I also once drew a 4 page comic the night before class in college. I didn’t get it inked, but the pencils were done. 😩

I had a term paper in high school that was split up over four deadlines. I did each part the night before, skimming my research books, and got a 99.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Screenshot of a post by my mutual Fernando, with a photo of the eviction notice it received today. Post reads:

I recieved another $50. Bringing what I currently have up to $600. Btw I wasn't joking about the AZ care's act allowing landlords to kick renters out without a 30 day notice. Please help me I can't become homeless.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

My dearest Gertrude,

I fear I shall not make it home. This war has ravaged our supplies and broken our will.

We arrived with weapons, purpose, and a directive. Yet at every turn, we are mocked. Belittled.

I have never experienced an insult so great in a war zone

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

#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).

In exciting news, they put in some Citi Bikes right down the street from me. 👀

Although I've heard they're really heavy, so I may still buy a new bike anyway.

Sun roasted potato. 🥔 Photo from my collection, 1954.

A pretty shorthaired calico cat reclining on her side and back in a strong window sunbeam that is baking across a carpeted surface. She is positively glowing in the light and it’s a gorgeous contrast to the stark edge of the sun where the carpet appears to become almost completely black. She’s in a rectangular island of light.
