Yes, the Rumors Are True, Sushi Is About to Come to a Costco Near You Costco CFO Richard Galanti announced that the big box chain would be adding more Kirkland Signature sushi counter locations across the country following the success of its first branch in Issaquah, Washington.

just wanted to check in - anyone got fitness goals going here? i finally got a good gym access after moving, but mid 40's has been an adventure in minor injuries, haha. doing gardening stuff on the same day as deadlifts & other back exercices may not be the best call! nothing max does of ibuprofen & heating pads can't set right, may just box in the meantime my current line of work has me spending several hours walking & doing rounds, so weight hasn't been the issue it would've been otherwise. hoping to step things up this year!

should we do a poll here? maybe reach out to rachel and others who might be down to join, but aren't on the forum these days? i think we can totally manage a small cool group with some planning, and incorporate some video calling for others to join. like, every new years, we're still doing resolutions with lindsay & senshik, we can sort this out and make it work for anyone down to join for an anniversary thing speaking of: @Master Star just got hitched to @Mr. Sexy Hat so i think we have a better batting average than tinder at this rate also, @alive she cried just wanted to restate my interest in a video call if i can whenever one goes down!

been out of the loop with the genre so long, white folks got better at it also, i love the fuck out of thundercat *edit let's put some classic shit here too

minus one was so good! tempted to see it again in black & white Fascinating two articles that just dropped on Godzilla Minus One's development from director Yamazaki himself. Delves into the challenges Shirogumi faced while working on the movie, the VFX industry in Japan and what Hollywood could learn from the film's success. There was a lot of talk about the miracle they pulled off with Minus One's miniscule VFX budget when the movie came out so I thought this would be worth sharing. Way, way more in the links below.

having been dating the former president of the FIU anime club (real early to mid aughts celebrity shit around here!) i've been watching a lot of retro anime this last year or so, thought this was pretty applicable to a community founded before this was so widely available (and thank god it is, nothing about the 3 subtitled episode $40 vhs era needs to come back )

20 YEAR BUMP they finally found out how to get the rest of the hidden games (super mario bros & zelda 1!) working, this is so cool
