QUESTION FOR ANIME FANS:

How mainstream is Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End?

I’m really enjoying it — but I can’t help wondering if when I recommend it, it’s like telling someone “Hey, there’s this band called The Beatles…”

Do I have good taste?

Voice actors for animated film and television are some of the most talented performers I’ve ever worked with.

Always worth remembering!

“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

- Marcus Aurelius, “Meditations”

Found this in my notes app.

I have no memory of writing it… likely half-asleep.

Was I onto something?

Stories are like gardens that are nurtured — twisting along unanticipated paths, as they reveal themselves to even the authors.

If you relinquish all choices too early, give them up in the name of efficiency, fully formed from the outset, you lose something.

Wander curiously.

This was a fun conversation! 🖖

Always a pleasure to chat with the folks at @trekculture.bsky.social.

Do I know anyone who knows anyone who works in the upper eschelons of Google or YouTube?

I’m trying to recover some old videos I made decades ago with a friend who passed away. They are trapped on a legacy YouTube account, whose password I’ve forgotten and cannot recover.

“How are you?”

“Struggling to escape the cash nexus doom spiral — but paralyzed by existential dread of the ‘double movement’ polycrisis hyperobject that threatens us all, magnified by the day.”

“Can’t wait till Friday, huh”
