I have a cold.
Meaning I cannot hold my newborn baby girl.
So if you gave it to me?
Fooey on you.

Already listened to this new remix about five times. Going to listen more in these final days of Paldea.
Again, another awesome piece from @glitchxcity.bsky.social and crew!

More than any other artist in the world, I had Drew up on my walls for inspiration and awe
My entire life, including today. He was an incredible Instagram follow. Take some time and go look at his account. It’s a great tribute.

"I’m selling movies, yes. But if I can do it with art, with beauty, in a way that reaches people and touches them... that’s what makes me happy"

Again it works great if you're asking it how many states are in the USA or who was the star of Top Gun. But if the answer is even one inch deep or requires a tiny bit of reading comprehension of the source links, it does the one thing it should never, ever, ever do: It just fucking lies.

I googled a basic question on if a specific household chemical safe to use on a specific surface and it not only hallucinated a fake "no" answer, but made up a fake reason(!) When clicking its source links, you find that info nowhere, and further research proved it was just blatantly wrong.

With the AI Google summaries, people aren't just cherry-picking the failures. The only time it is 100% is when there is an extremely easy and well-known answer to your inquiry. If it's anything you'd actually need to dig to find, it will hallucinate a fake answer basically every time.

"Haha look at this nerdy, bootlicking conformist. That's so cringe, dude, everyone is laughing at you. Nonconformity is what makes you cool, how can you not know that? Everyone is doing it but you. Read the room."

That’s a long winded way of saying they have the reasoning of a 12 year old.

Ape and I finally watched “K-Pop Demon Hunters.”
And you know what?
As far as films that take the cultural zeitgeist by storm, that has resonated with kids, we could do way worse.
It was a ton of fun.

You can't give a peace prize to someone you suspect is always motivated by a profit, a deal. Everything he does, I wonder what's in it for him. Because that's his character, that's who he's shown everyone he is.

Stepping away from serious work for a few weeks...
But look at this little smooshy hand!

i’ll never get over this

I listened to some NPR broadcast where they interviewed someone about why candles are still a billion dollar a year industry.
And its whole premise was that it’s not self-obsolescence technology. They connected it to things like sewing, notebooking, etc.
They can last forever.

I don’t get horror prequels

those who bought POWERS 25 1 discovered a FREE invite to the jinxworld discord which is safe harbor for comic fans/ creators and filled with so many free comics, classes, assignments and the just released full script to powers 25 1 for your enjoyment. Your best damn comics buy! @darkhorse.com

Some of the goodies included in the Kickstarter, including a secret letter you can only open after you read it.

A yellow zine called, “Tales From the Unknown Road.”

Excited to talk about this one because it’s from a classmate. @benjis.stories is an award-winning Australian comics creator, and his latest standalone graphic novel, “The Unknown Road,” is a beautifully illustrated story about loss, redemption, and the chance we all wish we had.

It's true. #AEWDynamite

The last few months have been crazy (ref. Baby, late September) so I haven’t been able to seriously write, seriously pitch, seriously do anything.
And now the thought of picking up a notebook gives me anxiety because it’s been so long.
Guilt.
Which builds because I can’t write which builds because I

The Tron sequel they should have made is one about a computer virus that infects ENCOM’s programs and turns them into mindless monsters, leaving Kevin Flynn as the last sentient program left to fight for the users.

Call it Tron of the Dead.

As someone who has worked with Dis for most of my career, the inconsistency in brand compliance is astounding. I’ve had notes nitpicking the size of Ariel’s waist & yet I still see terrible art approved and published throughout the company.

Disney should be ashamed for letting this slop through.

But then, of course, there's me, deep in baby semi-hermitude, thinking to myself, "I think I want to try making comics with people."

Having a new baby certainly checks you out of the world.
The boys return to school tomorrow, so I can’t be like this forever, but for these eight days it’s certainly been a fun relief.
