Superman offers a pencil to aspiring artists telling them to learn how to draw: "Trust me, it's never as hard as it seems. You're much more talented than you think."

Homelander from TV series The Boys tells "artist" that creativity is all about ideas. He's a fascist and a villain, thus the perfect spokesman for AI as a "creative process."

AI is the weapon of the enemy. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it.

Showing signs of life today. Everything fell apart for the Browns in the second half last week, though, but the Titans aren't the 49ers.

Oh hey friends!

It’s been a while since I updated this so just wanted to check whether there’s anyone new I should add!

it does feel like an intense societal problem that the founder of palantir, the biggest survellience company, thinks like this

Every new word in this sentence is worse than the last

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

The Derangement of the Conservative Mind (Cont'd) Plus: MAGA embraces the bloodlust

"If you do a Google search for 'ICE raid this is what I voted for' you will get a quick sense of how MAGA supporters are celebrating the cruelty of Trump’s deportation regime."

Good @sykescharlie.bsky.social roundup on MAGA sadism here (includes our pod):

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

As anarchists, we reject the idea that judges or politicians should be trusted to determine who belongs in our communities.

This is not a question of how to interpret the Constitution or appoint better judges, but of how to defend each other from the violence of the state.

The Nefarious Nights of Willowweep Manor gets a shout-out: "Some detecting and some world-saving and some heartwarming emotion all on view."

If you post in the popular genre "You're chumps for talking about [bad thing that is happening] instead of [other bad thing that is happening]" I will unfollow you. If you post about A REAL ACTION YOU ARE TAKING AGAINST ANY BAD THING, I will follow you.

I'm trying to start a trend here.

What do these 3 people have in common?

They have all been found to have been illegally appointed by the Trump Administration to positions leading U.S. Attorney’s Offices around the country.

We need real public servants in these jobs, lawful public servants, who are committed to the rule of law.

The onion guy in philosophy class needs to shut the fuck up

I love this one, but there's so many. Tim Duncan has an HOF wing at the Onion

based on my profile pic, you might be surprised by my answer but it's this

What's polarizing about Steven Universe? We've been through that and Adventure Time a few times in this house, and have watched a lot of Scooby-Doo, too.

The people (using the term loosely here) smiling and nodding as Trump goes on that racist ramble.

Nobody involved in this should draw a free breath for the rest of their lives

Charles Norman Shay, Tribal Elder and World War II Hero, Dies at 101

“Charles Norman Shay, who as a 19-year-old medic on D-Day repeatedly saved soldiers from drowning off Omaha Beach, turning them on their backs, dragging them ashore and binding their wounds, died on Wednesday at his home in Thue et Mue, France, near the site of the Normandy invasion. He was 101.”

TIL Maine didn't let Native Americans vote until 1954. This Silver Star recipient was told he couldn't vote after he showed up in uniform.

what the fucking fuck FUCK

We watched DuckTales a few years ago, and would definitely up for that again.

We've gone through Avatar, Korra, every Spider-Man, the '90s X-Men and '97 X-Men sequel...it's nice to have shows we'll both want to sit down and watch.

Robin just finished watching Gravity Falls (third time through) and is watching The Owl House for the second time through--what other series should we check out on Disney+, Netflix or HBO Max?

Patel on J6 arrest: "When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions of legislation, when you attack our nation's Capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life."

Major Issue:

1) What targets did OLC bless as lawful in this make-believe armed conflict? Per some reports it was drugs not passengers.

2) Is DoD actually attacking the targets blessed by the OLC permission slip?
If DoD is attacking people, but OLC only okayed the drugs, that's a problem...

It was the dance and you know it.

And it was while we were all in lockdown that I was really missing him, thinking about what kind of advice and words of comfort he'd have shared on The Comics Reporter about community and the power of stories and family and found families and all of it.

Six years gone already. Covid hit the U.S. a few months later, canceling the 2020 convention season, and I feel like his friends never had a real opportunity to get together and celebrate his life.
