"Her Days of Silence Are Be-Hynde Her"

News so big an artwork was needed to celebrate it. As of last night, the tomboy leporine #MargoHynde officially has a voice actress. You will hear her speak for the first time in my Arcade-ological Discoveries video on 'Roll Away'… #OTOG

Got a big announcement to make. But you'll have to wait until tomorrow for it... maybe Thursday at the latest. Stay tuned!

Pre-qualifiers ranking from best to worst: Germany, Russia, Hungary, Israel, North Macedonia, Romania, Denmark. The latter three would have placed below Bosnia & Herzegovina with me had they made it in, and Germany's and Russia's... would have placed in my top 10. 🧵
Best of Eurovision 1996: "The Voice" (Ireland). Beautiful folk song; such a refreshing listen after "Why Me?" and "Rock 'n' Roll Kids".

Worst of Eurovision 1996: "Za našu ljubav" (Bosnia & Herzegovina). Not terrible, but the least memorable of the bunch.

A ★★★★½ review of Misery (1990)
I can only imagine how much more horrifying Annie Wilkes would be if she was a Star Wars fan in the sequel trilogy era. Thankfully, she is just a movie character obsessed with a series of books that o...

Decided to flex my skills at making a digital painting (keyword *painting*, not just a cartoon), by depicting Gilda reacting with disgust at every raccoon’s least favorite food. #OTOG #GildaGrime

#JobPosting: "Margo Hynde - Casting Call"

Are you a voice actress who specializes in tomboys, or somebody who knows a voice actress who does? Then you might be just what I'm looking for in bringing Margo Hynde to life!

I feel lucky to have discovered the Kessler sisters during the last few months they were alive. Their 1959 Eurovision entry is one of the greatest entries from the early years of the contest.

Rest in peace, Alice and Ellen. 🕯️🕯️

#AdlerOnLetterboxd: Zootopia (2016)

It’s a strong contender for my favorite movie ever… and you know I was gonna watch it in preparation for its hopefully-also-amazing sequel.

A ★★★★★ review of Zootopia (2016)
I’ve considered this one of my favorite movies, if not my favorite-ever movie since I saw it in theaters back in 2016. Nearly a decade later, I still stand by that opinion. This movie came out just ab...

Eurovision's 40th year is one of the best so far. Not a single song I'd call outright bad, except the Russian entry that was performed in such an over-the-top manner that I burst out laughing. Now that's the kind of bad that I love to see. The funny kind.

1996 predictions?
Best of Eurovision 1995: "Fra Mols til Skagen" (Denmark). A sweet tune with a minimalistic composition that proves that sometimes, less is more.

Worst of Eurovision 1995: "Kolybelnaya dlya vulkana" (Russia). An unintentionally hilarious romp... the best kind of bad.

I bet money that many, if not most of the votes that went to Ireland, were actually for that Riverdance interval. Because that is a timeless and legendary performance, whereas "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" comes off as something like a dollar-store "American Pie".

1995 predictions?
Best of Eurovision 1994: "Wir geben 'ne Party" (Germany). A blend of post-disco and symphonic pop makes for a catchy banger of a tune.

Worst of Eurovision 1994: "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" (Ireland). Too much boomers being boomers for me to take; I'm baffled by how this won.

...you know what? This is a good thing. Every game deserves to be made playable to the public by any means necessary. Yes, even the bad ones. As... as long as they're not called Custer's Revenge or The Guy Game.

I feel even more vindicated about watching Disney shows and movies the morally correct way instead of via Disney+. And hey, if Terrace says it's morally correct to pirate Owl House, it's morally 🚒ing correct.

Immer. Moralisch. Richtig.

one degree down, one degree to go. every little bit helps. doomerism is collaboration. only big social majorities can get it done.
Lot of people are already passing this around with the usual "WHY ISN'T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING" shrieks, while ignoring the fact that the article literally says that this is a *significant* decrease from the warming that we were on track for even a few years ago.

One of the many reasons we have to fight the rise of the far right is the risk they pose to undoing the progress we *have* made.

Boseman's career was and is legendary, even if cut short by his illness. It pains me to think of how many more roles he could have had, that he never got to play, and we will never get to see him in.

If any 21st-century actor deserves a star of the Walk of Fame, it is Boseman.
Chadwick Boseman will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 20.
