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.

I've been very lucky that every time Mike Mignola decides to lean harder into the kind of stories he likes that he thinks might lose his audience, he ends up doing stuff I like even more, to the point that his most recent works almost feel tailored to my tastes.

The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects (20th Anniversary Library Edition). Cover by Mike Mignola with colours by Dave Stewart.

Bowling with Corpses & Other Strange Tales from Lands Unknown. Cover by Mike Mignola with colours by Dave Stewart.

Koshchei the Deathless omnibus edition. Cover by Mike Mignola with colours by Dave Stewart.

Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea. Cover by Jesse Lonergan.

LRT about the Taito photo goes hand in hand with this video by Kurzgesagt, talking about how AI posted by official sources will creep back into the datasets as legit information until it will be impossible to verify what is real and what’s not

Will the physical edition be available again for the future season two slipcase Kickstarter? It's just shipping always ends up being the most expensive part of a campaign, so I'd rather pick up all of season two physically all at once and support digitally only for the singles.

I’ve been trying to figure out John Williams’s Blue Fairy theme from A.I.: Artificial Intelligence for nearly half an hour.

It’s frustrating when you have a theme from a film stuck in your head but can’t remember where it’s from. Especially since those identify song apps only recognise the most obvious primary themes.

I can't imagine anything less comforting than someone using the corpse of a loved one like a puppet to spout empty aphorisms through it's dead mouth.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
