After his funeral the kids he taught to operate his Victorian letterpress helped each of the mourners ink up and print a tribute to him.

I was talking to a college student today about the passing of the matryoshka doll from Grant Morrison and Rebis to Rachel Pollack and Kate Godwin to me and Galaxy and how much that means to me as someone who was a teenager who read those old DOOM PATROL comics and realized she wasn't alone.

One of the cool things about DC are the legacy characters. Characters who are connected not necessarily by family or circumstance, but by a shared history and view point. A line of creators who inspired the next, each a part of the larger story.

Panels from DOOM PATROL (Vol2) #23, by Grant Morrison, Richard Case, Scott Hanna, Daniel Vozzo, and John Workman. The first panel is a closeup of nonbinary character Rebis. Rebis: THE DOLLS ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL, DAN. I'D LIKE TO TAKE ONE AWAY WITH ME. The last panel is a close up of a matryoshka doll. Rebis: THAT'S IF YOU DON'T MIND.

‼️ACTION ALERT: The Senate Commerce Committee is holding “kids safety” circus again, this time considering both KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) & SCREEN Act, two of the most dangerous censorship & age verification bills on the table! CALL YOUR LAWMAKERS & TELL THEM TO OPPOSE 📲 248-331-8665

The image is a graphic poster with a vibrant red background and contrasting dark purple text. At the top, it contains the message: “Senate Commerce Committee is taking up KOSA + SCREEN Act THIS WEDNESDAY” in bold white letters. Below this, in a larger, informal handwriting-style font is the phrase “TAKE ACTION” in yellow. At the bottom of the image is a phone number, “248-331-8665,” displayed inside a rounded rectangle in dark purple. The overall layout is eye-catching and designed to attract attention to the call for action regarding legislation.

There are white folk out there gleefully saying they use ai in research but not in prose and they don’t get pushback But let a new black writer write anything… This is about white folks thinking Black people aren’t intelligent, i need you to understand this

I'm just gonna say: it somewhat baffles me that people who are understandably skeptical of opaque LLMs as legitimate sources of information will suddenly go full on "the computer KNOWS" when they are using opaque tools to "detect" AI. The computer does not know.

Susanna Kearsley@susannakearsley.bsky.social · 24h ago

❤️ Gillian Green, publisher at Tor Bramble, told The Bookseller: “HM Wolfe has confirmed that Daggermouth was written entirely without AI. We stand behind our author, and we do not recognise third-party AI detection tools as a fair or reliable measure of authenticity when used on their own.”

This needs quite a bit of signatures and you can just be a comic reader to sign it. You ever read Hellboy and want to help the next generation of creators make their Hellboy, this is the kinda stuff we got to do to ensure that. Sick of seeing corp mindsets destroy creative life’s into nothingness

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

Addendum: Please note that while the values in the image and thus the height/width of the arc are accurate, the shape is simplified as I did not have access to the precise acceleration data. Below is the true arc shape using that data, which is skewed to the left. I hope this is acceptable!

In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, green trampolines make Mario jump so high he goes offscreen for 6 seconds. By extracting his position values from the code, we can "zoom out" the stage and visualize his actual arc, which reveals just how absurdly high the jump is.

Jump Height: 1186 pixels (5 vertical screens) Jump Distance: 900 pixels (3.5 horizontal screens) Jump Duration: 360 frames (6 seconds) Source: info: Jdaster64, supermariofiles.wordpress.com

the cops are a social construct. "being arrested" is a social construct. allowing armed terrorists to abduct you and take you to a second location is a social contract, unnatural and not made in good faith, that you have no obligation as a free human being to satisfy or tolerate

Lady Pink was born in the Andes and her mom was born in the Amazon rainforest. She was the only girl in Basquiat's art circle. Only 17, making art, and hanging with Basquiat and Bowie... NYC grafitti police have been harassing her and her husband, so she had to leave NYC. Leave Lady Pink alone!!!

A hell of a flex. “At 17, I was going to parties with Andy Warhol at some rich person’s house and hobnobbing with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. I didn’t even have time for my senior year of high school, because I was exhibiting and traveling the world..” news.artnet.com/art-world/la...
