Gonna take a couple years and the EU I think and who knows how much they've capitalized on the market by then

Low key pretty sure OpenAI's agents are also responsible for the Danish Social Security data breach which coincided with the Australian data breach and numerous data breaches in Japan. Like, this can't be a coincidence all this shit is happening all at once...

Literally every time I've finished a book and it's come back from print I've been like "... cool!" and then thrown it on a pile. The satisfaction from making a single drawing or a good page though - priceless👌 Not sure if that relates anything at all to the above just felt like sharing

am confused by the *grew*
Color cover to Jonah Hex #83 by Hannigan DeZuñiga, with "YOU LIKED HEROES AS A KID? GREAT! NOW MAYBE IT'S TIME YOU GREW UP!" as a header above the series' title, and a portrait of Hex holding a gun and a knocked over glass, his head between two bottles, one's empty, another one's with a small rest of beverage in it

I saw 5 seconds of Aliens on TV and couldn't sleep for a month. (It was the bit in the beginning where Ripley wakes up frozen or gets frozen or whatever I forget either way I saw a tiny bit of a facehugger and essentially had my nightmares sniped by Giger)

Thinking again about teaching cartooning classes aimed specifically at animation professionals who desperately want to make that comic. Feels like I'm always meeting brilliantly talented animation folks who just need a context to get started honestly.

Recorded episodes of @inthisissue.bsky.social with @cuntersthompson.bsky.social & @nathangelgud.bsky.social this week and they’re both so good! Doing the pod is helping to repair my relationship with the whole dang art form—Talking about great comics with smart funny people is legit invigorating 🙌

I don't understand heteronormativity. Somehow skateboarding - balancing on a piece of wood - is seen as masculine and warriors dress up like literal peacocks throughout history doesn't make anyone bat an eye but put on high heels -which were invented for the purposes of horseback archery- and ur gay

I love WW2 movies owing to being a dork but realistically the only good American WW2 movie is Patton because it's about a fucking maniac.

Trailer to Pressure looks like horse shit. A last gasp of the tone deaf American propaganda machine to use WW2 to say look how mighty and good we are. Same with that football WW2 movie which looks dumb af.

Class struggle. Upper middle class gate keepers determining what is art so they can control the wealth, ignoring working class people's art forms unless they can profit from them (Basquiat is a prime example of this.)

I have to actively force myself to not sit down and draw and routinely fail to do so, much to the detriment of my own health whereas any dingbat with a keyboard and the newest AI toy has to force himself to give a shit about anything at all on the daily least it be dividends or proteinmaxxing.

What this all goes to show is that art is not a commodity as much as it is an obsession, that is to say those poor fucks who actually make art do so because we are plagued daily by the idea of not doing it like staring down the barrel of ineptitude and desolation.
