The live drawing/Q&A/inappropriate muppets based comedy hour to finish out #LICAF was great fun. Superb way to finish out the weekend. Art is Wolverine Michael Lark drawn by Gemma Correll which about sums up the panel.

they’ve just broken ground on a massive new Cursed Tomb near me. When it’s finished it’ll cause the river to dry up and blight the very land around it, and there will be a constant wailing noise that drives you insane? It’s critical though to power the ghouls and wraiths transforming our economy

These are the companies that Ireland kowtow to. Bending over backwards to welcome the dystopia into our country, and by association, Europe, where they can avoid consequence because our data protection commissioners are the definition of regulatory capture.

Catching up on Absolute Batman, and something I think that's overlooked is how brilliant a comic (as in comedy) artist @nickdragotta.bsky.social is. There have been a few moments in this series that have really cracked me up. Expression, pose, timing, framing, it's all there. Just wonderful stuff.

Cory Doctorow's newsletter is daily, so it's a lot of content, but I regard it as essential for many reasons - primarily keeping up to date on A.I and various other tech broligarcy/capitalism scams. This quote (by way of science fiction writer Steven Brust) really hits home for me:

Cory Doctorow's newsletter is essential reading on the intersection between technology and capitalism: "This is the kind of doctrine you can only fully embrace after sustaining the kind of highly specific neurological injury that is induced by taking an economics degree"

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

A summation of the situation where people are directed to focus their ire at fraudulent benefit claimants rather than at the rich who are the cause of all poverty.

DC is, forgive the pun, absolutely dropping the ball on this one. They have pole position right now over Marvel and could make embracing an ongoing black lead series a true cultural moment. The excuses are tired.

1/2 Hearing a lot about the concept of living with 'friction' as opposed to AI doing all of our thinking/work for us. I think it's a crucial point, and, as ever, Ray Bradbury has a quote for this:

Honestly I’m quite happy to cut off HP/JKR supporters the same way I have conservatives in my life. At this point there’s a concentric circle for both groups in that “you knew what you were supporting, but you put your own WANTS in front of the NEEDS of others because it don’t affect you”.

"How does one hate a country, or love one?" Ursula Le Guin always out there expressing my exact feelings in trying times.

“How does one hate a country, or love one? Tibe talks about it; I lack the trick of it. I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain plowland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? What is love of one's country; is it hate of one's uncountry? Then it's not a good thing. Is it simply self-love? That's a good thing, but one mustn't make a virtue of it, or a profession... Insofar as I love life, I love the hills of the Domain of Estre, but that sort of love does not have a boundary-line of hate. And beyond that, I am ignorant, I hope.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
