In my time in the CCG mines, I did the equivalent — write little descriptions of what we wanted, which went to the art director who hired an artist to do it, and eventually I’d see the result This did not make me an artist.

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SHIT. The easiest way to tell that trans women are women is that the right is so desperate to control what they do with their bodies. WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMMON.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

We're back. The Power Fantasy returns on December 9th, carefully timed to be just after everyone has wrapped their comics of the year lists, so making folks go "Oh - wait, they did those banger two issues in January and February and I forgot, never mind."
The Power Fantasy 17 cover, by Caspar Wijngard. Valentina, making a peace scene with rasberry jam on her hand, probably.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.

Trump voters love Trump because he tells them explicitly that the system has failed, and makes it okay to be a criminal. It's why evidence of his many crimes doesn't dissuade them. His crimes are why they vote for him. His crimes make their crimes permissible.
