Konosuba 2 ends


First season was fun fluff. Special episode was crap. Second season was mostly the latter with brief moments of the former. Zero rewatch value; I’ve already forgotten almost everything that happened. From what I know of the light novels, the problem was definitely not running out of content.

In unrelated news, I saw Logan over the weekend. Good use of the material, and some excellent performances, but I wonder how many people would want to see it more than once. Hugh Jackman and Dafne Keen must have had on-set therapists to keep their vocal cords from scarring; half their lines in the script must be [snarl], [growl], [howl], [grunt], [scream], [inarticulate rage].

R.I.P Bill Arvola


Well, shit, lost another one. Haven’t seen Bill in probably fifteen years, but he was a good guy.

Nate Silver on global warming consensus...


"That's because a position that seems to have deep backing from the evidence may really just be a reflection from the echo chamber. You should be looking toward how much evidence there is for a particular position as opposed to how many people hold that position: Having 20 independent pieces of evidence that mostly point in the same direction might indeed reflect a powerful consensus, while having 20 like-minded people citing the same warmed-over evidence is much less powerful."

Oh, wait, my mistake, he was talking about liberal media bias. :-)

Demi-chans want less filler


Also, while the service was pleasing to the eye, I’d have preferred that it involve the adult female.

Cheesecake: book


You know what goes well with books? Damn near anything! I could have narrowed down this category with any of a dozen tags, and still had plenty of images to choose from. Instead, I started hitting every Nth page and used the extras to restock my leftover folder for future chanpurū.

Of course, no book collection would be complete without Yomiko Readman:

I will be quite impressed if a cosplayer manages to pull off a decent Kyoko:
