Superman: Secret Identity is one of my favourite stories of all time. It's a comfort read, and one that gives me this feeling that no other single story has instilled in me. A real dream one day would be to interview @kurtbusiek.bsky.social for the Superhero Project.

As expected, the video is demonetized. I haven’t made many videos this year for personal reasons, and I could really use your support if you can give it. Patreon.com/NerdSync

New video on YouTube and Nebula. “Superman is a Nazi” Wherein I discuss how critics have called Superman antisemitic since his creation, mostly as a way to push their own agendas. Free Palestine. nebula.tv/videos/nerds...

Free Palestine. Also, James Gunn's Superman movie is good.

What do you do if something you want to use as an example has never been released physically in English? You import it.

This is one of my all time favourite comic series. I have all 20 volumes, all first editions. I'm restarting my PhD on July 1st, and I've been thinking alot about why I study what I do. This series is what got me interested in the process of actually making comics.

Very odd delivery. My Japanese is horrible, but I know that is an image of Shoko Asahara, the leader of Aum Shinrikyo. From what I can tell, this is a manga about the Aum Shinrikyo investigations in the 90s. These are the people who carried out the Sarin gas attacks in Tokyo.

I discovered today that Fenna really likes to steal bread rolls. Trying to learn how to ink. Gave colouring a go too, but point to work on inking a bit more.

On the left is my childhood copy of Naruto Vol. 01. On the right is the 25th Anniversary reprint I found yesterday. I make no secret that Naruto means a lot to me. Almost as much as Superman and Batman. I read Naruto at the same age the character was at the beginning,

Extremely saddened to hear of Peter David's passing. His Young Justice was a major childhood read for me. His Hulk stuff is phenomenal and I really like his Aquaman and Supergirl. I'd hoped to meet him someday. I hope his family are doing okay.

I looked back at my screen, and there is a full odds, shiny Caterpie on my Japanese Leaf Green. This is on my childhood Gameboy! A first for this Gameboy and a first for any of my Gen 3 games!

I don't have a problem... Photo taken for an upcoming lecture slide, where the joke is "I did some 'casual' research into the evolution of Pixel Art in the Pokémon games". It wasn't as funny with my Final Fantasy collection.

In the next week, I'm hoping to hear from my doctors if I can have an operation to fix my legs. I've been walking with a crutch for a few years now. Given as a teenager, I was one off of my black belt, and I used to take a lot of long walks, it's been extremely depressing...

If you're new to Gunpla, 1) welcome! 2) you can immediately make your kits look ten times better without paint by using panel liner markers: black for dark/blue pieces, grey for white, brown for red and yellow. Excess can be rubbed off by fingers or q tips. Adds tons of depth and definition.

This is Oscar. He showed up on our doorstep 3 Christmases ago. He was covered in cuts and scabs that were clearly done by a person. He was malnourished and weak. Now he's a big softy who likes to stop you from doing work by asking for cuddles.
