New illustrated fiction in the works, this time in the superhero genre. Though I've been quite tight-lipped, the art Mariah has been doing is so good, I couldn't resist sharing a little. #superheroes #comics #writing #graphicnovel

The first “cinematic” TV show. And it was culture defining. These two photos of me, taken a year apart, demonstrate just how big its impact was.

The brain trust over at DN have discovered a new and pernicious form of bigotry: “AI-phobia.” 😂🤪

Philosophers at DN are starting to feel like Bertie Wooster, but without any of the charm.

This Bright Young Thing suggests that if one thinks being articulate in presenting philosophical ideas is essential to being a competent academic philosopher, it’s akin to saying foreign language speakers or mute people can’t be competent academic philosophers. This person is *paid* to teach. 🤦‍♂️

It’s hard to tell whether philosophers have gotten catastrophically more stupid or the Daily Nous just attracts the stupidest philosophers.

Our profession continues to demonstrate it is incapable of making rudimentary distinctions. This poor guy doesn’t think there’s any meaningful difference between writing with AI and using a quill pen. Nor does he have any idea what ‘intelligence’ means.

The chap who submitted the AI written paper to PPA announced the following in the comments at DN. It goes deep into the land of stupid and crazy. At the end, he even suggests there is an *ethical duty* to use AI. 🤪 See my remarks on this fiasco here: leiterreports.com/2026/08/24/s...
