzu4275vpybk2wwymtptxht6aatjv3xgnrocdzye764zgqq@jpeg)

only ten and a half years were between aerosmith's original "walk this way" and their run dmc collaborative version. if someone wanted to do a crossover hit on a similar timeframe nowadays, we'd have a k-pop cover of hozier's "take me to church"

today i learned that Pretty Woman was playing at a Hokkaido theater in 1990 along with BEST GUY, a japanese Top Gun knockoff about a pilot named Goku
The only info we could find about the existence of this film, let alone its exhibition, is that a theater in Hokkaido had a listing for it in 1990, along with Rocky V proper and other films surrounding it (some of which were, uh, let's just say "classy" titles).

I've been leaning towards Tubi being the streaming service, and now I think it's official: they have Season 1 and Season 2 of one of the best science and technology comedy shows ever made… "Look Around You".
Thanks, Tubi. Thubi.

Look Around You
This unique combination of parody and homage to early 70s/80s British educational programs examines different scientific topics in each episode.

why do i always forget that when my wireless mouse or trackball is acting up and being shitty, the answer is never that its junk that needs to be tossed out and its always that it needs a new battery/to be recharged?

"greenland polling worse than epstein files" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person unanimously negative on epstein. Rich Pedophiles, who visit islands & party with epstein each day, are an outlier adn should not have been counted
Harry Enten: “Wanna know how poorly Trump buying Greenland polls? Worse than the Epstein files. Seriously, Trump's net approval rating on any attempt to buy Greenland (-40 pts) is lower than his net approval on the Epstein files (-38 pts). Greenland is arguably Trump's worst polling issue.”
