Those pushing AI written work fundamentally misunderstand the value and point of writing.
Writing can’t “optimize” for word patterns or “token frequency”—writing is about experimentation, externalizing inward experience, and making connections, writer-to-reader.

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
"You underestimate my power!"
"Don't try it..!"
All those T-Rex ones are just saying the name of the only dino they remember. The correct answer is obviously some sort of ankylosaur, so its omission from the list undoubtedly confused a number of respondents.
Nightglider was awesome, one of my favorites from a year that includes Megatron as a freakin' dragon. It's a flying squirrel that turns into Batman! Great colors, imminently poseable, cool sword. Top notch figure.
Is that drawing in a next generation of fans, though? I know some fellow olds who've bought them, but I've not heard that Cyberworld is doing gangbusters with kids, or that Wild King has swept Japan.🤷♂️
Roblox, I guess?
Our favorite medium keeps getting older and deader -- I'm not entirely convinced there's gonna be a next generation of fans.😅
I totally loved Kay Vess... I keep hoping she'll get a cameo in some Mandalorian thing. Even just being panned over, sitting in a Sabacc parlor or something.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for
A McDonald’s where the sign has been reduced to McDo.
There is no McTry.
Clearly you and Pedro Pascal are working together, orchestrating a Chilean takeover of Star Wars!
After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X.
This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5)

Or, like, a criminal called, "Greedo" or big villains with names like, "Vader," or "Maul," or "Sidious". We need a return to serious sci-fi names, like "Lott Dod".😄
My favorite bit of diagetic Star Wars music. After the Starcruiser experience, I walked around humming this song for months.😅
My favourite unlikely theory about the marvel universe is that Galactus is actually Reed Richards. I'll admit, that's a big stretch.
It was so great! It gave us Madisynn! And Mister Immortal!
Honestly, I could watch way more MCU courtroom shenanigans.
Fake. Does not show the turtles.
I think it's also that people only think about the government's involvement when you talk about free trade. In the US, especially, our government has abdicated its responsibility of keeping already-wealthy forces from restraining trade, so now people just picture 'free trade' as larger oligarchy.

Just watching Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, and @imkeithdavid.bsky.social is a national treasure -- he's amazing in every role, and has some of the best comedic delivery in Hollywood.😄
As an owner of the Collectors Edition, it bums me out that the CD is still exclusive. A lot of the music was brilliant and I wish it were available for streaming on Spotify/Amazon/etc.
(Especially the Balmorra themes -- some of Star Wars's best music!)
Grift.🤷♂️
As a kid, I had many grand Star Wars adventures involving those two on the right, so I wholeheartedly agree!
Did you ever get any farther with this? How did it go?
I think ONLY monkeys should own copyrights, which would of course be limited to the life of the monkey plus ten years. Every major work would have one confusing part that would be "the monkey bit" to secure authorship. Disney would have to care for billion dollar monkeys securing their rights...
I loved your IDW Transformers work! That panel with Arcee and Aileron is a classic.
Is that alot?
It always amazes me that a bunch of techbros saw longtime punchline Clippy and somehow managed to convince a bunch of people to give them insane amounts of money based on the idea that everyone wanted more expensive, more intrusive versions of it.
