I love Edward Gorey’s theory of art: “Art…is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”
Good luck to my friends at the #EisnerAwards tonight! Cheering you on from Vancouver!
Passing in the Night is out there in the world! Thanks again to all our lovely readers and Kickstarter backers. Enjoy your swag 😘🐉 DM me if you want a signed copy of this sweet and magical love story
So weird that some book projects take more than a decade between “final” draft and publication… and then others have a head-spinning few months of process time.
He continues, in that thread or at this link, " To make things worse, AI can't do the jobs it's replacing: AI is predicated on the premise that the monopolies, duopolies and cartels that control the global economy can deliberately worsen their products without suffering consequences..."

At best, AI bros either know this is the case, and do not care. Or, worse, they know this is the case, and this is exactly what they hope for; because all they care about is ensuring a generation unable to read, think or write without their technology.

“To a remarkable degree, the greatest threats to our democracy in recent decades have their origins in efforts to protect the fossil fuel industry from a clean energy transition.” @aaronregunberg.bsky.social on what the arguments for “climate hushing” get wrong:
Why Climate Politics Can’t Wait
“Climate hushing” is all the rage among Democrats. That’s a big mistake.

Absolutely brutal thread. "A.i." in education is a fucking plague and anyone who pushes it on professors and students is betraying education itself. An act of abuse and betrayal to push this fucking cheating, lying, bullshit machine on anyone, ESPECIALLY in an educational environment.
Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social · 2mo agoAt the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

I hate moving but I really enjoy telling the cat all about it ahead of time.
If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.
I've taught PERSEPOLIS (book & movie) more times than I can count. Two epic masterpieces, but, more than that, two texts that find their way to young people. I've never had a class that didn't *get* PERSEPOLIS, and that's a miracle of its own. Satrapi's voice and imagination are so alive. RIP.
Congratulations to @fiddlehd.bsky.social managing editor Ian LeTourneau on this well-deserved win.
