Always irks me when people shit on No Sabo Kids.

We didn’t choose to not learn Spanish growing up. And learning it as an adult is fucking hard.

We have enough of an identity crisis without you shitting on us.

Be better.

Hoping/praying it sticks the landing. Such a cool concept.

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.

"Can we sell black characters in this political climate?" That is what Ubisoft asked itself and then answered, "No." Which is a skill issue and bigotry on THEIR part because black entertainers are out here selling their wares EVERY DAMN DAY, antiblackness be damned. Our culture MOVES NUMBERS.

I’m one, maybe two chapters away from finishing The Trials of Empire by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social.
The Empire of the Wolf trilogy is being added to my list of favorite fantasy trilogies.
I can’t wait to dive into the next trilogy (book 2 out next year) and the one-shot coming soon!

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

ICE attempted

It needed to be scored.

"The message is that no matter how well a book sells, when a creative team pours their heart and soul into something, people notice."

A massive thank you to @michaelg24.bsky.social and @aiptcomics.com for a 10/10 review for G.A. issue 28. This one means a bit more than most. 💚💚

“They are unquestionably evil, but evil in…a stupid way. You saw them in the Senate, the rubbish they come out with. It is divisive, hateful rhetoric, but I must admit, I have never seen anything motivate the commonfolk so effectively.” - The Trials of Empire by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social
