Sorry, just saw this. In my post I was being ironic; what I meant was to mock the self-aggrandizing "becoming" something that actors do. There is no real comparison between "becoming" a famous person vs a person with a disability. The former is often merely fatuous, but the latter can be offensive.
Tara are you Persian (or Iranian, I'm not sure which term is more correct)? I had to goog these things and now I'm learning cool stuff
Timothee Chalamet "becoming" Bob Dylan is surely the modern version of an actor playing a person with a disability they lack, or Jude Law pretending to have a Southern accent, or whatever
I haven't read Detransition Baby yet, but this interview with Torrey Peters about her new book is CRAMMED with fascinating ideas about gender and presentation. I think I'll have to listen to it 2 or 3 more times because there's so much good stuff one.npr.org/i/1263527057...
Holy shit, Britt
Officially retracting my statement that this is a good show to work to. It's too dull to even overhear accidentally
Having said that, as a work show it's not bad: completely uninteresting visually and barely interesting audibly.
Zero Hour might be the worst use of money in recent memory. Also worst use of Jesse Plemons.

A new version of an older print, for NOICE in Norfolk this weekend. Or order it at store.dharbin.com You've earned it.
Damn how do you always have an answer, you beautiful bastard
@epetmezas.bsky.social Herc! I went looking for that email and sure enough I can find neither hide nor hair, at least not by searching "eraklis" "herc" or "matthews." If you can, would you resend to dusty@dharbin.com?
@jeetheer.bsky.social Jeet you nailed it the time you suggested the Perlstein book when I asked for a good Carter years retrospective. Do you have a similarly great recommendation for the history of the IMF? Especially vis a vis the effects of its policies in the global South,c etc
Ahem, I believe you mean "un4ced"
I think page 100 is right around when Yueh hisses "the TOOOTH" but is right after the punishingly dull (at least on first read) banquet scene
Yesssss. I regularly tell people about Dune in these terms. "Make it to page 100 and then you can bail safely if you're still bored."
redesign of the piece that has gotten me restricted/suspended at least 4 times 😇
A tiny plane way off in the distance, with a caption box saying, "I get into, then out of, a room that moves."
A new comic up at dharbin.com: "A Room Between Rooms" dharbin.com/comics/post....
Yesssssss!! Congrats to you both!!
Alright friends, give up those Substacks. No promises!
every example of how AI could be useful is like “if you were eating cereal, AI could tell you what cereal you were eating”

I had a dream last night that I met @decassette.bsky.social on the street. She was at least 2 feet taller than me, and introduced me to two members of her family, who looked almost exactly like her. All three had short white hair and spoke a language I'd never heard before, laughing often.
I'm listening to Naomi Klein's Doppelganger book and it weirdly is making me want to go watch Naomi Wolfe on Steve Bannon's podcasts.
One thing you can say about Donald Trump... there's a man who has never felt a shiver listening to an MLK speech
Perf. Man, when Sinnott starts inking around issue 41 or so, it's off to the races: Black Panther, Inhumans, Silver Surfer, Galactus. So good, imagine being a kid and that was on the rack at the grocery store
When I worked at Heroes around 1999 or so I went back and read FF in order through 120 or so--VERY good. Also Daredevil, which was surprisingly great (plus had Wally Wood, Gene Colan, other great artists). I bet old Thors would be great in order
Whenever I think of art as product, this clip is just rolling in my head on repeat: youtu.be/Zweuggu9IUQ?...
