Whoa. Naked breasts as doctors operate on Katsura. Not very sexy, way too much blood.

Shinzo Mafune's motivation explained: he'll show those academics who didn't give him tenure! I sysmpathize. He unleashes Titanosaurus on Japan.

Titanosaurus has a weakness: ultrasonic sound waves. I can't wait for this fact to actually matter.

Rubber monster Titanosaurus makes an appearance. Why I don't know. Probably so we can have a 3-way monster fight.

Unclear what half the events in this movie have to do with anything.
Mastodon FeedMy second #newyearsresolution is to stop writing two thousand words before I figure out my point. 😅

Flashback: Mad Scientist Shinzo Mifune electrocuted his wife. She died very melodramatically. Then they resurrected her with a fancy headband.
Mastodon FeedMy #newyearsresolution is to send more complimentary emails and comments to bloggers.
I received a lovely email today in response to my blog. It's one of two this year that really brought me joy.
Sometimes it feels like you're writing to a wall. And while that never stops me, because I love writing, it's nice to know someone is reading.

Uh-oh. The aliens just shot a guy who'd been skulking around their base. He gave a death scene to rival Paul Reubens' in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I guess creepy Japanese corporations are run by aliens from Black Hole Planet 3 who plan to rebuild Tokyo so they can resume their normal forms.

They're throwing the works at us from the very start: cheesy model work, an exploding submarine, a weird long-necked kaiju (very fishy), and a UFO.

It will be a few days before we get official confirmation from the National Grid, but I’m calling it now: 2023 was the year renewables overtook fossil fuels as the largest contributor to British electricity generation. In the 12 years I’ve been running National Grid: Live at https://grid.iamkate.com electricity generation from fossil fuels has fallen from an average of 25.1GW to 10.2GW, while renewables have risen from 2.5GW to 10.8GW.

Mastodon FeedI was pretty surprised to see that Hacker News changed the title of my post with no visual indication or editor's note.
I like HN, it's one of the few places we can read non-corporate blogs. But that seems to me like an odd editorial practice in absence of any indicator. The app(dot)net section was maybe 500 words of a 2,200 word piece.
Left: HN editorial change. Right: HN aggregator with original title
