Art is a magical technology in that it transmits images, ideas, and memories from one human brain to another, across distance and time. Think of the breathtaking immediacy and humanity of the Ea-Nasir letters or the marginalia doodles in medieval manuscripts.

www.asahi.com/sp/ajw/artic... while we remember her glamour and her film roles, I think it's worthwhile to read Miwa's recollections of the bombing of Nagasaki. She was a drag queen, an artist and an activist who survived an inhumane atrocity to be her full queer self to the age of 91.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

It’s especially weird because Sugawara’s character in the Battles Without Honor and Humanity series, Shozo Hirono, is the visual and (loose) thematic inspiration for Kiryu in the Yakuza series. Yet for whatever reason (I’m sure they tried) Sugawara was never cast in the games before passing in 2014

Think the negative reaction to Tupac in RGG’s new game is very valid and good but also feels worth pointing out there are actually TWO deceased people in that game. They announced Bunta Sugawara was in it weeks ago. Kotaku had a pretty solid article but it went mostly unchecked by press so lol.
