Opinion | I Reject Trump’s Random False Rationale Generator

I am here for George Saunders calling this administration β€œdiseased.” His piece in the NYT is very much worth your time. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/o...

Wow. Now that’s a cover!

Down with the omnibus I say. An absurdly ridiculous, expensive and unreadable format.

The "Ah-Ha!" moments don't usually come when I'm writing. They come when I'm staring into space, mind wandering the universe. The guy at the computer is a great editor, but the guy staring into space dreaming? You're lost without him.

The more you surrender to the unconscious, the better it gets.

Love The Red Hand Files. That was quite special, as they all generally are.

ElfQuest Creators Donate $500,000 To Columbia University Comics Archive Wendy and Richard Pini, who previously donated a collection of Elfquest work, are nearly doubling the resources to preserve Columbia University's comic book collections.

This is the most important development in ElfQuest's history. It's one we hope will have impact on comics as an art form long into the future.

I just discovered your account and I am blissfully strolling through. Please keep going. This stuff is important!

But Sandman would have to be a massive evergreen title for DC. I would imagine there is lots of concerned management types muttering in backrooms…

And then we as the β€˜viewer’ feel that spirituality. It’s one of the main reasons you instantly know AI art: it is soulless. People don’t realise the brain/heart/soul combo is a great bullshit detector.

That blog post is….something. The PR team must have had a rough 24 hrs.

Love Kirby, but sometimes I see existential dread in his artwork. Characters screaming at the frightening cosmic immensity of it all.

This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

Reading this at the moment. High erudite and entertaining. The brilliant, lost art of letter writing. We need to return to that!

I didn’t mind the first season. Thought it was ok. But the second season is a real slog. Could not get through it.

That’s a wonderful summation of that first season. It was such a revelation at the time and I’m happy it still holds up all these years later.

Which really coincide with us all being on the β€˜fake’ community of Social Media. People have lost the ability to civilly interact with real people.
