Maybe there are better movies, but I love these and consider each one so perfect that if they were more perfect they wouldn't be quite as good. Side note, can't wait to share some of the art I've been doing for @thelabpress.bsky.social!

Singlings (elves) which fits the pattern as well as Wholelings, in D&D are roughly the same size as Wholelings, and love to sing!

Rando thought. "AI" writing is a computer trying to say exactly what humans have already said. Great writers say what we're NOT talking about, yet.

Y’know the Trump lawyers’ court claim that Trump can’t be criminally charged if he’d ordered Seal Team 6 to assassinate political opponents? Justice Sotomayor’s dissent warns the July 1 decision lets presidents do exactly that.

If your magic tech tale of the Blogging Age continues up to the present day, guessing we'll see tech CEO sociopaths on stage claiming their Daemons have achieved sentience? They really really have not, but damn are they good at stealing stuff from sentients.

It almost looks like an Alex Toth in the finish. Side note, also a lot more leg and side and under boob than the pencils.

Is me. But there aren't a lot of social media I like. I want long rants & conversations by folks with way more expertise than me. Most latter day sites are about algorithmic feeds, or arguing randos.

F*** the Supreme Court. Yesterday they placed the President beyond the reach of the law. Vote for candidates ready to fix what they broke. Donate. Volunteer. Honestly, it will take decades.

My thoughts on last night's debate, longform past BSky's 300 character limit. TLDR: Biden needed to show focus & energy, and failed. Trump: "I did not sleep with a porn star." If you want swing voters to believe you, don't lie about the stuff they already know. Repeatedly. Links in comments.

Dr Seuss's The Sneetches is the best explainer for changing fashions. Who are you trying NOT to look like? US's Gen Y/ Millennials are Star Bellied Sneetches, and Gen Z are spending what little cash they have to remove the stars from their bellies. So Millennials removed their stars too...

I love this vignette from a 1996 paper from Prof. Bucholtz. She established that being a nerd wasn’t just being rejected by cool kids. It was kids rejecting the toxic behavior of the cool kids and making their own, hopefully better, social norms. web.stanford.edu/~eckert/Cour...

The key phrase from Adobe I keep seeing is "Adobe would not use user generated content to train its Firefly AI model." That means they are, right now, able to use our art to train a DIFFERENTLY NAMED AI models. At Adobe, or licensed to another company. Just as long as it's not called Firefly.

The intensely yellow light creates a lavender highlight on this deep purple Xmas bulb. For a Batgirl of Burnside Copic sketch. I keep a box of various colors of Xmas bulbs in my studio. For unusual light colors you can just Google the color on your smartphone and use that as a light.

Readers might expect me, as a comics artist, to give some background on the whole "Writer vs Artists" beef. But I'm not gonnna put in a background just because something a writer wrote demands a background. Or feet, don't get me started on writers asking for FEET in a story. NOT MY JOB, KIERON!!!

I notice I wrote "writer vs artists" which implies folks are throwing one writer into a pit to fight against multiple artists, which is going to be messy.

The hardest thing about being a writer in comics is having to write something new and vaguely funny to post every time the writer vs artists discourse rolls around.

Is there an active way an American citizen can help make things better in Sudan? I try to read up on the situation, but just obsessively following a war is misery porn. You can see why folks look away. Obv support NGOs there? Which? A policy I can ask my US senators & congressional rep to take?

Last night, I went with a friend to see #TheFallGuy, which is about Ryan Gosling's dream girl being a woman named Jody who sings karaoke, tells character-driven sci-fi stories, does panels at San Diego Comic-Con, and wears hats.
Clearly this is the best movie ever made.
