So I just saw the news that Tapas might well be shutting down and it got me thinking back to the glory days of webcomics. I read so much indie self-hosted stuff that people had a hard time giving me recommendations - I had usually read it. I love DC/Marvel etc but webcomics have something special.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Honest to fuck, every time I think my opinion of the BBC has hit rock bottom, it gets worse. Not only is Daniel Sandford a disgrace of a journalist, how on earth did that article clear editorial standards? How did it make it to be published? I think I know the answer of course, it makes me rage.

For the Hollow Knight Art Month I failed at joining in during May, but I giggled during this doodle but I thought I would share it. Day 29 - Dream No More #HKAM26

The picture is of a person (a self doodle of Turn Up The Dial) dreaming she had 100% finished the video game Hollow Knight: Silksong, entering 31 entries to Hollow Knight Art month and finishing an unnamed Hollow Knight art month. A doodle of her holding a trophy is in the background. In the bottom right corner is a picture of her waking up, realising it was a dream.
The text says #HKAM26 Dream No More, Turn Up The Dial

I've burned out a bit so I haven't been able to cram in finishing Silksong before Hollow Knight art month. I was hoping to finish the game so I could fully appreciate everyone's art for the challenge. So, instead of speedrunning the game in 3 days, I'm going to try and finish the game FOR hkam :)

Dear Internet, I'm going to say this again. Disabled people are allowed to have money. They're allowed to work, have savings, spend their benefits in their own way, whatever the situation is. We are allowed autonomy and to live. This includes upgrading a damn car. If someone can afford it, why not?

This "conflicting accounts" narrative of the BBC's is a much bigger problem than they seem to think. The huge issue is not false balance - it's that they're NOT reporting the biggest story of today: the fact the US Government is lying about its own forces killing a US citizen.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

A photograph of a kitten with writing saying "show your range as an Artist!"

A digital painting in the style of watercolours and oils, showing a man standing looking concerned. It is Marc Spector from the TV show Moon Knight.

A spirte picture (the design built out of squares) of the statue of a bug, standing and holding a flower. The plinth of the statue says "The True Hero of Hallownest" - it is a joke based on a character from the game Hollow Knight
