The boyfriend and I walked by a tattoo parlor the other day and were looking at the flash tattoos on the wall. One of them was Alfred E Newman as Mr Spock. Now, I can see getting an Alfred E Newman tattoo, and I can see getting a Mr Spock tattoo… but Alfred E Newman AS Mr Spock? That feels weird.

Lichtenstein’s entire oeuvre was offensively shallow and profit-motivated from the jump. His original premise of recontextualizing “low art” was done better, earlier, and with way more joyful subversiveness by Marcel Duchamp, AND he lacked the skill to even render the work he supposedly “elevated.”

Hi, I drew you a comic because I’m trying to draw more comics. While I was working on it, the discourse shifted from iced coffee to COVID conscious lesbian bar, but here’s the comic anyway.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

saw this on Instagram and it so perfectly encapsulated my rage

seravph
being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

I think it's important a lot of you understand many thigns people call "controversies" don't actually exist. They are inventing opposition to things because that's their business model. Nothing can ever be good enough because if there's nothing to be mad about, they lose their audience.
