This isn't the major problem here, but can we talk about how a tech CEO finds describing her daughter in three bullet points a huge task with too much complexity? This is a person who is supposedly qualified to operate entire companies. Who is paid ungoldly amounts of money and has power over many.

They want to offload human connection to focus on... work. They're also selling AI as a solution to... labor costs. Yeah it's definitely fair to say there's no thinking through happening

Go see Wildwood. Seriously, don’t wait—go see Wildwood. What a piece of art. The love for the manual craft, for story that doesn’t hold back, for filmmaking that is not here to answer to stockholders, it weaves all through it. Incredible stuff.

FF16 is on the back burner until I finish Rebirth... don't know what the FUCK I was thinking, trying to tackle two Final Fantasy games at the same time 😭

The art director of the New Yorker being an "AI whisperer" should be a red flag for all artists who might work for the New Yorker going forward. The Spiegelman thing is a whole other bummer.

No pressure to whoever they cast as Beast, but they have a VERY high bar to clear 👀

The cast of ‘X-MEN’ is reportedly almost complete. (via DanielRPK | Twitter/X)

Also the lack of Beast screentime in season 2 was CRIMINAL, need him front and centre (and back in speedos) for season 3

The Scarlet Witch I've inadvertently drawn a few witches this month, seems fitting though. Here's Wanda! I ended up putting my own nouveau spin on her, incorporating some elements from her different looks. Pretty happy with how it ended up!

This is one of the things my therapist taught me that helped improve my mental health: Focus on a few things that you can actually change and do those. Start with your local community. You can’t help anyone if you’re burned out. Personally, I focus on going above and beyond for my patients.

He’s Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed, why we have to get big money out of politics, why billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy up major media, and why our government shouldn’t give them huge military contracts.
