These classic lessons from "Basic Training" in #WizardMagazine helped thousands of artist improve their comic book art.

These were a big influence on #comicbookschool.

A digital illustration of two Peking opera performers on stage wearing intricately detailed outfits. They delicately touch hands, their expressions soft. At the top is a pink banner that says "We've Always Been Here: a queer historical zine" and at the bottom is a red banner that says "2 days until launch!"

They're remote control robot (not autonomous) that scans everyone's face and they sell the data for recurring income or hand it to police when necessary. You also have your face scanned when they arrive at drop off. Door Dash recently offered an opt out for these things. Make sure you check it off

I dunno, I think evil is a kind of stupidity. It's the stupidity that teaches us that supporting the powerful at our own expense in the name of fucking over the weak benefits anyone but the powerful. It's always been this way, we've just gotten used to having it wrapped in pretty paper.

What's interesting is that Zaslov as Discovery's man after the Discovery merger, ran the studio into the ground. Acquiring it in full, including CNN and Discovery (the Paramount deal) as opposed to the film/tv division only (Netflix deal) may not be the win they think it is.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio MartΓ­nez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!
