Starting a list of the words that my 4-year-old substitutes for the actual terminology: *"Buffalo" = combustion, like in an engine HIM: This is the engine for my rocket ship! It uses the buffalo to make it go super fast

Happy belated #DayofDredd! Salute, forever, to John Wagner & Carlos Ezquerra (RIP) for creating one of the best comics of the last 50 years 🫡 Judge Dredd was the foundation of my doctoral thesis. So many amazing comics creators cut their teeth there, and the core folks making it continue to rock

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Meanwhile, many of the women harmed had their careers and aspirations derailed. But it's supposedly unfair for him not to be given a second chance.

I am deeply disappointed in Image for choosing to publish new comics from Ellis without him doing that work, when he previously abused his position as a popular comics writer to do what he did.

With the conversations happening here today, I'm thinking about how Ellis gets to have a "second chance" without doing any of the work to change or even meaningfully apologise to the scores of women he harmed and manipulated. All he had to do was wait a while.

In order to reduce sibling rivalry we've introduced the new baby as an essentially tragic figure who's crying all the time bc he can't eat all the delicious foods the toddler can eat. I think its working but this morning the toddler solemnly told me "baby cryin cus e can't eat pineapple... Or bugs"

Reading Spider-Man: The Afterschool Special TPB to the child has given me a space to practice voice work - in some cases, very, very stupid voice work - which has yielded, uh, mixed reactions (he is not a fan of my terrible fake Slavic accent for Kraven)

And you must hire creators who were not raised to register those people and stories as invisible. Because they do not have the capacity to take stock of what is missing due to their blind spots. They take our current recorded history at face value with a lack of curiosity and imagination.

Allow the fantasy to work as our reality does. With new stories being uncovered as the fight for justice continues. And you can include those stories without changing the existing history. All you are doing is showing the entirety of it where only a portion was shown before.

Thank you, kind stranger, for resurrecting this thread. One, because I'd completely forgotten about it. Two, because we're at a point where DC and Marvel are staring down the recreation of their live-action universes and I think it applies.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Nichole Hiltz
The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be “It’s simple math, vote blue no matter who, grow up” and ALSO believe you are fighting fascism by making calculations as to who’s expendable. The world we’re in now demands more from us. More from everyone.
