Comics Outta Context 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @comiccontext.bsky.social · 27/03/2026
In 1970s Metropolis - you can tell because it's scanned directly from an old comic book and clearly unavailable in digital form like far too much Superman content from that era, but I digress - Superman and an unidentifiable red-caped individual in a green costume are flying side by side as Superman gently lowers a man and his hang-glider to the street. Green clothed guy says, "He, there, SUPIE-BABY! We make one DYNAMITE TEAM--like CHICO AND THE MAN, ROWAN AND MARTIN...."

Many people have a smartphone but want to use it less. “This ambivalence,” @julieebeck.bsky.social reports, “is one of the key tensions of modern life. And for many people, it cannot be eliminated—only managed.” theatln.tc/KKGwvQnj

there was a lucie brock-broido poem in the new yorker this week
OF THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE BUT BY ME
What is it I will have left when I leave, little but the milkweed silk, My inky fetishes, my spirit-papers and my urns, like the simpler
Despot in Atghanistan— whose only leavings were a small herd Of mostly still unrusted Land Rovers with linen songbooks holding
All Islamic hymns and some antique Americana (Judy Garland, Andy Williams, Bing),
And just a few blond-gold effigies of self, in the gnarled garden Where he had spent endless hours petting his favorite cow.
The half-life of neptunium is 2.1 million years. My moment Is over-the most velvet of the annuals live far less than a year.
Regarding loss: I had been its isotope From the youngest age. Not momentous,
Just the small bunkers of a child's lack of long-term memory And its greenest lengths of moss. A pet green turtle expired after
The long hot summer of my own short-term amnesia, the drought Of my forgetting to water him while I was away riding spotted ponies
In the South. Every memory is a death, even the sweet ones:
Whatever rabbit eating parsley in the photograph
(I was a-beam with joy) in our unkempt yard-where mint grew
Tall and accidentally-is gone.
But at a certain moment in the middle of the summer dark Standing on the porch in the dotted Swiss of night, if you watch
Almost microscopically, you can perceive the orange daylilies then Begin to grow back after death before your eyes.
In my opinion, I am not scheduled yet to go,
Not anywhere, just now.
—Lucie Brock-Broido (1956-2018)

How did people in 1913 see the world? Scientists trained LLMs exclusively on pre-1913 texts—no Wikipedia, no 20/20. The model literally doesn't know of WWI. And it reflects spirit of the times without guardrails reflecting modern-day sensitivities. This is a terrific research application of LLMs.

i wrote for flaming hydra about my sober-addict relationship to all the drug use in The Last Waltz flaminghydra.com/issue-454/#t...
Ask a casual viewer for their favorite detail from The Last Waltz, Martin Scorsese’s 1978 documentary about The Band’s final performance at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom, and they’ll likely respond with Neil Young’s infamous cocaine booger. When Young joins The Band onstage for a tearjerking performance of “Helpless,” there it is, a crusty white stowaway dangling from his nose so ostentatiously that no amount of editing was evidently able to remove it. The booger may be what first betrays him, but once you see that, you can’t help but notice Young’s jaw appears to be screwed on sideways, too; he simply cannot keep his teeth from grinding. From there it’s a short leap to noticing how much all these performers sweat, scrutinizing their uniformly saucer-sized pupils, and realizing that maybe Robbie Robertson doesn’t say insane shit like “the beginning of the beginning of the end of the beginning” unless he’s high. If you’re not careful, the specter of coke will haunt your entire experience of The Last Waltz. You’ll see it everywhere, and it will derange you, until the songs no longer make you cry because they’re making you feel cheated instead.

I just don't understand not liking goodreads, how is this not entertaining to you? 😂 (pictured: really-existing goodreads review of Elfriede Jelinek's Greed)
Cody's review of Greed by Elfriede Jelinek goes unusually hard. For some reason, he refers to Jelinek as "El Friede."
