In my opinion, we would do better with this slightly larger format has a few advantages 1. Shift the narrative. Let our graphic novels be more of a coffee table book vibe 2. Still fits on bookshelves, so you can keep that vibe if you prefer 3. The pictures are bigger. Cannot overstate this

When a comic convention’s ownership/management starts caring more about size & headcount over anything else, comics inevitably lose. The industry can’t compete against film, television, video games, music. Comics become a footnote at the conventions they were founded to celebrate & made successful.

Late to posting but I'm in artist Alley at #ECCC this weekend with an all new issue 4 of #PlasticSouls . Booth F-27! Come say hi!

If you need to read this, soak it in. It's always been this way. We always had to make ourselves. Just some folks had a tougher run of it. Maybe still do. I can only hope they keep fighting for it.

"Balancing this tension through a specific rhythm of images, a flatness of image, and a contortion of anatomy, Ballard demonstrates his capacity to compel his reader visually... Ballard doesn’t tell jokes, he renders them. They are funny–when you see them." - @solrad.bsky.social 👏👏👏👏👏

It’s don’t kill yourself Monday.

DO NOT USE CHAT GPT.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

I’m going to piss on the grave of anyone in my life that voted for this

The Supreme Court's second and final ruling of the day, USPS v. Konan, bars lawsuits against the Postal Service for maliciously and intentionally refusing to deliver someone's mail. It's 5–4, with Gorsuch joining the liberals in dissent. Bad decision! www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Remember when I said NYC Mayor is one of the most powerful executive offices in the country? Honestly a lot of it is this kind of stuff. In many jurisdictions "I'm gonna hire 1000 people for a couple days for $30/hr" would require months hearings and council votes to actually do.

The Toxic Fan Cycle. - What is this? - I like this. - I LOVE this! - I OWN THIS. - I... don't own this??? - ...I hate this. - I WILL DESTROY THIS.

It's actually pretty comparable to all kinds of toxic love. "If I can't have you, no one will." "Reject my needs and desires? I will make your life hell."

Last week at Broken Frontier... Fantagraphics to Publish New Investigative Graphic Journalism on the Plight of Displaced Palestinians in Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco’s ‘Requiem for Gaza’. www.brokenfrontier.com/fantagraphic...

How the fuck is anyone’s takeaway from the last several months “the economy is bad” and not “the government is building concentration camps and subjecting people to wildly inhumane and often homicidal conditions” ???? How can you serve voters if you’re not even able to say that with a full throat?

In my day we didn't have all this autism.

So there's this really obscure Danish fantasy series from the early 00s, that doesn't really have a translation as far as I'm aware that I think about a lot (periodically, but again right now), because the plot goes as follows:

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

This post is going around again so I will add this excellent resource: leavesubstack.com

This is well put. So *many* technologies are joyous and progressive. The web was invented in a PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITY! It is, in fact, an aberration that the fascist VCs think they're the default with their approach to tech. They were only ever supposed to be a tiny fraction of the ecosystem.

You can draw a graphic novel on an electric mirror but sure yeah “the Left hates technology”

Sue who was detained in early December and had her wedding band cut off, is out on patrol near daily and has had them tell her the final warning over 10x.

this a real thing people have to synthesize; there is simply no meaningful "antisemitism on the left" with institutional backing that matches the *actual* antisemitism of the Christian Right, esconced at the highest levels of power nor is it proportionate to the Genocide Palestinians are facing

Hey y'all. A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews. Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

God I hope it goes under so video platforms stop getting flooded. I hope the videoplatforms go under. I hope its just RSS feeds. I hope I live in a cave and I have to travel 5 hours to see the internet.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

"The brilliance of the people in Chicago and the people in Minneapolis: they run towards the whistles, which is a scary thing to do. After two people have been shot, they run towards them and they start recording, and they've made it impossible for the administration to lie about what's happening."

Columbia will never be free of this stain.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

La mafia del COI, que permite a Israel competir en los Juegos, hoy advierte de sanción al ucraniano Vladyslav Heraskevych, si no cambia este casco que lleva las fotos de athletas de Ucrania muertos en la guerra.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

When Texas lawmakers tried to visit 33-year-old “political prisoner” Leqaa Kordia at an ICE facility, she’d already lost 50 pounds and was running a high fever. By Friday, she was hospitalized. But her family still has not been able to locate her. thebarbedwire.com/2026/02/09/l...

First of all: Discord doesn't need to do this, they have some draconian laws they're following in the UK and Australia and *choosing* to adopt this globally.

They're trying to encourage disease to spread throughout the camps and starve people what the fuck does that sound like to you. Seriously if you are still on the incremental bullshit you're supporting more of this. It's evil to do this shit but it's also evil to ignore it

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

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

Turns out the solution to flagging comic book sales was always... write good comics about leftist heroes. I highly recommend all the Absolute books. This is the kind of excellent writing and character work that you normally had to find in Indy comics.
