Today was loooooong due to travel woes and honestly the weakest retailer day I've been to, but there were some bright spots.

Was curious if maybe this was a case of a bad panel title so I checked out the description and actually I think it’s worse somehow! www.newyorkcomiccon.com/en-us/things...

This is a separately ticketed course. Register here: https://events.leapevents.com/tickets/nycc26cle257gbdjk61wpv2

This CLE program explores how the rapid advancement of AI tools—now capable of producing near market-ready comic art, scripts, and character designs—has heightened legal uncertainty around authorship, ownership, and infringement. Focusing on risk mitigation, the program analyzes the U.S. Copyright Office’s evolving human authorship framework, along with recent federal decisions that narrow protection for AI-assisted and machine-generated works.

Participants will examine how integrating AI into creative workflows can create gaps in the chain of title, complicate rights enforcement, and expose creators, publishers, and their counsel to avoidable liability. The program then shifts to practical strategies attorneys can implement immediately, including strengthening documentation protocols, structuring agreements to address AI inputs and outputs, navigating disclosure obligations, and developing internal policies designed to preserve protectable interests while reducing litigation risk in an increasingly hybrid creative environment.

This session is approved for 2.5 CLE credits of professional practice for NY (transitional and non-transitional) and 2.5 general credits for NJ.

That's going on right down the hall from Retailer Day. I guess NYCC thought learning how to use ai and not get sued was important.

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

One of America’s Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center

A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

It would be cool if the retailers at Retailer Day shut the fuck up and listened to the speakers.

Even people who are suppsoed to be here can't hear what is being said beyond a few rows. This is annoying because I was in the same area for a giant Crunchyroll panel at AnimeNYC a few years ago and the sound was great all the way to the restroom. Javits, don't do comics dirty! #nycc #retailerday

How cool is this? ORLA!, the horror romcom from me, @sallycantirino.bsky.social, @dearbhlala.bsky.social, @letteringbear.bsky.social & @madcavestudios.com, has made the New York Public Library's list of the Best New Comics for Adults of 2026!   www.nypl.org/books-more/r...

Screengrab from the linked article, with a picture of the Orla! graphic novel cover, and this text underneath:

Illustrated by Sally Cantirino | Orla Bard is out for love and out for blood! It seems every man she meets gives her the ick, which turns her into a massive, man-eating monster. Despite her carnivorous appetite, she still seeks true love in this campy rom-com.

I admit to being rather confused when some folks offer that Andrew Tate should face the death penalty for his sex crimes when it's a well-known fact he was brutally murdered by Greta Thunberg back in 2022.

I can’t believe it! In the time since I looked at the clock and said, “Oh, Darkest Dungeon has launched on BackerKit, better make a post about it,” we’ve already blasted past $50,000 in funding! A huge thanks to everyone who has pledged support. Will you join them? www.backerkit.com/c/projects/v...

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

Televangelist Jim Bakker-- seen here bawling as the FBI drags him away-- finally kicked the bucket. Age 86. WHY do these creeps never die young? He and his gruesome wife Tammy Faye were the faces of Christian Nationalism in the 1980s. Here's my Bakker story:

"Killing in the Name of" by Rage against the Machine is such a powerful song that people often forget that the song that comes right after that on the album is a heart breaking cover of Raffi's 1994 hit "Banannaphone".
