Dems, please pay attention to what we want. No going back to the same old shit. There’s no such thing as “our friends across the aisle”. We want accountability, tax the goddamn ultra wealthy and make this country a better place.

ChatGPT is adding real cartoonists’ signatures to fake New Yorker cartoons
OpenAI's chatbot isn't just imitating the magazine's style. It's also falsely attributing AI-generated images to real artists.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

NEW ADVICE-FROM-LIEBER LIST! I've posted these tips as a thread before, but I figured it's about time I made it available as a single, shareable image.
MISTAKES I'VE MADE THAT YOU CAN AVOID
Don't be like me.
1. Don't trash your own work when complemented. In that context your self-deprecation is insulting someone else's taste! Just say thanks and change the subject. Maybe credit an influence?
2. As far as your readers are concerned, comics are drawn with a printing press or a monitor. Don't fetishize the original art or the tools you make it. Anything that gets the story told the way it needs to be told is the right tool for the job.
3. Don't use one job to audition for another. It's unfair to your collaborators and a betrayal of the reader to get flashy or sexy or explosive if the moment in the story doesn't call for it.
4. The important storytelling choices on a page can be worked out in thumbnails. Gesture, camera angle, framing, broad arrangement of tones-get this stuff right before you worry about anatomy, lighting, drapery, or facial expressions.
5. Some artists can put down a final inkline with no underdrawing, but that's because they're skilled and experienced enough to do all that underdrawing in their head. You probably aren't. Get your underdrawing right and save the masterstrokes for the masters.
6. What you're feeling while you work doesn't matter. What the audience feels when they read it does. You can be happy and still do a great drawing of someone in agony. You should understand what you're depicting. It's not necessary to experience it in real time at the board.
7. Get a fresh eye on your work. You never know when some accidental juxtaposition is going to completely change your intended meaning.
8. Don't let getting things 100% right keep you from getting things done. It's easy to get bogged down in research or prep sketches. Make a schedule at the start of a project so you know how much time you have. Do the best you can with the time allotted and move on. But...

ICE brutally detain woman's gardener-right in front of her house. 4 goons drag and violently pull man out of truck head-first. Kneel on his back after pinned down to pavement. "I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" he cries out. Incident occurred in Everett, Washington.

Para el Grito de Lares, el Dr. Ramón Emeterio Betances también comisionó la creación de un himno para alientar al pueblo en son de lucha armada. La poeta Lola Rodríguez de Tió escribió “La Borinqueña”, usando la melodía de una danza. Ese fue nuestro primer himno y es el himno real de Puerto Rico.

Collins also exemplifies why we need a press willing to stand up and push back, rather than spend years fearfully what-abouting and softballing around important and egregious things...
four-panel cartoon of Trumpy (#43, volume 2), with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net", and "Vol.2#43 01-13-2026" in the bottom right corner.

All four panels depict Trumpy in the background standing at a lectern speaking to the press, represented by a bunch of hands holding microphones pointed at him.  His speech isn't shown, he is in the background. In the foreground, we see two press reporters whispering to each other. The panels are basically the same, with Trumpy changing positions as he gestures in the background.

Panel 1
Reporter 1: "He's rambling again..."
Reporter 2: "Incoherent..."

Panel 2
Reporter 1: "Wow. That was racist."
Reporter 2: "Very. And frighteningly dangerous."

Panel 3
Reporter 1: "Enough is enough! Someone should Do something! That's It! I'm going to ask a challenging question!"
Reporter 2: "No, you won't."

Panel 4
Reporter 1: "No, I won't..."
