Spider-Man: Brand New Day was pretty good, if a hair long. Suit and lighting really pop. Solid performances and set pieces. Fun cameos.

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

• panters cannot pant hım; looks like someone else (38b) • insensitive to music (38b) • despises death and the dead (38b) . is affected only by relics that are older than he is (38b) • can create evil thoughts in others, banish good ones, and destroy will (38b) • cannot be photographed; photographs come out black or like a skeleton corpse (4, 38b) • can tell if bodies are dead or alive (4) • sees man semingly dead and says "no" (4) • has to be brought or carried over threshold. Dracula visits an asylum where he stumbles on the threshold (4, 16) • named "Count Wampyr" (1) • can determine and prove if people are sane (24) green taper with blue flame in Count's house (43va)

here's another throwback from 2016 a private poster commission inspired by Moby Dick honestly still really love this one, both the concept and execution i worked on pre-inked scratchboard for this one (so fully black) instead of the usual white claybord that i ink myself 30x40cm

a black and white scratchboard illustration inspired by Mody Dick. It depicts a giant white whale about to collide with a whaling ship. The scene is viewed from a bird's eye view, high above the scene. Seagulls are seen orbiting around the scene. The ship and the whale create waves in the water that reinforce the tension between them.

US Courts… ‘The Anthropic copyright case set the precedent — the US court ruled that by making a digital copy and destroying the physical in a one-for-one transfer, the process is deemed “transformative” and therefore protected by fair use.’ Unbelievable and unconscionable

The Missouri AG threatened Daniel Boone Regional Library in Columbia with total defunding and investigations if they read books with LGBTQ+ themes to kids in a Pride story hour. They did so anyway. Our latest story from s. Baum of one library's defiance against an oppressive Republican regime.

Missouri Library Defiantly Holds LGBTQ Story Hour Despite Funding and Legal State Threats

“This isn’t isolated to Missouri. It doesn’t end here if we don’t stop it here.”

I have a personal belief that the more a person is a nerd for something: dinosaurs, The Odyssey, etc, the less likely they are to enjoy a popular entertainment version of that thing.

NEW: A large trove of Claude-generated documents have been exposed to the web and indexed by Google. We reviewed what appear to be real medical records, the full names and phone numbers of school-aged children, and company documents marked for internal use only. futurism.com/artificial-i...
