"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI. AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.

The newest episode Garden State'd is up! It was edited by @wynf.co.uk and the cover art is by @krisdobbinsart.bsky.social ! Check out your favorite #OnePiece and #TheSimpsons podcast! www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4P3...

I made it back pretty late and the meds they gave me made me sleep late, but I’m still $100 away from being able to cover the room for today. Anything helps!

What Presidents could get through an Air Force One (1997 film) situation? George Washington? Freaked out by a plane but would get the assignment.

William Howard Taft was the 27th U.S. president and later the 10th chief justice, the only American to hold both roles. Born in 1857, he rose through judicial and administrative posts, shaping law and government with steady, pragmatic leadership.

I keep seeing fantastic writers with substacks and it's terribly tempting to check out the platform, but this incident from three years ago is why I never do.

Seen several friends react to this and I share the initial snap reaction, but I find myself compelled to go further in on it for people who might not know. Professional wrestling and by extension, professional wrestling fans are not who you think they are. And in Mr. Takei's case, they're his fans.

Worth noting: literally any US born politician could get some of that Mamdani glow by siding with people over billionaires every single time. Just love your neighbors more than money and fight for them relentlessly! (And have years of coalition building and great communication skills, etc.)

Hello, people of bluesky, if you are just joining us—here is an old comic I made about Dracula

Blackout Poetry guy posted and blacked out the fact that the initial post was a joke including the part where the delay is part of the reason. F that.

Yeah it's moving day... To a bigger house!

I have multiple really important doctors appointments I have to take my gf to starting very early in the morning, so for now I’m just trying to get $150 so that I can cover the room tomorrow before before we have to head out. Anything helps!

Humbled to have the opportunity to talk to @katmabu.bsky.social about One Piece, politics and the importance of fiction during these dark times. She's an incredibly inspiring figure, and we need more politicians like her (not just because she's a One Piece fan). Now I just need to read Red Rising.

My review of MacFuddy"s Pepper Elixir

Bumping this again because I need to get $150 to cover today if at all humanly possible. Any dollar helps!

AT&T turned off my Internet they day before they were supposed to, because nothing says "we have a great network" more than being able to do shit all to control it.

Relaunched my Patreon to help cover bills and afford to keep making Swan Boys. Swan Boy is -and will always be- a free comic but now you can get access to comics a day early, as well as behind the scenes art and bonus content. www.patreon.com/bransonreese

Put immediately in mind of: “Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

Thinking about the time Gene Simmons' son got caught tracing manga and the mangaka who were traced were interviewed and we like "what the hell? That's dumb." I also remember a customer coming into the comic shop three months after the story looking for it to resell it.

What a time what a time what a mighty good time

A quick note: if u find yourself face-to-face with a Mattress Firm ad starring my lovable memepooch, know that it was a legit licensing agreement and it's all on the up and up. Thank you!

"the vast majority of you won't have to worry about this" I don't even fucking care if it turns out it's only three people that have to worry about this, it shouldn't be implemented, period. Keep cancelling your Nitro, they're clearly noticing

Time for the Pekoms Discourse!

Kinda feels important to know that ReedPOP's parent company has ties to ICE. There's some things we can do in the comics community to make our voices heard. 1/3 Open letter from BookCon authors: reactormag.com/authors-open... Check the RELX, LexisNexis, and ReedPOP ties yourself: www.relx.com

It's been just over a year since leaving Dark Horse and I've grown a lot as a freelance editor. I'm really eager to get back to editing more comics and graphic novels this year, especially for authors in the indie space. If you are crowdfunding or self-publishing please reach out for a chat!

Please don’t forget about us and our neighbors! standwithminnesota.com

Look, I'm not doing it, regardless, but this feels like a "cart before the horses" type of deal...

10/10 response no notes

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Ironic, as this was the magazine that referred to Pokémon as a "pestilential Ponzi scheme" in 1999, characterising its creator Satoshi Tajiri as a literal monster "His eyes are bloodshot; dark circles ripple beneath them... His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.

Christopher Nolan is clearly a massive 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU (1999) fan.

It looks like Peacock ads are automatically added in for older shows like 30 Rock and it seems to be waiting for scene changes so most of the cut away and flashback gags turn into commercials

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

WELP

How did I not know this? I didn't know AEW wrestler Brody King is doing a fundraiser for Mpls families affected by ICE. By selling variant comics covers. With comics artist Daniel Warren Johnson. Who is a fellow Chicagoan? And has raised $58K so far and is still going! headlockedcomic.bigcartel.com

big bill shakes is goated. sorry but i will never entertain the argument that he’s overrated. to write something like this and have it ring with such tremendous clarity four centuries later would be incredible if he pulled it off once but he did it dozens of times

Anyway, you want to hire me because you heard my workrate

I reference this image like once a month now when I cook.

Yes this is really crucial shit

Hell yeah

I know it’s annoying that I constantly ask people to sub, but subbing makes a huge difference. @aftermath.site has around 5,000 paying subs right now; most of us still work other jobs on the side. we have over 90k bluesky followers. if a fraction subscribed, it would literally change our lives

If your child is burning billions of dollars, wasting tons of electricity, polluting the water, and stealing from everyone - you cut off your failson
