And i’m only 13 episodes away from them adapting my favourite book from the series

The 90’s Moomin dub just randomly recasted my favourite character over halfway through the run. I really wanna watch the remaining 30 episodes but I don’t know if I can get over this.

Honestly, I’m really excited for The Girl in the Bubble. With Thank Goodness opening act 2, Glinda needed another solo towards the end.

But when I hear Jonathan Bailey sing “It’s up that I fell” during As Long as Your Mine, I will leave this physical plane!

At a family wedding where I don't know anyone. There's some really cool queer people here (no idea if i'm related to them or not), and I don't know how to approach them.

I've already belted along to Whitney Houston and Cher but got no result. And that's pretty much the only trick in my wheelhouse!

They’d make shit up and still need to add in filler. I remember how these videos would always start with something like.

Fact 1: SpongeBob SquarePants is a cartoon

Fact 2: It airs on Nickelodeon

Fact 3: It was created by Stephen Hillenburg

Fact 4: It premiered in 1999 and still airs to this day

None of that matters when the success of those books created one of the most powerful bigots in the world who is using them to hurt real people. That’s the bottom line.

A Simpsons promotional image for the episode "Clown in the Dumps" edited to change the episode's premiere of September 28th to be December 12th. In addition, the character Jax from the 2023 series "The Amazing Digital Circus" is in the place of Rabbit Krustofsky from the original image

Honestly, seeing a new piece of pre sequel SpongeBob after all these years (in all its slow, dull glory) just gives me even more appreciation for the current animation.

Like, this is what people are clamouring for a return to?

I’m still excited for Search for SquarePants but man, was this short worlds more visually interesting and stylised than anything we’ve seen of that movie so far.

The facial expressions and cinematography are on a whole other level

Still from the new SpongeBob episode “Go Fetch!”

It’s the 10th anniversary of Curse of the Were Rabbit! Better time than any to check out my full retrospective detailing the entire history of Wallace and Gromit thus far and discussing my special connection to the franchise.

You can also check out the recording of my first ever convention panel at this year’s Momocon, where I went into great detail about how the relationship between the inventor and his dog has been portrayed over the years to determine if it’s truly as toxic as people say!

These people are geniuses

They’ve solved the issue of movie theatres being too expensive by making people not wanna go see their movies…oof sorry, their content.

Looks as though the elders have already begun the youth draining process. Shame to think that just a few days ago they were attending their first student council meeting.

I wanna go to a dead stock store so badly but they aren’t really much of a thing in the UK. You’ll find the occasional oddity here and there but nothing to the extent of what I see people posting about.

That movie announcement got me back into Moomin again as i’m rewatching the 90’s anime adaptation. So, here are the characters I would not hesitate to drop kick into the sun were I given the chance!

I mean…I like that Fred is in his “What’s New Scooby Doo” outfit, or at least something inspired by it.

With this Rebecca Sugar news, a lot of people who either hadn’t heard of Moomin or are only vaguely aware of it will wanna check it out.

And I am begging you to watch the English dub of the 90’s anime. It’s so serene and beautiful but the characters constantly say the most out of pocket stuff!

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.
