Nobody is racing to the cashier to buy AI crap. People buy books that they want to commit their time to savor.

Engaging with theft-tech and all the ramifications thereof is unconscionable. It’s an existential threat to the arts and human creativity.

This is not at all breaking news at all and many have pointed out as such but this is also the key reason why many folks will not partake of your Substacks (because it is hosted at THE Nazi bar)

It’s hard to talk about problems in the comics industry without people taking it personally, but the prevalence of Substack is a big one. This is NOT a “vaguepost” about anyone specifically, but it’s not easy to keep seeing good folks keeping a bad platform going.

My weekend so far has been mostly spent sitting by a hospital bed of sorts in a corridor and looks like that’s going to be the same tomorrow too. So Broken Frontier posting may be a bit more limited next week. Sorry! Priorities!

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

The first time I witnessed someone get abducted was Sunday, December 14th, 2025. ICE left behind his wife and an infant child in the car. The family was going to church. "We pulled over, but then they told us they would take us too if we did anything. We have our own baby in the back seat." None of us knew what to do. No one tells you how useless you feel when someone is taken.

The next abduction I witnessed was a couple weeks later. Both times, I hadn't even gotten out of bed yet when I heard the whistles. I was better at responding the second time. There's not a lot you can do except make noise and be annoying. I'm good at being annoying. At this point, being annoying is liable to get you shot or tear gassed or blinded. It is what it is.

Focusing on anything but the occupation has been difficult. That's what I've come to call it now--an occupation. What else do you call a bunch of soldier bullies driving around the streets trying to find people to kidnap? I try to be more present for my friends and neighbors. "Hey, do you have some time to drop off some donations this weekend?" "Yeah, I'll do a Costco run!" "I've got some blankets and coats to donate." "I can come pick them up tomorrow! You guys need anything from the store?"

"Is anyone available to watch the bus stop?" "I can!" [An image of two people at a bus stop. They're both wearing whistles.] A news article clipping: ICE detains 4 Colombia Heights students, including 5- and 10-year-olds sent to Texas. Colombia Heights Public Schools leaders addressed the ICE surge into the district, saying the community is "shattered." And they say they're "catching criminals." Sure.

In the Glassblowers pub in Soho - pictures are Andy Oliver, Nora Goldberg, Owen Pomery and Avery Hill’s Dave White and Ricky Millet.

Went to the @goshcomics.bsky.social launch party for @katrionachapman.bsky.social’s THE PASS from @fantagraphics.bsky.social and managed to take zero photos except for this one in the pub after and Kat’s not even in it! Lovely night though - reminded me of the old London comics Booze Britannia days.
