The Moon by George Akiyama is an incredible Giant Robot comic and well worth a read, very short too.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

The reason why billionaires are having all these failsons is not due to genetics, but piss-poor parenting. What a waste of money.

I stayed out of this one because I don’t have the academic’s brain needed to parse Morrison. @deathchrist2000.bsky.social was more than up to the task, though.
Now that you've read both Deadpool/Batman AND Batman/Deadpool, what was your favorite story in the batch?
Morrison’s final farewell to superheroes a slight but fun affair in DC/Marvel’s Batman/Deadpool
When an old enemy asks Batman for help, the Dark Knight and the Merc with a Mouth find themselves in an insane and absurd jungle full of cartoon ninjas, bizarre ruins and a giant typewriter. What evil mastermind lurks behind the scenes? Who could possibly be the wicked puppeteer who pulls the strings and makes them dance? Batman/Deadpool #1 features a main story written by Grant Morrison, drawn by Dan Mora, colored by Alejandro Sánchez and lettered by Todd Klein.

It makes me livid to see smug centrists and journalists mock Bluekyers as snowflakes who fled Twitter to be in a little club. We fled Twitter because it’s an active right wing propaganda apparatus, and that’s not me saying that, it’s the literal goddam owner!

I'm still reeling from IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, Panahi's queasy thriller about how authoritarianism dehumanizes not only through horrible living conditions, but by pushing the persecuted to be the worst versions of themselves in pursuit of something like justice.

This is a hell of a read, and that special kind of essay where I know I would never have had the background knowledge or aptitude to draw the conclusions made, but those conclusions are explained clearly enough that I understand how they were reached.
If that makes sense.
Anyway: it’s good.
