Recently read: 'Infidel' by @pornsak.bsky.social and @aaroncampbellarts.com. It's a fantastic book--scary, tragic, and thought provoking. I can't believe it didn't sweep the Eisners and all the other awards. It's the best book I've read this year.

Alas, Comic Book Creator failed to secure the Eisner Award for Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism this year. Congratulations to David Harper and SKTCHD for the well-deserved win. #theresalwaysnextyear

This might be a good day to rewatch @clmazin.bsky.social's amazing HBO series, Chernobyl. "The truth doesn't care about our needs or wants, it doesn't care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lie in wait for all time. And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl."

Very good article what it would take for AI to have "agency" and self-preservation goals (w/ a few quotes from me). & I appreciate the reiterated debunking of the "GPT-4 on its own lied to a TaskRabbit worker to solve a captcha" story. www.quantamagazine.org/why-do-we-te...

I sometimes wonder how it would feel to have been born other than I am or where I am. Edward Hopper’s paintings make me feel nostalgic for a past I never lived. I love this! 🎨🖌 British painter, “Phil Lockwood” painted this, he filled every window with an “EDWARD HOPPER” painting.

The needle drops in Dan Fogelman's #Paradise are amazing, featuring lesser known covers of hit tunes. Just one example: an episode that included a discussion of 'Rocky III' later featured this haunting version of 'Eye of the Tiger'

@galeannehurd.bsky.social I just noticed you were the producer on Switchback (1997). It's a strong action/thriller -- but what makes it spectacular is the location work. The film has such a beautiful and evocative sense of place.
