I've been so busy just keeping myself together and pushing forward during this difficult time in my life that I didn't even notice how time has flied. Five years ago this week, I started working on what is one of the most important projects of my life. Hope to have your support once it's done.

Daicon IV was legendary, but it's Daicon V that set the stage for something truly amazing. I'm looking forward to sharing the full scoop in detail later this year, but I'll need some support along the way to get there.

I'm very thankful for my local comics community in the Detroit area. Shout out Hamtramck. 📸 Matt Feazell

I love seeing a wide spectrum of comics being represented like this because it's a community made up of so many different people, backgrounds, styles, focuses, and more, but ALL COMICS. Read More Comics! Make More Comics! Be More Comics!

Ok... I have some serious questions, but I'll try to stick to just one: Who here knows if these Nancy and Peanuts comics were actually drawn by Ernie Bushmiller and Charles Schulz?

Refreshing and inspiring 🎨🎹🎬✨ youtu.be/ucRulNQsuYQ?...

For the diehard manga and anime heads, do any of you by chance have more information about this mini documentary from Nippon Television Network about Osamu Tezuka (手塚治虫), with Tezuka played by Japanese rakugo comedian Shota Shunputei (春風亭 昇太)? The video "手塚治虫　春風亭昇太が演じる" was taken down on Youtube.

Got a fun book for Christmas that I doubt many people knew existed (format wise), which I only became aware of by chance when visiting a library. I have so many versions of this story now because of...

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

1/3 Massive efforts are being done to ensure states do not regulate GenAI. Regulations like CA’s AB-412. A transparency bill that terrifies Big Tech! On Dec. 8th, there is a major hearing on this bill. We need as many folks to show up! Come join in support of creatives! Rsvp link in thread!

Do artists, musicians, writers, etc. still live in the San Francisco or San Jose area of California? Do you know them? Make sure they know about this hearing and see if they can help spread the word.

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not. The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose? Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming? I doubt it.

#AB412 received overwhelming support. Because countless orgs & individuals spoke up, we secured a special legislative hearing to keep moving the ball forward for this bill. Hearing is being held in the heart of Silicon Valley, SHOW UP! We need EVERYONE there #CreateDontScrape #SupportHumanArtists

Attention anyone in the San Fransisco or San Jose areas, PLEASE show up to support this hearing! If you know someone from the San Fransisco or San Jose that is anti-Ai, tag them or share the original post with them directly. Please help raise awareness so we can fight back! #NoAi #AB412 🚫🤖

Here is the Adobe CC plans monthly price breakdown for 12 months: Creative Cloud Standard = $659.88 Creative Cloud Pro = $839.88 That means you pay $240 more for monthly CC Pro vs prepaid annual CC Standard. 🤦‍♂️🫤 Here is more info about CC Standard vs CC Pro 📋🔍 helpx.adobe.com/creative-clo...

I mean... if you are using Adobe you already are being exploited by predatory business practices, so I guess warn them about WORSE predatory practices, I guess?

Attention Adobe users! 👀⚠️ It was recently confirmed that Adobe's Black Friday sale only applies for their Ai slop Creative Cloud Pro plan, not Creative Cloud Standard. 🤔🔍 Please help raise awareness so that people who still rely on Adobe don't get exploited by predatory business practices. 🚫🤖

Microsoft is now warning investors about the pushback against its massive data centers. The tech giant's latest earnings reports says: “We also face community opposition, local moratoriums and hyper-local dissent that may impede or delay infrastructure development."

DTE found its way to a loophole in the 2023 Clean Energy law that requires them to get to 100% renewable energy by 2040. Now they want to green light the project that would allow them to bypass that law WITHOUT PUBLIC HEARINGS. Nope. DTE, show your work.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level. We must stop this takeover before it's too late.

Matt Feazell is a mini comics staple in Metro Detroit since 1980 (possibly longer), specifically hailing from good ol' Hamtramck, Michigan. #HaveADay

Looks like the word is getting out there. Thank you @phnxprodscomics.bsky.social 🙏 #MiyazakiMoebius 🇯🇵🇫🇷📚

This one whets your appetite for a fantastic comic to come! youtube.com/shorts/nlsPW...

I'm disappointed seeing @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social promoting a pro-Ai book. For all the talk of book bans, this is incredibly short sighted on how generative Ai negatively impacts writers, artists, musicians, and people in general. We should demand better from the ALA. #NoAi

Where I post from

DTE is teaming up with big AI to raid Michiganders’ wallets, jacking up utility bills so billionaires can power a massive data center that will suck up 25% more power than DTE customers already use.  Tell me, how does this help the rest of us? www.mlive.com/news/2025/10...
