Why yes, I would like a copy of Mischief of Magpies #2 signed by @sispurrier.bsky.social & @matiasbergara.bsky.social for cover price 👀 (via @neonichiban.bsky.social).

Why did it take me this long to cast comics to my 55” OLED? Dunno if I can go back to regular size @ffrancavilla.bsky.social ever again. (Via @weirdcitymedia.com )

Yes!!!! I’ve been holding off on reading “White House Robot Romance” until the @neonichiban.bsky.social iOS app testing started. 🙌 Good things take time, (and I am here for it).

And to achieve this moment, Sam’s company (cosplaying as a Nonprofit) stole all the printing presses, and every piece of content they ever printed, to build his “AI Printing Press” — don’t forget.

““The session was a lovefest, with both Altman and the senators celebrating what Altman called AI’s “printing press moment””

So it begins, again... @kevinrose.bsky.social & @alexisohanian.bsky.social have the right idea: Building something for people like myself who've pulled way back from contributing to online communities because of how they're crawled by marketers/feds/GenAI training. Excited to Digg back in.

For anyone who needs it right now…
Captain America comic panel that reads: 

“Doesn’t matter what the press says. Doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mob says. Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides something **wrong** is something right. 

This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or consequences. 

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth and tell the whole world: “No, you move.”

Encouraging words from Alan Moore circa 2007, much needed in this era of unapologetic LLM theft. It’s hard to get motivated to write stories worth sharing publicly when we know it’ll likely end up as training data.

Woke up to 100+ reactions from my last @flashes.blue post, with literally no self promotion. That’s more than I ever got at Instagram, which once again I really do not miss! Also, more pies from the past. #pie

So @flashes.blue limits photo uploads to 4 per post. Wouldn’t mind it increasing to 10, but I can live with it if it means being off of Instagram. Also, more pie credentials.
