Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it a million times: if you hate a book you have the option to not pick it up.

No one is pointing a gun to your head and forcing you to read it. Stop being a little bitch and actually seek out comics you love instead of harassing creators.

Hey so, I don't care whether you like the new stuff coming out from Marvel. Have your opinions sure, but as soon as you start asking for writer's social media to send them hate, fucking REEVALUATE yourself.

Also, to put it in shorter words:
Fuck you, grow up.

People talk about how omnipresent and global US culture is, but MST3k is a good reminder that there's a huge, huge substrate of TV shows and music and companies and products that are apparently intimately familiar to Americans but never left their shores.

James Hickson @misterhickson.bsky.social · 19h

Did it ever feel to you like MST3K was imparting secret knowledge? Did you ever look at your classmates and say,
"Wait..do all of you seriously not know who Ernest Borgnine is!?"

Stop giving these Twitter morons power.

Like, just look at the accounts of the people screaming at you, they do nothing but that.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I'm not a Biblical scholar, but if I'm reading Matthew 25 right, Jesus says that Rubio, Trump, Musk, and all their helpers are all going to hell.

Matthew 25:41-46, NIV

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

If there’s one comic I recommend picking up this week, its Marian Heretic. You get a great badass story about a nun fighting witches, and a story that digs deep into the weaponization of faith - which feels ESPECIALLY poignant nowadays.

AIPT @aiptcomics.com · 1d

"Marian Heretic #1 isn't just a bloody, badass horror comic. It also offers meditations on faith, and how it can be weaponized against others or take different forms."

Read @cjwritesstuff.bsky.social's review:

‘Marian Heretic’ #1 explores the things we do in the name of faith

Tini Howard and Joe Jaro have a hell of a concept here, if you'll pardon the pun.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”
