ChatGPT is adding the signatures of real New Yorker cartoonists to its AI-generated images. So far, I've found the signatures of more than 15 contributors. "It’s slop, and unlike the other slop that I’ve encountered, this is slop that’s pretending to be me." www.niemanlab.org/2026/10/chat...

So, the President of the United States thinks it's no big deal if Iran "takes out" Los Angeles or San Diego. There is no context that can make this mean anything other than he does not care if American cities are attacked and destroyed by a foreign power.

Comics have worked hard to become a $2 billion industry, but there's still a long way to go to create economic security for creators

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Oct LGBTQnation Op-ed by activist/scholar Warren Blumenfeld notes how oppressed groups often strike out those closest and asks if pressure from the Right's war on trans is pushing us to attack one another and "eat our own" instead of focusing who's really at fault.

Our internalized oppression is not our fault, but it's on us to take steps to reduce or even eliminate it.
