Sorry, I meant @mrtylercrook.bsky.social!

Bravo to @oni-press.bsky.social @tylerboss.bsky.social and Christopher Cantwell for this amazing story!

Everything Dead and Dying from @imagecomics.com, @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social and @tatebrombal.bsky.social is one of the best comic reads of the year. My @thecomicon.bsky.social review

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I'm happy, you're happy!

I'm unboxing @wizkids.bsky.social Monster Manual minis and finding some real treasures in these boosters.

My weird little channel is making me happy, and it would be rad if you gave it a follow or shared it around. The world sucks right now, and we could all use some joy.

@smithyman.bsky.social says "It may be that the writing has tightened, and we care a little more about the characters. Or it may be that we like seeing them picked off one by one."
