That “war” lasted approx. 2000 years, so it can't really be called war. Still, it's all very interesting because the male genes passed along after this mostly belonged to the aggressive type, which would in turn explain the last few thousand years of history. So idk, perhaps we should all relax now?

My top 99comics, #67. The Saga of Vam by Igor Kordey and Vladimir Colin is a fantasy series about a man betrayed by gods. It's a story taking place in an imagined universe, that feels like one of the great mythological stories by ancient people from our own history.

The best way to watch Star Wars, in proper order: 1. Star Wars the original trilogy (the original cut, no CGI weirdness, Han shoots Greedo, period) 2. Andor 3. Rogue One And that's it. I just watched it that way, and it was beautiful.

The only sensible approach to watching TV shows these days: wait until the whole thing has been released, then check ratings for the final season's finale. Because it doesn't make sense to invest your time into something that started great, but then producers saw the opportunity to milk it dry.

This is the aftermath of a brutal attack on Ivica the Space Hamster's ship while they were enjoying breakfast on their first ever expedition into the outer reaches. I was there, on the attackers' ship, so I had the privilege of commemorating the event with this drawing. I'm afraid no one survived.

Brody King shared a post about what is happening in LA right now on Instagram. #AEW 🤼

Let me be clear

What’s happening in Los Angeles right now is not only morally reprehensible—it’s legally indefensible. This is a sanctuary city, a designation that was democratically voted on and enacted into law by the residents of this city—not by political opportunists grandstanding from a golf course in Florida.

Let’s be clear: being undocumented in the United States is not a criminal offense. It is a civil violation. That means it holds the same legal weight as running a stop sign on a bicycle, setting off a firework after a drink, or selling unlicensed fan merch on Etsy. It is subject to civil penalties—typically a fine—not imprisonment, not detention, and certainly not extrajudicial abduction.

Dragging someone off the street at gunpoint, without a warrant or due process, and forcing them into an unmarked vehicle operated by armed, plainclothed agents is not law enforcement—it is armed kidnapping. And armed kidnapping is a felony—a real one.

So if you’re going to obsess over who is “illegal,” start by looking at the heavily armed individuals violating constitutional protections under the guise of enforcing the law. Because what they’re doing is criminal, not the people they’re targeting.

Superman vs Muhammad Ali cover preliminary by Joe Kubert, 1976, black & white image. Legend has it that Kubert's image was dumped because Ali's management didn't like the way he looked, so the commission was passed to Neal Adams. Imo, the Kubert version is tighter, more dynamic, more interesting.

This is naughty of me, but when AI prompters start arguing that they're artists, what I like to do is use AI for the discussion, just paste whatever it generates as a counter-reply. So yeah, I let them argue with an AI. I so enjoy the irony of it.

So I had this discussion with a guy claiming that, because art is an illusion, and what AI spits out is also an illusion, that AI is therefore art, and he should be valued and appreciated as an artist. This was my response, made it into a pic because it's a bit longer.

Mitt Marney on Bluesky: a reply to a prompter.
1. Art is a discipline.
Painting is a practice.
It involves real effort:
honing skills,
process of trial and error,
physical labour
emotional investment.
To call something a painting,
which did not include any of that,
is misleading.

2. Effort creates value.
It comes not only from what you see,
but more important,
how it came to be.
The process is what makes it art.

3. Honesty matters.
Lying about this is not a harmless illusion.
It is trying to deceive people
into attributing skill and labour
to the person that wrote
a simple set of instructions,
and that person did not invest anything.
They have displayed no skill,
they provided no effort.

4. It isn't just about the outcome,
it is about authenticity,
process,
intent.

5. It is unfair to real artists,
who are struggling in an oversaturated market.
When someone tries to pass off AI as art,
they are not just lying,
they are eroding the value of real human effort,
training,
and creativity.

6. No one is banning you from
generating pretty pictures with AI.
Just be honest about what it is.
If you're proud of the result,
then be proud of the prompt,
not pretend you painted it.
Understand: you are not an artist,
you are a prompter.

The Eternaut TV show is not the comic book. It's only based on it and so far it is not as great. However, the comic is a masterpiece and the bar it set is really high. What we got, once it cleared the awkward initial episodes, is still a more than decent apocalyptic television, and I like it so far.
