the US is doing the empire version of those guys who go spelunking without a plan and wriggle themselves into an inescapable crevice and suffocate

Wholeheartedly agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if using AI actually does erode human cognition the way studies suggest, then it's a feature instead of a bug?

A gray embroidered hat that says “I had my sexual awakening during the critically acclaimed film ALIEN (1979)”

Feels like a good day for my best hat.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

129 Years Later, The First-Ever Sci-Fi Film Has Finally Been Found Considered lost for over a century, Georges Méliès' 'Gugusse and the Automaton' features cinema’s earliest robot.

On Georges Méliès’s re-discovered 1897 sci-fi short, and the enduring anxiety of technological replacement:

Welp I guess there’s no way to earn the votes of young men other than by courting and vocally backing the three fraudulent industries that are absolutely ruining their lives.

Boardwalk Times @ D23 @BoardwalkTimes Pixar CCO Pete Docter asked Hayao Miyazaki, "When do you make changes for you and when do you make changes for the audience?" during the INSIDE OUT 2 press tour. Miyazaki replied, "I never think about the audience." #D23 Two separate photos of Pete Docter and Hayao Miyazaki, respectively.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

My daughter is making me a Marvel character guide for my birthday 🥳. She allowed me a sneak peek of the cover today

MANDATORY TIMELINE CLEANSE

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

It is an existential imperative that we begin a serious global dialogue about how ‘experts’ as the media uses the term, consistently lag behind us laymen when it comes to Knowing Some Bullshit When We See It.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

This book is good and you're a fool if you don't read it.

I'm 28 today and to celebrate I wanted to share this new piece I've been working on ✨

GUESS WHAT? Go on, guess. It's Xena & Callisto again, you may remember them from other such posts of mine like, 'Xena x Callisto,' & the surprise sequel, 'More Xena x Callisto,' plus more. It's the one with Xena standing over Callisto telling her to stay down and Callisto is like, "Gladly <3" y'know, classic Callisto stuff. I added a little background of GREENERY, like the threat of a fern and a whisper of some grass, stuff like that. Plus some peachy pink sky. #myart

Added a background to this Xena/Callisto piece so I could make some nice prints and I think it turned out PEACHY

RIP Baudrillard you would've loved this episode of imperial decline

A six panel comic of a man and a woman where their word balloons are actually other panels (there are no words) indicating future actions and explaining why they did what they did.

a three panel comic about Søren Kierkegaard in which the text of the man reads backwards and the dog forwards "Life can only be understood backwards" and the dog "but it must be lived forwards"

It's that time in my Making comics intro course when I talk image-text relations, which gives me an excuse to share 2 favorite comics that do bewildering things that can only be done in comics! Ibn Al-Rabin's seminal Le Verbe Prophétique alongside the always brilliant @tomgauld.bsky.social. So good!
