Wooo! Go Kalamazoo Whirlygigs! #ksefamily #arseblog #arsenal #upthewhirlygigs

I've completed the UK Comics Creators survey, and if you're involved in comics in the UK, you should too! UKComicsCreators.org.uk

NEW IDSG News Brief: Alleged Kirk Shooter, etc. Who is Tyler Robinson? And, again, who was Charlie Kirk? idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/news-brief-a...

Why are they still banning books in 2025? Graphic novels are seen as a threat because they are so effective. LGBTQ+ is seen as a threat because it undermines the Patriarchy. The Patriarchy has been oppressing women and minorities for centuries, and it needs to be gotten rid of.

I wondered why I was feeling so awful…

A true story of #AI gone wild (specifically the "PhD-level" #ChatGPT5) in a #digitalhumanities project focused on #comics. Hallucinations? ✔ Inability to count? ✔ Mis-attribution of data from one area of a text to another? ✔ Read it to laugh at the specifics and to weep for its wider implications.

This is brilliant: youtu.be/CIj847pfyTU...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: everything really went to shit when Bowie passed.

Yeah no: Alberta gov't claims to allay school book ban concerns by revising order to clarify that won't apply to a "written passage", just a "visual depiction" – in other words, only graphic novels and manga are targeted. Targeted books for removal include Gender Queer and Fun Home.

Holy shit 😳

Lads, Milan is really, really humid.

So, I've finally gotten around to reading #babysbreath by @russincheshire.bsky.social of the brilliant Torygeddon trilogy fame (which, if you haven't read, you really MUST). Switching from writing non-fiction to creating fiction isn't an easy path, and so I was fascinated to see how he fared...

@ernestopriego.com happy birthday! 🥳🎉

Get in #Arsenal! Brilliant to get 3 points against 12 men!

Some of you might be thinking “but anyone can write nonsense on wikipedia” and they can. But as a society we’ve learned how to deal with that and this importance of a citation. We don’t have that with AI, it makes up citations and big tech want to sell AI contracts before everyone realises this

OH FFS. As if there isn't enough stupidity and right-wing bollocks floating about these days… 🤬

WAKE UP #ARSENAL

1) no it hasn’t 2) all due respect, if you are going to share a press release with no further commentary you might as well do it right from the source

I know there’s still over a week to go, and this is a meaningless friendly, but we don’t look that sharp yet, especially at the back. #Arsenal

Awful news. RIP www.actuabd.com Disparition-d-Ervin-Rustemagic-figure-eminente-de-l-edition-de-bande-dessinee

Norway has increased its Student Grant to more than 14,000 Euros. It is now paying its Students 1.5x more than England, Wales and Northern Ireland are charging them. One of us had our fossil fuel stolen and sold by thieves. The other didn't. Can you guess which is which?

Great thread 👇

Whose stupid idea was it to play the two cloggiest teams in preseason? #Arsenal

Pre-order this book. David is a bonafide comics genius and you need this collection in your life!

Exactly! Come on @dc.com let me do it! Genuine call to any DC writers/editors that people reeeeeeally love my dogs. My daily dogs sketches a day were a big smash & my kid's book about dogs is much-loved. Would be up for a #Krypto #superman comic or strip. #SDCC #comics

I know I’m not the target market, but can I just say that TikTok, and especially its app, sucks so much. Seriously, it’s a virtual dumpster fire.

At my eldest’s graduation (BA Fine Art, Chelsea)… They got a first! So, so proud!

OK! OK! OK! OK! OK! OK! So, just been told I really need new work glasses which is £300+ that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally don't have 😭 So despite time being limited, I'm going to take some commissions to help me see. DM with requests & price.

This is absolutely wonderful! #Comics

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Amen.

Terrible decision by #Arsenal to keep Partey at the club, AND then try to negotiate a new deal with all this in the background. Man alive, not only are the optics really fucking bad, but the situation shows the safeguarding at the club is ignored if the player is "doing the business on the pitch".

In an age of failing economies and a neofascist backlash, what we need is Marxism. To free ourselves from our technofeudal overlords, we must think like Karl Marx. The corporations are asset-stripping our brains, but we can take back control. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm (obviously) not a Liverpool fan, but I'm stunned by the news of Diogo Jota's passing. RIP

Oh, this is terrible news. RIP

A reminder that Frazer Brown is a fraud who has yet to print the actual books, pay of £30K+ to charities & (in reality) failed to lived up to the promises made to creators & backers of Tales From The Quarantine #TFTQ 🚩Stay clear of all engagement🚩

Is anybody else getting a “There was an issue contacting the server” error when trying to pin feeds? #blueskyhelp

You also know it’s going to be a very good day when the latest issue of The Comics Journal lands on your doormat! Cc @comicsjournal.bsky.social @the_comics_journal_ #comics

Oi, publishers! Give David work. You know it makes sense!

It’s always a good day when the latest issue of Les Cahiers de la BD lands on my doormat… #comics #lescahiersdelabd

After a five year absence from The Comic Journal, an essay by me appears there today. It‘s on a Chris Ware New Yorker cover — and I talk about form, design, narrative, technology, attention, objects . . . www.tcj.com/chris-wares-...

This is a test of my new feed, Essential Comics People…

I’ve just finished watching Adam Curtis’ riveting new series Shifty. It’s the most depressing thing I’ve watched since Threads.

I knew this would come back to bite me on the arse 🤣😬😱
