I appreciate that the Harry Potter franchise has been criticised to death but one thing I don't see mentioned much is the romantic ideal it presents of boarding schools, those hot beds of abuse that wealthy families dump their kids into when they don't want to raise them

As most of my Doc Ock art is based on Spider-Man 2, I thought to show some love to No Way Home Ock with a very simple practice animation! I focused mostly on practicing animating Flo & Mo's movements/experiment more with layers/work on stabilizing lineart too! Had fun with it though! 8D

A football player says "glad you're here in the USA for football season, Junji Ito. Let me show you how to throw a perfect spiral." The football plater throws the ball. Ito is mesmerized. Spirals appear in his eyes and he sweats profusely. We zoom in on his face in an extreme closeup as the intensity of his terror increases.

A three panel comic done in mostly a blue-purple ink. Frame 1: The artist, a tired person with their hair in a bun and a bag on their shoulder standing in the awning of a bus shelter. There's an ad on it that says "STOP HIRING HUMANS", above a woman whose face has been replace with the word "AI".
Frame 2: The bus comes, it's wrapped in an ad that also says "STOP HIRING HUMANS." The artist has a blank look.
Frame 3: A plane has now arrived above the bus and the human. It's carrying an ad banner that also says "STOP HIRING HUMANS".

However much you hate British media, it is not enough www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09...

How having a disability became cool
Young women, nicknamed ‘sickfluencers’, are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend and entrenching a culture of economic inactivity

Young women are also more likely to get caught up in “social contagion” – the spontaneous spread of behaviours or emotions previously observed by sociologists in “outbreaks” of bulimia, self-harm and transgender ideology. What may have otherwise been transitory feelings are seized upon and obsessed over until they form a central pillar of a person’s identity. A chronic-illness influencer won’t want to get “better” any more than a female-bodied transgender person would want to re-identify with their sex.

Little spotlight on the trans MCs in Synthetic Sea 🩵🩷🤍 franklynnewt.carrd.co

Trans rep in Synthetic Sea " Ryoma is a trans man and a retired boxer turn private detective, grieving and lonely when he meets...

... Guinn, a non binary cybernetic lounge singer troubled by their past, living in a world of melancholic nostalgia

Quote from synthetic sea "

With little fan fair, Guins eyes flickered open and they pushed themself up silently to the surface, elbows resting on the tiled edge of the pool.
They pushed their hair back and gazed up at Ryoma with a lazy smile.

More than ever they seemed like a mermaid, a siren, waiting to draw him into the ocean"

I love charts like this, as they remind us that good policy is possible AND successful There’s a similar trend for Paris and indeed there’s no secret to it: it’s all urban planning to improve public transport and incentivise an overwhelming adoption of it, and also reintroduce much more greenery

Chart that showcases Paris throughout the years and its air pollution levels, showcasing the years 2007, 2012, 2017 and 2023. Gradually, what were extremely high pollution levels gradually decreased, turning areas which are coloured red into progressively greener ones, which indicate considerably lower air pollution levels if not healthy air quality entirely
