It's a good thing the run time is only 140 minutes, because you have to call your doctor if this movie lasts more than 4 hours

Some of my favorite pages from Luxury Ball (2016)
Cover of the Luxury Ball zine. Roselia in a flowing formal gown, sitting on a pokeball, with the words “Luxury Ball” in aggressively loopy cursive. James from the Pokemon anime in heels and a strapless sequin dress, sitting on top of his partner Weezing. Deoxys in its speed an attack forms. Deoxys speed wears a form-fitting romper with a cape, Deoxys attack wears pearl earrings and tiara and a flowing single-shoulder dress. Sableye wears a cowl dress and several jeweled accessories. She’s sitting on top of a Probobass, who seems unbothered.

I turned 25 in 1999. That guy is obscenely excited for “written by Tarantino, directed by Fincher”

If I was worried people were going to find out the technology I was selling couldn’t do what I said it could do, I might say that it was too dangerous and should be regulated to prevent people having full access to it.

I find that listening to someone talk about how crucial Beefheart is way more engaging than listening to Beefheart.

No one has ever successfully and consistently predicted the future. Please remember this every time you read an article about what AI will do. There will be negative and positive things that will happen in the future. Absolutely no one knows what they are. No one.

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection
A backrooms-ass room with a twilight sky and trees seemingly imposed over it in a dream-like fashion (it's the reflection of the window)

Hey comics people, friends & colleagues. As of today, our friend @artyomtopilin.bsky.social is under house arrest in his home town of Tolyatti due to ongoing FSB investigation. We don't have much details yet, but his computer and phone were taken by the police, so communication with him is hindered.

I expect it was the only rapper he could name because he heard a song when he was in high school and that was his most contemporary example.

Listen to this king at a Huntington City Council meeting on Flock Cameras:

"I'm not gonna waste your time, I'm kinda hungry, but one last thing. Every single Flock camera has about 2-3 lbs of copper and about 1-2 grams of gold. Do with that information what you will."

Illegal production or not, the "gold" coin is hilarious because anyone over the age of 5 will know that it isn't made of gold, and yet it's just another tiny drop in the ocean of falsehoods from the namesake.

I was confused when I saw this then realized I’d read this weeks ago because @seanphillips.bsky.social and Brubaker give a gift to comic book shops in having it a month before @m@z@n. It’s also impressive that this is a top five books by this team after more than 20 years and 25 books. Bravo!

there’s still a steady drip of provocation, but the package is more focused, the lyrics more developed. clearly they were onto something: this specific song was huge, but the whole album is good. put this on and skulk around your neighborhood in the dark to get the full effect.

I read it. I actually wrote a long detailed review of it but then stuff got overly busy and I haven’t finished editing it. I liked it. It’s a sprawling crime noir with a lot of subtle storytelling driving a somewhat overblown plot. I liked it a lot.

Random Thing: The online attention "economy" has destroyed so many creative people's confidence. Let's bring back artists getting together at cafes and bars to show off their work to each other and their friends over coffee/drinks. Scarves and berets optional, but encouraged.

I have my issues with Bluesky and its management, but the fact that so many people who work in media are desperate to present it as a failure because it didn't instantly dethrone Twitter is so weird. Especially when it's one of the only sites that doesn't bury their own link posts.

If you look at CNBC's own accounts here and on X, they get roughly the same amount of engagement, despite the fact that they have 5.7 million followers on X, and 53k here. They have 100x more followers there, and the same engagement as here. And Bluesky is the site that's failing, somehow.

I write reviews sometimes (non-professionally) and the one thing I try to avoid is a step-by-step rehash of the plot. TCJ does this often and I end up skimming most for this reason. The plot is the least interesting thing in narrative art for me. Tell me how it *feels* to read a book.

I have been a patron in the past and I have bought ebooks because OJST is a great site run by a great cartoonist. You should check it out and subscribe. And if you're one of my followers that's a billionaire, you should make a donation of $100k to support the site and independent artists.

Since Aye-Eye is such a marketing term, I think anytime I start talking about machine learning to someone whose enthusiasm is unknown, I’m going to refer to it as “a bot” We all hate chat bots so we need to put more stink on the new bots.
