Happy 25th anniversary to MULHOLLAND DRIVE, the best movie of the 21st century if you ask me!

I’m not trying to be snarky about this, but what if Disney and WB treated comics not just as R&D, but as a loss leader, to push their franchises forward, by paying comics creators a competitive professional wage and offering a health care system similar to that available to the film and tv unions…
AIPT@aiptcomics.com · 6d agoWacker says Feige was at the creative summit yesterday. Feige said their job is to be 15 years ahead of the movies. Marvel comics should be the creative engine. We are clearly better when we are leading and not following. #nycc #nycc2026 @stephenwacker.bsky.social #comicsky #marvelcomics
In my new version of MISERY a best selling novelist and his biggest fan become unlikely collaborators on his exciting new mystery thriller!
I think intimately understanding the labour investment involved in an artistic project changes the way you criticize, which is why lazy young people who aren't good at anything yet lean into Cinemasins style pedantry
this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted
treat your body like a data center. consume as much water, art and literature as possible. upset local municipalities with your existence.
Christ, this breaks my heart. Those Force Works issues are unlike any other comics. Read them, and then help Tom out with a few bucks.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

this is 90% of the problem with AI messaging. a bunch of computer touchers were told they were the smartest boys and were compensated in a manner that reflected it. then a huge part of their job was replaced by a beep boop robot (because programming *is* 1s and 0s via language) and they went insane
Robert Komaniecki@komaniecki.bsky.social · last wk.More fuel for the thesis "coders think AI can do everything because AI can code and they can't imagine anything being more difficult than coding"
keep thinking about "personalised" books/art made by AI and remembering James Baldwin's quote "you think your pain and heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read" these AI bros are deliberately doing a psyop on themselves to cauterise their capacity for empathy
You can’t criticize me I already visualized you as the unhelpful zigzag Tetris block and myself as the heroic single line block

minor annoyance, but i'm fucking tired, stop calling it talent like some fairy god gave it to me. I was 8, I wanted to draw better, so I started working at it FOR FORTY FUCKING YEARS> It's skill. It might not be the best skill, but it is still something I practiced. It's not something "blessed"
This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY
we've never had much reason to articulate this before a.i., but a reason we enjoy literature, art, music, etc. is that we know it is one human mind trying to express something fundamentally human and otherwise inexpressible to another human mind
a little savvy political advice for all you democrats running for office out there: you want voters to think you believe different things than the people they hate and blame for everything
Mel Blanc screams are like Greek fire, we lost the technology to make sounds like this
When it comes to civil rights, that slope is a vertical line. You trade away those of your countrymen and you WILL be losing yours. It's only a matter of time.

"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.
