Times Square used to be worth it for one (1) reason: the Virgin Megastore. Now it is worth it for zero (0) reasons

It’s been many years since I walked through Times Square on a fall evening, and I hope that the next time is even more years away

"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it."

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

The funniest thing the Keanu Reeves/Alex Winter production of WAITING FOR GODOT could do is actually cast the role of Godot, and exclusively cast it with people who have previously played Mary in OH, MARY!

And yes, you get taco discounts all over town.

LA Taco is member-supported through memberships and donations. I give, and if you live in LA, you should, too.

Elise Wang @elisewang.bsky.social · 1d

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

@lataco.bsky.social first began as a blog documenting local Mexican cuisine. Now, it’s an essential reporting powerhouse to the city as Trump’s mass deportation plot unfolds.
