Missed this last month: "Google.org last week announced a $3 million grant to Brooklyn Public Library, New York Public Library, and Queens Public Library to help the systems expand artificial intelligence (AI) literacy programming for staff and the public." Oh, boy.

I know Superman and Lois don't believe in spanking -- but someone needs to smack that sass from their baby's mouth! - Superman #224, Feb 1970 by Robert Kanigher, Curt Swan and George Roussos.

Superman tries to feed Superbaby a spoon full of baby food.

Superbaby screams and disgust.

"Idiot! What are you trying to do? Stuff me with baby food? You try to swallow that goo! I want a sirloin steak! Rare! With french fries... Not soggy, mind you! And a salad with Italian dressing!" and swats Superman's hand away and the baby food splatters on his face.

berkeley making my brain melt, having to ask for permission to cross the street at every intersection is demonic, affect of every person you encounter is as if its their first day on Earth but also smug??

kind of a half-baked thought here but it's a shame criticism as a paid professional discipline has been sidelined by social media because it could point the way forward out of the internet madness-induced problem of writing that's crouched in what the author anticipates a comments section will say

i guess the art i care about the most now is whatever lifelong projects still seem coherent as everything/everyone becomes incoherent, with the slight fear that that coherence is a sign of regression re: this moment but allowing myself to set that aside…

marvel continuity spiritually ends after tom defalco stops being EIC, or maybe at some arbitrary point near the end of his run. but if you want to believe in those comics as one long story, you can stop doing that after defalco and just read them as isolated stories going forward from that point.

Don Newton > Neal Adams, for that kind of thing

writing a letter to my newspaper that carries nancy to complain that the shirt should actually say ‘pink pantheress’

i still think if you did a comic about superman hanging out with a guy in hospice, unable to 'save him', it'd win 5 million eisners, even if all the pages were blank and the premise was just mentioned in the solicitation.

the only Eisner speech i found funny was when george perez got up to present an award and he was wearing a tux, and he looked around at all the other professionals dressed in t shirts and sweats and said 'i dressed up for this but you guys look like shit'

great thing to say if you work in a comic shop and a customer brings up some back issues to register: ‘oh! ambush bug! great!’

I wrote a eulogy for the best comic book store in the world at @comicsjournal.bsky.social I would appreciate it if you'd take a few minutes to read it. www.tcj.com/heartaches-b...
