A few years back, @mikedawson.bsky.social and I had a comics interview podcast, and it was pretty good. We talked to a wide swath of a lot of different kinds of cartoonists, various professionals and critics over the couple years it ran. Here's a 3GB DL of it all: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b31j4...
BEWARE TOMODACHI LIFE I LIVE RUN RUN COWARD I HUNGER
we all know I have no life, so:
Nick is the king of smart, genuinely helpful advice but “everyone who is bad tries to be wrong quickly rather than slowly” is an all-timer insight with tons of practical uses, I think.
I don’t know if I can put the percentage at 100%—I don’t even put my belief I exist that high—but…
The government shot down United Flight 93, and the whole “Let’s Roll” narrative is a hoax and a cover up
-software: I’d make all their stuff actually do what it’s promised to do and consistently
-business: I’d cut the take for in-app purchases from 30% to 3%
-hardware: I don’t want Apple glasses, I want Apple to *find* my glasses—give me teeny air tags I take off and charge daily or something?
For me, it was my absolute certainty my brothers and I were being cheated out of our essential right because we did not have a multi floor clubhouse with cool gadgets and secret exits
Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"
Literally just thinking how talented you are at bringing the nightmare fuel
Exactly one year ago today:
Once again, the bunny is on point:
I'm hiding in honduras, I'm a desperate man
send lawyers, guns, and money
the shit has hit the fan
I was saying basically this to a friend who was getting my hopes up: Disney’s overall cuts seem way more slash & burn, not targeted. Because if they were targeted, you could really save a lot by just shaking the dust off the top. Marvel is downright moribund.
Using LLMs are extremely like using ouija boards for everything from writing your homework or novels or police reports or motions to object to police reports, except they're even worse because instead of asking ghosts you're asking 4chan & Reddit posters from 10 years ago
2026 has not been a banner year for having my prayers answered, but I’m not giving up hope yet
But damn you nailed the makeup and the lenses!
But if your hours then get cut back—as happened to a lot of people I’ve read about, especially at the lower tiers—then you still end up behind?
The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Same, but replace MEN with FILMMAKERS MAKING THE JOAN OF ARC STORY INFUSED WITH THE ESSENCE OF BOORMAN’S EXCALIBUR
(“Gonna do damn proud of myself.” Jesus.)
(No way I fucking nailed that closing parenthesis, but if I did I’m gonna do damn proud of myself.)
(I mean, it worked with the Bee Keeper? But isn’t the point that everyone who fell for that one is now wise to the trick?))
…that the trailer’s maker forgot they were watching an actual exciting movie and so are really going to put the money into the trailer, the movie’s just that good?
(The conspiracy minded among us might think the fact it’s trying to be the trailer for a good movie that needs to look exciting rather than an exciting movie that needs to look good means JS has once again made a good movie, so much so…
Delirious with glee at how hard the marketing team went here: they’re using all the current tricks to make the movie look exciting and it’s like, “uh did you watch the footage? It’s Jason Statham punching a guy in the face with a fish hook! Don’t overegg the pudding!”

“I mean, say what you want about the tenets of organized religion, Dude. At least it’s an ethos!”
fuck @bsky.app for suspending and possibly banning #LexiAlexander, a prominent Palestinian activist and filmmaker along with other Palestinian accounts while letting accounts spew anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian bullshit 'til the cows come home.
