Two comics for #gentlecomicshabit

One is unofficial, and I spent some minutes on it to make sure it worked. The other I did under a minute.

One of our all-time great Weirdo Character Actors; I'd put him up in the lofty heights of Stephen Root-tier in that regard. He's so great in this season of Peacemaker.

Still amazes me that parents thought the really goofy violence in 60's H-B shows was of concern.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

From TV tropes page for the novelization of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood:

"Manchild: Jay Sebring is partial to large bowls of Cap'n Crunch cereal for breakfast and staying in bed late into the morning to watch cartoons. Roman Polanski views many of his other American friends in this way, though he does enjoy their company regardless"

This this and this. They’ve lost all credibility to ever speak on free speech again. That’s bigger than whatever money they got. Next time they complain, we laugh.

I'm a "glass is half-full" kinda guy, so let's look at the upside of the Riyadh Comedy Festival: We never, ever have to even pretend to take any of these "anti-woke" "free speech warriors" seriously, ever again.

New from me at @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

Will Anti-Woke Comedy Recover From the Riyadh Festival?

Any event that includes comedy’s biggest names is going to attract attention — but the Riyadh Comedy Festival, which kicked off on Sept. 26 and continued through Thursday, is disproving the adage that...

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

"The Church was dealing with a lot of corruption, at the time..."

It's *always* dealing with corruption!

Vatican 2 wasn't enough - they need a Vatican 3 and *really* modernize the shit out of everything.

Y'all told these motherfuckers it was OK to let trans people lose their rights. Now they're banking on people letting them abandon everyone who looks vaguely Latino as well as actual immigrants. Who are y'all advocating for moderation gonna abandon next?

I remember how the committee was offended that Bob Dylan was considering not even showing up and didn’t particularly care. They thought he should have been singing their praises, whereas he just shrugged, picked up the award and doesn’t really talk about it.

Is actually literally the fake Nobel Prize. As in, it's not one of the prizes stipulated by Nobel's will.

I remember as a kid, they would have science nerd characters dismiss the Nobel Peace Prize as a lesser award compared to the hard science ones.

Now grown up, I realize:
1) Given how many war criminals have won it, they were sort of right, but not in the way they thought.
2.) Nobel Economics Prize
