"Israel, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, the US and more are merging into a mega-war run by robots. They used to call these World Wars. They used to call people on the phone. The most common call I get today is from someone named 'Scam Likely.'" sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/quicksand

More THE NICE GUYS doodles. It came out 10 years ago this week. It was the first movie I saw in theatres after moving to Chicago, which means I moved to Chicago 10 years ago, and I feel very normal about that. Anyway if we can't get a sequel can I have money to draw their further adventures.

This strip is not in Nerd Inferno (it was done for my Patreon). There still may be a Dork #12 some day. Or not. I'm tired.

A comic strip about Edgar Allan Poe. You don't want to know.

Wow. Yeah, this is great! And somehow I missed that show existing at all.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Simply put, make the games you want to play and focus less on insidious monetization. Passion for a project, not to succeed by corporate margins but just to be realized, is infectious.

A lot of streaming shows seem stretched out, padding the narrative with flashbacks and backstory as they make their slow slog to the closing credits. Episodes of The Pitt, on the other hand, always end way too soon.

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

I don't want you to separate me and my art. Art. Artist. Same dude. If I ever milkshake duck on y'all & start saying some wild ass hateful shit, please, for the love of God, throw out my books. Put my DVDs in the microwave just to be sure. I won't be the guy who wrote them anymore. Art IS the artist

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

1/ There’s a lot of focus today on Nike’s warning that the company expects to take a $1 billion tariff hit, but I want to highlight the people — besides U.S. consumers — who could bear the brunt of Trump’s policy. Thread 🧵

Uhhhh chat does this mean this was real after all cause it’s pretty much the same thing??

A screenshot meme from the game final fantasy tactics of a character Wiegraf saying ‘If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.’ Often quoted on social media, but it was made by a leftist as a joke that went out of control and became near canon

A look inside my mini retro video shop, a gift from my wife Steph, who commissioned the talented @mechamelissa.bsky.social to hand-make every detail in here according to a list Steph gave her of all my formative movies and lots of Easter eggs from my life/work. A tiny paradise on my bookshelf.

I managed to see the 1925 Ben Hur in an auditorium with a massive Wurlitzer providing the accompanying music. That was in Wichita in the 00s at some point. Pretty epic!

I didn't know Ben Hur was leaving! No idea if I'll get to it, though.

Soubhiye, from Lebanese Arabic, is the enjoyment of a quiet moment of peace before everyone else is awake. Gökotta is a Swedish term for waking up early to enjoy the birdsong. For the rest of us, there is hurkle-durkling, from Scots: lingering in bed long after it’s time to get up.
