EXPL0IT (4 issues) by @timleong.bsky.social, @laurahudson.bsky.social, @emilianapinna.bsky.social, @purpledraws.bsky.social and @gofrankgo.bsky.social was pretty darn fantastic. Gorgeous art and colors, a couple fun protagonists, and all of the billionaires are depicted realistically (as assholes)

Our heroine Kirby points a finger gun at the camera on the cover of EXPL0IT #1 from @madcavestudios.com.

So, I was laid off by my job this week after 13 years. Not only that, but it happened as bills from my recent heart attack-related medical visits come due. Because of that, I'm doing a big sale for SKTCHD/Off Panel related things, so now's a good time to subscribe if you can...because I need it!

I went to the Skirball Cultural Center to see the amazing Jack Kirby exhibit. I’ve never seen so much of his original art, and is absolutely worth seeing. Bonus: the first piece in the exhibit is the debut of Captain America—punching out Hitler.

Show us the way, teenage girl in New Jersey.

A 16-year-old Oradell high school student pointed out the double standard in objecting to a book “because a boy dresses up in a girl costume,” but not, for example, “‘Captain Underpants,’ a book where a man dresses up in underwear at a school.”

Her question drew clapping and appreciative cheers.

“This may seem like mockery,” the teenager went on, “but in reality, it exposes the true intention of banning this author from coming: discrimination and censorship.”

This is a great story from Rebecca Jennings at Vox on something I go back and forth on: How much of a social media self-promotion is actually necessary? www.vox.com/culture/2024...

vox.com

Everybody has to self-promote now. Nobody wants to.

So you want to be an artist. Do you have to start a TikTok?

After reading an article about the rise of “scammy AI generated book rewrites” in Wired, I looked up whether there was one of my book. There was. And it is SO much worse than I could have imagined.

If you're not already watching, there are 3 great current(ish) shows you should be watching on Apple TV: ▶️For All Mankind, ▶️Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and ▶️Slow Horses. They're all their own flavor of delight + fun, and I recommend them all. Monarch and For All Mankind have finales tomorrow FYI.
