no, but maybe still despair
This is just to say
I have looked on
the works
that were in
the desert
and which
you were probably
thinking
would still stand
Forgive me
they were trunkless
so vast
and so old

Forgive me
they were trunkless
so vast
and so old
Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says

My name is Pagliacci, Clown of Clowns. Look on my works, ye doctors; I despair.
My name is Ozymandias, King Of Kings. You looked on my works. Prepare to die.

the fact that Sandwich Guy is facing this 'wich trial at all is evidence of subpar justice. he is a hero being put through the judicial grinder. i hope the jury wraps up a not guilty verdict without delay or loafing around

From my previous life as a cover artist for comic books. I really miss doing this kind of work. It felt more uniquely "me" than anything else I have done since.

I won't lie, I hate the "Bond is a just a codename" theory. It's an attempt to explain "inconsistencies" that don't need to be explained and also an attempt to inject "realism" into an inherently silly franchise.
It's a movie, guys

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

People keep assuring me that Spider-Man comics have gotten much better since Peter Parker and Mary Jane were broken up, but every time I give them a try it turns out an old supporting character became a Goblin or was possessed by a symbiote and Gwen Stacy is back from the dead and has super powers?
