So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.

I genuinely don't know why this campaign is stalled under $2k. A great lineup of writers and artists, the book is gorgeous, it's almost complete, and it supports up-and-coming creatives as well as a small indie press! These are the kind of projects we NEED to fund. 10 days left, let's go!!

I adore you Leon, Egyptologist here, they were built by a largely volunteer force (corvée labor) of 25,000. The builders were very well fed, paid in bread and beer, and received excellent medical care. There was no slavery whatsoever, it is a common misconception.

I never knew about Charles Allen until today. The fact that two legends, Neal Adams (Batman) and Art Spiegelman (Maus) were taught by him...wow. I'm just in awe. I wish I knew about Charles when I was a kid.

Cartoonist & illustrator Charles Allen (June 23, 1921-June 8, 1999) drew the comic strip “Tan Topics” in the 1940s & for magazines such as Collier's. He also taught at the School of Industrial Art in Manhattan (later High School of Art & Design). His students included Neal Adams & Art Spiegelman.

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.

At 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 mean, your society’s broken… Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.” —Iain Banks died #OTD, 9 June, 2013 www.theguardian.com/books/2013/j...
