According to a Flemish folktale, a man was walking his two dogs at night when all of a sudden he saw a cat. He threw a stick at the cat because he suspected the animal was a witch. Five minutes later, he found himself surrounded by hundreds of cats who threw mud at him.

Artwork of six cats staring at something or someone in the night. There's a dog or wolf behind them with bared teeth. Black with yellow eyes. Night.

WHAT A TREASURE! Check this out!

Puckering manuscript is largely in Milton's own hand (copied before his blindness, full of his edits) including Lycidas, Comus, On Time, and - coolest of all - his notes towards his great epic.

Here's how the NYT described it in 1881 (I'll note some stuff after):

My name’s Dave. I’m a cartoonist and I’ve drawn a bunch of stuff here and there. Currently working on my comic Stargazer and being a little too obsessed with drawing the recent Transformers CyberWorld toys.

The GI Joe comic is more mature than the Sunbow show but it's still comparatively chaste when it comes to romance, prolly down to Larry still writing demographically for action figure buying children at the time

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

This is dead on. Monroe was a wonderful actor.

This story, however, is just a ghoulish promise to paste her image into a show that showed you lots of nudity (and CGI dragons). I wonder what the attraction could be…

One of the many things I hate about AI is how it reduces everything to an (superficial) aesthetic. You can't see "Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones," even if (big if) Sora managed to perfectly recreate her, because you're not seeing the choices she'd have made as an actress. There's no substance.

Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies
