The Supreme Court doesn't care if you want to copyright your AI-generated art The highest court in the US declined to review a case about copyrighting artwork created with the help of AI.

And BOOM goes the dynamite. To all the AI Bros who have slid into my mentions to tell me that you CAN in fact copyright AI materials, the Supreme Court has told you to go suck rocks. A prompt is not authorship. And if there is no author, there is no valid copyright.

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

This week on The Iron Barge, still a lot of otter swimming. But, also, legit one of my favorite pages in Book 1. It should be a poster on my wall. @megacarter.bsky.social killed it.

An image of HBO's The Pitt, where Dr. Robbie is cradling a child.

The cover for the 90s comic PITT #3, which features a monster holding a young boy aloft while the title character uh...crouches in the foreground?

The Pitt is a great example of how an adaptation can differ wildly from the source material and still be seen as a quality endeavor when judged on its own merits.

The worm from The Labyrinth

He’s just a worm

The creative line up on this book is amazing. Don't sleep on it.

A digital illustration of Artie, The Strongest Man in the World! (As portrayed by Toby Huss in the TV show The Adventures of Pete and Pete.) He’s a white guy of extremely average build with short hair and heavy-rimmed glasses, wearing a horizontally blue and red-striped long sleeve tee, red sweatpants and black shoes. He’s striking one of his most powerful heroic poses, standing on one foot with the other angled out behind, torso angled forward and back arched, arms held up in a big flex with fists pointing outward, and making a cartoony tough guy face. He’s balanced on a pyramid of 3D lettering colored in bright red, orange, and yellow. Behind him is blue sky and sun rays beaming out from the lettering which reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Reposting for the night crowd.

I found out there was a virtual Rick Steves wine tasting event too late and now I am sad.

A cut above most comic anthos.

Some really bright spots in SYSTEMIC, notably @richardfairgray.bsky.social & @artebuen.bsky.social’s stories.

Pick it up wherever you pick up these sorts of things, and rejoice.

The more @tillybridges.bsky.social and @susanlbridges.bsky.social content in the world- THE BETTER!

People don’t “identify as trans or queer” they ARE those things. Pronouns generally aren’t “preferred” those are just the pronouns of that person. Waffling language leads to thinking these things are optional, not factual.

Issue 33: Voyager Homecoming TPB, the Joy Who Lived, and casting! Stop, hey, what’s that sound? We live in Los Angeles, so… 95% chance it’s a hellspawned leaf-blower.   NEW STUFF Star Trek Voyager: Homecoming’s trade paperback, that collects all five issues in ...

me and @susanlbridges.bsky.social just dropped another writing newsletter on you!

get the deets on all our writing and creative endeavors, what we're working on, and even cat photos! wow

the paid version talks about respecting previous writers AND has our final Homecoming audio commentary!

A pretty great story with clever storytelling, and strong messaging. A blast from the past but also with darker elements this #graphicnovel should be on your list! The awesome team @fanbasepress.bsky.social @thatnormdude.bsky.social

There's a Pokémon that's Lumière?

Probably a good time to amplify this 👀
