Some snarky thoughts on last night's Super Bowl ads, at @forbes. www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

Ironic that the potato chip commercial kicked the ass of the Tyson “eat healthy” commercial

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Patriots offense bright to you by the number 3 and the word Out.

Bad Bunny came to play yo!

Did they just bleep Bad Bunny?

Look, I liked the 80s as much as the next guy, but after 40 years, maybe they’re ready to be over?

What's the over/under on how many atrocious Draft Kings spots we will be subjected to?

"The sexual politics of the nameless castle in Salò (or Epstein Island) become the actual politics of society once those people manage to seize the machinery of the state." Some disturbing parallels between life and one of the most shocking films ever made. www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

50 years later, one of the darkest and most shocking movies ever made provides some of the clearest insights into the connections between Epstein, oligarchy and fascism, today at Forbes. www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

It’s about showing people who’s boss. Since they are utterly incapable of earning respect, it is the only actual thing MAGA wants, and it’s the one thing democratic politics can’t offer them.

MAGA clowns, realizing that taking over elite, legitimate institutions does not make them either elite or legitimate, have decided to destroy them. We have met the barbarians and they are us.

Just did an interview with NHK on the impact of AI in the anime industry, including issues around IP, copyright, the Disney deal and more. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/...

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took at university. Politics of International Relations (Brzezinski) Civil War & Reconstruction (Foner) Intro to World Cinema (Sarris) Philosophy of Art (Danto) Asian Humanities & Lit (de Bary) After that, nothing intellectually intimidated me.

Sal Buscema's bold, action-oriented art made him a favorite of fans and editors over a 7-decade career, mostly with #marvel. Obit today on @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

Republican officeholders who think this is going to work out well for them should read some history about what happens to pre-revolutionary factions once the violence starts. Or, they should read the room. We're just about past the last exit.

In the same way we've renamed the Department of Defense to the Department of War, maybe rename the Department of Justice to the Department of Persecution? At least we'd have truth in advertising.

The bigger issue is that every democracy in the world is one election away from their own Trump, albeit one not as senile and sloppy. A lot of people hate the liberal order so much they'll throw away freedom, security and material progress to see it dead.

Today at @icv2.com, thoughts about AI and comics, from the #SDCC artshow kerfuffle to a terrifying webtoon slop machine I saw at #CES to an example of pro artist @dieselfunk.bsky.social trying to use it productively. icv2.com/articles/col...

Techno-thrilled "The Beauty," which debuts tomorrow on FX and Hulu, is phase one of an ambitious comics-to-media strategy from new publisher Ignition Press @ignitionpress.bsky.social Story today at @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

It's getting late early in Seattle

Kudos to #SDCC for listening to fans and pros and reversing the ill-conceived policy around AI in their Art Show. Machines can make images but only humans can make art.

'Dilbert' by #ScottAdams, who died today, perfectly captured the absurdity of the moment in the early 90s when grandiose management theories melded with the emerging high-tech workplace. Then it captured something else. Obit today on @forbes www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

So House Dems are opposed to invading Greenland because it's not sufficiently beneficial for American quality of life? That's the objection? What are we doing here, folks?

At #CES2026, legal experts warned that changes in how AI systems are trained may derail recent gains in getting tech companies to pay for access to copyrighted IP, today at @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

At #CES2026 leaders in entertainment, marketing and creative industries assess the impact of AI over the last year, hoping to put issues of quality, copyrights and impact on creators in the rear view mirror. My latest at @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

Thought #1: US troops in Venezuela means fewer US troops to deploy against 'domestic enemies' in the US. Hooray? Thought #2: Venezuela is where Hegseth sends units with suspect loyalty, so they are safely out of the country when Trumpist forces crack down.

Any pundit, expert or journalist who describes what's going on as remotely normal or rational needs to be permanently disqualified from public discourse.

@mozilla.org how do I disable every scrap of AI in the new Firefox build, which I did not request or opt into? Is there a stable pre-AI build I can roll back to?

I wrapped up the highlights and lowlights of the year in comics industry news today at @icv2.com icv2.com/articles/col...

Some of the best graphic novels of 2025 by less well known creators - a different approach to this year's list on Forbes. @abramscomicarts.bsky.social @helvetiq.bsky.social @dandq.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

For this year's graphic novel list, rather than try to choose a "Best of 2025," I'm spotlighting great work that might have flown under the radar. www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

Wow, #Seahawks new unis look bad on TV. Better than lime green I guess, but not by much. Helmets are nice though.

Hey @futurism.com your story "Liberals are Falling for Extremely Obvious AI Deepfakes" has a typo in the 2nd-to-last pp where the writer says "Democrat party primary." Democratic Party is correct. "Democrat party" is what MAGA people say.

Webtoon announces new programs, resources and residency opportunities to support creators for 2026, in a move to accelerate development of new IPs and built the ecosystem, my latest @forbes.com #webtoon www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

So… we’re just pirates now, straight up?

Anyone else not seeing images in their Bluesky feed (browser based)? I've tried disabling plugins, changing browsers, turning off VPN, etc. Just started happening, not sure what's causing it.

ALERT: Accurate history classes have been cancelled because learning about mistakes from the past might hurt the feelings of the people currently repeating them.

Why DC and its extensive IP library could be an important component in the Netflix deal to acquire Warner Bros - my latest at @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

Interesting story on MAGA's growing opposition to AI. I guess when you build a political movement based on fear, sometimes those fears will be justified. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

More from my conversation with @kodansha.us CEO Alvin Lu, talking about #manga market trends, competition with webtoons, expanding the digital market, and dealing with piracy, today on @icv2.com icv2.com/articles/col...

I’m sure I’m gonna get dragged for this, but I think AI is bad. AI has completely ruined Google search and it’s created a lot more slop that needs to be avoided on the Internet.

Dark days call for Dark Knights! Here's a rundown on the current crop of animated Batmen patrolling the airwaves and streaming services from @warneranimation.bsky.social #Batman #Bafam #AztecBatman #Batwheels www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

One of the most illuminating and encouraging things about MTG’s face turn is that she’s acting like a politician who expects to face voters in a fair election in 2026.
