Digby and Dan - Dan Dare: First Contact pencils detail. @alexdecampi.bsky.social @b7comics.bsky.social

You will get AT MINIMUM full in-line edits, w/a MINIMUM 1-2 paragraph overview of any larger issues that need to be covered We can negotiate on 2ndreads (I include a 2nd read just to go 'you're on the right path) if you need more in depth edits Also can negotiate if a chat is more helpful to you

Okay so here's how this will work: - 48hr turn over -I will be editing: *single issue comic script up to 30 pages *Comic pitches from 3 pages up (I don't think I'll be useful for less! *Short Story length prose *Novelette turnover may be slightly longer -Sensitivity reads doable with discussion

i will likely post something more official in a day or two, but i'm interested in doing 48hr turnover single issue/pitch edits ranging from 100-200 depending on the requirements

This is a great thread on legal repercussions of biting dogs and breaking up dog fights. In most states (and definitely mine) if you know that a dog has bitten and you pass it on to someone, even well intentioned and it goes on to bite someone, you can be held criminally and civilly liable.

I’m feeling a way about this because my dog got attacked on a walk today too, by a dog that ran out of its yard and tried to bite him. Luckily Bruce only got scratches. But let me tell you THE most important thing to know about breaking up a dog fight: (1/2) (imma also tell you some legal stuff)

Last: here is a trainer demonstrating what I mean by a hip grab. This is stage two. If they don’t let go of the other dog/animal in surprise when you grab the hips, you can also lift the hips off the ground like this and walk them back. The dog is too busy going “what the fuck?!?!” to keep attacking

Harvey being Harvey, he left his estate a mess. That's the reason the bulk of his work is out of print. It's a ridiculous legal quagmire with no apparent end in sight. If Danielle can sort out some of it and get it to the proper institution, that's certainly something all comicdom should support.

Harvey & Joyce's adopted daughter Danielle is trying to raise funds to deal with Pekar's raw archive; basically four storage lockers full of notes, outlines, ideas, etc. Note this is not Pekar's comics per se. Those rights have been tied up in court for years. Long, ugly story. Worth backing.

if you ever wonder how open secrets about terrible behavior fester in Hollywood and nothing is done, there’s likely no one more qualified than the great @moryan.bsky.social to break it down. Here she is on Jared Leto and Hollywood’s post #MeToo playbook [gift link]:

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

Capital One’s lawyers would not have signed-off on closing Trump’s account unless the money laundering evidence was very strong; it would simply be way too much of a legal/reputational risk

🚨 NEWS: In a new court filing, Capital One says Donald Trump’s accounts were closed in 2021 after months of analysis by its anti-money laundering (AML) professionals, not because of politics, as Trump has long claimed. 1/

I wrote about David Milch's memoir Life's Work - an astonishing book in many ways; written with encroaching dementia on the author's shoulder, it shouldn't exist, but it does, and it provides remarkable insight into creativity & what it's for, why we need it. www.patreon.com/weirdandconf...

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Even ignoring everything else, as well, using an LLM for this kind of thing means that you're relying on an automated summary that might not include some small detail that changes everything you're about to say.

So, ok, a thing about telling yr audience "i use AI for my info gathering/research but then I look over it and fix any errors" is that you unfortunately told me youve outsourced your knowledge base on this subject to the machine, and therefore I have no reason to believe you CAN catch those errors
