Corporate digital comics archives & major academic digital archives have different priorities but one thing in common: they generally cost money, creating barriers to entry. In contrast, fan-made archives are often free, suggesting a democratized alternative. Let’s explore the pros & cons. 1/12
24. Žižek joins every app, posts 50 messages on every app every day tagging Lacan, Marx, Althusser, and Alfred Hitchcock in every post; in between posts, he reposts his own posts; he also has the worst Letterboxd on earth
International Times@internationaltimes.bsky.social · 5d ago18. Sartre creates 47 alt accounts. 19. Beauvoir calls out Sartre's ghostwriter. 20. Camus starts a TikTok about absurdity. 21. Foucault gets shadowbanned for discourse analysis. 22. Habermas argues in every comment section. 23. Chomsky refuses to join any platform.
This book is fantastic btw. Highly recommended.

An excellent thread on a major issue we face in teaching comics—sourcing comics for students is a nightmare. Digital archives are one solution, and many student will choose to read everything digitally anyway. At the same time, I can’t assign my students a subscription to Marvel Unlimited
Sequential Scholars@sequentialscholars.bsky.social · last wk.The impact of digital archives on comics pedagogy is a history that’s still being written whilst raising a number of key questions about our understanding of comics in a modern college or university classroom. There are opportunities here, but metaphorical landmines along the way.#comicsstudies 1/13

The music app on my iPhone has just decided that some albums are several albums, and has split the songs up accordingly. It’s removed songs from albums because they’re also on some celebrity’s playlist (which I don’t have), so the song is just off in “Various Artists” in a random playlist album.

A trend I really don’t like is places like Criterion and Arrow doing multi-format sets and pricing the hell out of them. Criterion’s Complete Kubrick is 13 films + 3 shorts—stretched to 30 disks—for SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS. I don’t care how good the quality is, I can’t justify $600 for 13 films.
My hometown had 2 “super saver” theaters in the 90s—tickets were like $1.50 by the time they closed—so the number of bad movies I’ve seen in the theater is incalculable My friends saw the 13 GHOSTS remake 8 times, the last month the theaters were in business
