Sadly had to say goodbye to our cat Miss Mess this morning. 19 is a great run, but her mobility issues took a really bad turn last week and it was clear it was time. She will be missed greatly by all of us, even me, her human of last resort.

Miss Mess, a large, extremely elderly, gray and white long haired cat, wearing a modified blue-green toddler onesie with dinosaurs on it, sitting on a bed, looking directly at the camera, lit from the front with a flash.

Her expression oozes but nobility and disdain for the photographer.

Happy new article day 🥰 We just went live an article by Red Bard that examines the AnimeMusicVideos.org panel at Anime Boston 2026. In the panel, Phade discussed the site's history, the importance of physical media, and more. It's a great read and we hope you enjoy it. #anime #history #amv

I've been meaning to get more exercise for a while. My doctor wants me to lose weight, and I know my energy level is trash lately (depression and stress suck). Walking is boring, and running hurts my knees. So I bought a bike and took it for a first ride this morning. strava.app.link/E8fYW5f7E4b

For the last several years, I've maintained a site that tracks the statistics for the referees of the NCAA D1 Hockey East men's ice hockey conference. My end-of-year posts are going up a little later than I wanted, but they're finally up. And now I can take a break until October.

I'm an adult rec league hockey goalie. It's been a rough season - the team only won one game all season (and I wasn't there for it). But tonight, after two absolutely improbable games (2-1 over the #1 seed last week, 7-5 over the #2 tonight), we actually won the championship. Absolutely gobsmacked.

Went to the UML-UNH opening round Hockey East playoff game tonight, and got this great shot of the overtime winning goal. Didn't want to have to drive to Maine for the quarterfinal, but Vermont couldn't upset UMass-Amherst, so what can you do?

UML's Scout Truman (#24 in white, foreground) watches his shot hit the hockey goal netting to score the overtime game-winning goal. UNH's goalie Rico Dimatteo is on his knees in a tight butterfly position and his head is turned to his left shoulder where the puck went by him. UNH #28 Alex Gagne is on one knee, side-on to Truman, about halfway between Truman and DiMatteo and to Truman's right, where he was attempting to block the shot; his head is turned to his right, watching the puck.

Marathoned all four of the Rebuild of Evangelion movies today. I had seen the first two more than ten years ago, and hasn't seen the last two at all going into this. My brain is full of "Anno, what the actual hell was that?" Entertaining, but man, that was weird.

Very excited by this news, and would love to know more details. Will it be just a short, a movie, OVA, or full series? Remake, sequel, or original reinterpretation (e.g. the '97 RAYEARTH OVA)? Original voice cast or new? So many questions and I can't wait to find out more.
