do we think it's good that entire economy is based on the same entities passing money back and forth on speculative investment without anyone making anything that someone outside the loop is buying

Is anyone still afraid of monsters?

Shrimps…that can perform…the Hadouken. Don’t ever tell me science & nature are boring.

Back from the CXC comics fest in Columbus. Great fun as always, despite the collapse of American democracy and all. Thread.

This story is worth a read, but it's so frustrating to see, since I know virtually everyone quoted in it (and the author) and ... there were *lots* of people warning of these coming dangers. Andreessen became a baby about his feelings long before taking offense to the slight from the Biden admin.

No. 5 by Taiyo Matsumoto is a must for every collection, right?

Tech pen, or slight wedge?

New to 2025's Best Comics Drome by @jesselonergan.bsky.social @23rdstbooks.bsky.social A Kirby/Starlin infused creation myth full of warriors & the bitter resentments of humanity. In terms of vision, ambition & sheer love of what comics can be, Drome is a triumph. Lonergan's most impressive work.

The Fall/Autumnal Equinox is TODAY at 2:19 PM EDT. That's the time at which our Sun is directly over the Earth's equator, signaling the start of Northern Hemisphere astronomical fall. The Earth’s northern hemisphere will continue to tilt further from the sun through the Winter Solstice on Dec 21.

Blizzard suing private WoW servers doing Vanilla+ has a real stink of "it's cheaper to settle lawsuits with the victims than to install railings in our factory". They've had so many opportunities to make vintage WoW available to players, and they fuck it up everytime.

Depending on what happens by the time I turn 35, I may just cut my hair and get a "big boy job." Ok. I won't actually cut my hair

And don't forget editorial cartooning is satire, @rollingstone.com and @alfranken.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Set inside a mechanical galaxy, time to read Brass Sun, Volume 1, by Ian Edginton and I.N.J. Culbard!

This is our reality today, people. Since Reagan, it has been Chess vs Checkers, Bringing a knife to a gunfight, The frog in a slowly boiling pot of water. Pick a cliche. This is what we're facing and fighting against: Oligarchs vs. We the People/the Constitution of the United States.

Always sticks out in my mind

what movie do you consider “perfect”?

When people ask me what my ideal heroes are, I point them in the direction of the maroon communities throughout the Americas and several of Jamaicas national heroes. They are the people who have shaped my views on heroism

Here's a fun scene of the lovable cartoon dog Norakuro, the most popular manga character of the 1930s, contemplating testing his Japanese sword on a Chinese civilian in 1938 (yes, the pigs are explicit stand-ins for Chinese people in Norakuro).

Note that in Japan at the time, "Asia" was used like Brits use "Europe," as a synonym for "the Continent." Also the veneration of Japanese swords as symbols of honor and bravery is twisted when you consider that their main use in the 20th century was for murdering captive Chinese civilians and POWs.

Animator, filmmaker, genius. Chick Jones was #botd in 1912.

Août 2026 Un Lapinot science-fiction, enfin !!!

Encore un dessin pour se dérouiller les doigts après 3 heures de scénario

Cooool. This made me chuckle

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

The thing with me is that I am fully aware of everyone's hypocrisy across the world, so I end up focusing on the stuff that is actually positive most of the time, unless I can satirize the awful stuff. And believe me, I never run out of stuff to satirize

I am always fascinated by the ways ideology gets in the way of profits. Because you would think it's a no-brainer that a company that makes their bread and butter off of creativity would be more aware of the potential blowback for silencing a well liked creative to please a widely disliked demagogue

Cool

Yup. And boy are the venomous with their grievances

Damn. Looks like a lot of people were waiting for an off-ramp.

lol they really done fucked it huh?

Behold. Alex Toth at who knows how old. So cool so see he wasn’t always 70.

Don't give me ideas.

Tron costumes after '82 aren't very fun because it again weaponizes the imagination. The '82 film already dealt with that topic and had obviously harmless people in spandex (like accounting software) and converting toys (like frisbees) into instruments of murder

The nicest celebrity i have ever met is myself evertome I look in the mirror.

I think we can all agree that Sophia Loren

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Always brings a smile to my face when I see people actually get what Fujimoto is trying to do with Chainsaw Man in terms of themes and subject matter (outside of some awesome action scenes and monster designs. The series is smarter than a lot of people give it credit for.
