One of the crimes of AI has been the destruction of the beautiful "my nephew made this logo for me on his computer!" energy from all the hyper-local plumbers and taco shops. AI slop on white work vans is a crime against humanity.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

The book is also just a beautiful object and you can tell that so much care went into crafting it.

Finally got to sit down with this beautiful book by Qu from @bulgilhanpress.com. Full of gorgeous and fun comics suffused with light and drawing quiet attention to small and universal human moments. I've been in a drawing slump and this book made me want to draw again! ✨

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

a movie poster styler illustration for Revolutionary Girl Utena. Utena and Anthy stand side by side, their arms intertwine upwards as they hold aloft the sword of Dios together. they stand on a large bed of thorns and roses as they seemingly burst through the bramble. a soft blue beam of light centers around the sword, as the title "Revolutionary Girl Utena" is written in the upper middle of the image. the creators Chiho Saito and Be-Papas are credited in the top right and left corners respectively.

I Would Have Followed You: Masculine Love and Devotion in Jackson’s Lord of the Rings In December of 2003, Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens’ Return of the Kingβ€”the third and final film in their trilogy adapting J. R. R. Tolkien’s beloved fantasy epic Lord of the Rings—…

Capping off this year's viewing of the Lord of the Rings by rereading "I Would Have Followed You," @scumbelievable.bsky.social's aching tribute to the trilogy's unburied vein of homosocial affection.

Fieldmouse has under 48hrs and only needs less than $1k to make this book happen. I'm so excited and hope they hit their goal. ALSO I'm directly sharing their proof image from the kickstarter page because COME ONNNN look at that exquisite cover.

Okay, set the scene:
It's early morning, the sunlight is coming through, you have your drink and breakfast, and it's a peaceful kind of quiet.

Now all you need is this book because it is such a lovely, slow and easy read. And a beautiful reminder to appreciate the simpler things in life.

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friendβ€”adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.

All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good.

Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output.
Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity.
Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention
