edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

Working on PR for yourself is a good test of personality disorders - I would be terrified of someone who could do it without any queasy feelings.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

I'll repeat this until the LLMs bubble finally bursts: We were told NFTs were "the future" "here to stay" and "inevitable"

Where's that market now.

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

How could a straight-to-series greenlight go so wrong for the first TV series I ever created?! Today, the 5AM StoryTalk Podcast brings you Part 1 of a four-part Hollywood horror story I describe as a cautionary tale for screenwriters about what can happen when all your dreams come true.

Look, I don’t know what is going on. I pulled my books from my publisher a month ago, but Down and Out Books have now announced they are shuttering the doors, and my books are STILL available as of this morning?
All I’m saying is I better get paid.

These books are still available for purchase for some reason, and yes I appreciate every sale, but please know that every book I’ve sold this last month I will not be paid for. ‘No further payments will be issued’ I’m told. I choose to laugh instead of scream, but still, fuck me.

When I say Gavin Newsom is not a democrat and is a transphobe, this is why. He criminalizes poverty and makes life harder for trans people.

The state legislature approved these measures representing the will of the people, and he's instead posting memes and waxing poetic on conservative podcasts. 🤦‍♀️

Hate that it has come to this, but the @latimes.com has left its staff hanging with years of bad faith bargaining.

I’d much rather be focused on doing critical reporting for you all in times like these, but since The Times can’t get serious at the table, I’m voting yes.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

One of my favorite film discoveries of 2025. Incredible. A crisscrossing web of kink and terror, all cradled within a hothouse city seemingly always descending deeper and deeper into a fever of faceless bodies all lithe and leatherclad.
