The growing North American anime fandom was getting mainstream media attention by the mid-90s, with the Sci-fi Channel heading to Anaheim to ask a question: why are y'all so fascinated with Japanese animation and comic books?

A neat peek at Anime Expo in 1994.

Only if you don’t believe in the Darth Jar Jar theory!

FWIW I’ll always defend The Phantom Menace. Y’all cannot convince me that it isn’t a good movie.

The Star Wars prequels going from mass ridicule to being considered a grounded, realistic critique of modern day issues is honestly just embarrassing for reality

Alright, I need to sleep, one final basketball thought:

The Lakers are better when LeBron doesn’t play and the evidence is getting to be overwhelming.

No, idk why it’s the case. I’m not convinced that it will continue to be the case.

But…I also just can’t really form a counter argument either.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Let’s be real: seemed like a lid was on the bucket for that half of the court

Idk how to explain it, but it’s a thing sometimes. Both teams played worse during the half they had that basket.

Final:
Timberwolves 106
Lakers 120

Imagine the ticket price for a con like this in 2026

After 1 quarter, Wolves/Lakers is on pace for a final score of 84-64

2 of the top 3 scorers in the NBA are playing in this game

It’s even more upsetting in the central time zone

I assume those watching on the east coast are in literal pain

Another record is on the table tonight: lowest scoring game in the shot clock era

Seriously, what is happening in this Lakers/Wolves game???

Ahhhhhh, now it makes sense

The Lakers and Wolves donated their offensive abilities to Bam tonight, Spirit Bomb style

This kind of post is *EXACTLY* why you should be following @kpelton.bsky.social

Should be noted every time we see these kinds of photos that for all the impact the late Philadelphia statistician Harvey Pollack had on NBA history, handing Wilt Chamberlain the famous "100" paper is probably his greatest influence.

…I’m really annoyed that I didn’t think of this joke first

In honor of Bam’s historic accomplishment, I offer this as tribute:

His name is one of my favorite to read and change to something else completely. Bam Adebayo is a good name, but “Ba made ba, yo” is an excellent nonsensical statement

No, I don’t know why my brain works this way either

He’s basically gotta release a follow up asap now

Is It Possible To Score 100 Points In An NBA Game YouTube video by JxmyHighroller

Kinda feels like Spo and Bam watched the latest JxmyHighRoller vid and decided to take it personally

I really love that it’s Bam that got 83

People are going to get this wrong at trivia nights for YEARS

IMO Luka is definitely one of the few guys who theoretically *could* get to 100. So much has to lineup perfectly though.

Also, if he’s gonna set a record, I’d bet on the opponent being Dallas.

Bam getting 83 is WILD

I’m all for letting the players play a more physical style of basketball…but why does it feel like the options always boil down to “no touching” or “bare knuckle brawls allowed”?

I promise, there is a middle ground

Ok that was also a no-call on that last play.

Tatum pretty clearly got fouled before the shot.

If he’s anything like me, he will respond with ongoing confusion about what just happened

Idk…Jaylen would NOT let up.

I wanna hear what happened directly from JB. Are we missing some context?

If I was in Jaylen Brown’s shoes, I’d absolutely have gotten that first technical. Egregious no-call by the ref.

Idk why he decided to keep pushing and get a 2nd…and then still keep going after being ejected

Did the ref say something uncalled for?
