Just Bruce happy on a swing… You know… before that one bad day.
If you want to read something that actually restores some hope in people, this is it.
Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social · 2mo agoSo, a quick story. I have been at @comicpalooza.bsky.social, been swamped with long lines almost the entire weekend so far, and there was this very nice gentleman named Jin (not sure of the spelling). He came the first day and said he was bringing books the next day to get signed. 1/
My pitch to get more people to read the new Witchblade 😝🥰

Got some new books today! Can’t wait to read them. Or reread in the case of Die: Loaded ☺️
Y'all have no idea how excited I am for a Buffy series written by Kelly Thompson! I'd recommend taking a peek at everything else here, too!

For anyone interested, I just started a petition to get anything created using generative AI disqualified from Eisner Award consideration moving forward. Please consider signing and sharing. www.change.org/no-ai-at-the...
Sign the Petition
No AI At The Eisners

Not sure what the Eisners should do about the current AI predicament they find themselves in, but this petition requesting that guidelines be updated for the future saying any comic using AI will be disqualified from the Eisners seems like a no-brainer. c.org/8N5Ydf8GVS

We have to separate work from the author: books go in the paper bin and author in the organic waste bin.
I want to spend my days writing. I cannot stress enough how boring and meaningless AI is to me. This goes for drawing and painting and making any kind of art too. The process *is* the goal and it’s fun to boot.
"Steve"@sssparkers.bsky.social · 3mo agothis feels like the crux of things, and I don't see it highlighted enough: being creative is fun! i want a machine that does my laundry so i can focus more on making art, not the other way around!!

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 3mo ago“I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Every time I see a video on Instagram that's like, 'Hollywood is cooked,' what follows is, like, the most stupid dog shit I've ever seen in my life…”
Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.
If you're a writer, write "I waited" without saying it. “Each minute made the anxiety creep up my spine.”

Just finished Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh and… Damn this was good. A book that I will reread again and again I am already sure of it.
Reposting this to question again why you ignore bad bunny and Kendrick Lamar and what they have done as artists in order to make this claim As well as Chappell Roan
Julie Roginsky@julieroginsky.bsky.social · 3mo agoWhy is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...
Transphobic superhero fans will never not baffle me, if you've ever read a comic with Firestorm, Negative Man, M or Starhawk you should be pretty comfortable with the singular they/them
