Optimus Prime on toned paper with markers and coloured pencils.
This puts me in mind of the LAPD defense lawyers' strategy during the Rodney King trial in 1992. They replayed the tape of the beating over and over, often going through frame-by-frame, in an effort to desensitize the jury and make the overall effect less visceral and shocking. Similar tactics here.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

I worry for the viability of The Onion when this is what the actual news reads like.
The whole internet loves Cola Bottle Nate, a lovely guy who almost kills himself eating Haribro cola bottles! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you Mr. Rimmington is racist

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Normally when I hear about something like this happening in a far off city, I think, "Oh, that'd be nice," but with this one I'm kind of losing my mind with jealousy for anyone who gets to go. Great movie, with one of the greatest soundtracks. I'd kill to be at this.
Extremely relevant to a certain type of reader, particularly if you’re in Los Angeles: a venue is showing TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. with Wang Chung performing their score live to picture! www.ticketmaster.com/to-live-and-...

Everything that goes on a comic book page is art. That includes lettering. The same thought and care that goes into drawing or coloring should go into the lettering. Lettering is art.

I mean if nothing else this is an extremely important lesson in “it really doesn’t matter if you have the same basic idea as someone else because they will definitely do ‘magical singers attract and then have to fight demons’ WAY differently to you “.
So wait, Sinners and KPop Demon Hunters have the same plot?

This time last year, I bought some Lone Wolf & Cub books online and when I went to get them, the person was wearing a Hulkamania shirt. If it'd been a week earlier, I'd have said, "Cool shirt," but in that moment my thought was, "Is she being retro-kitschy? Or is it because he spoke at the RNC?"
