It was 40 years ago today (Nov 11, 1985) that Ralph Winter called from Los Angeles and left a message on the phone in my apartment in Honolulu, asking me if I'd like to work on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. In doing so, he changed my life. Thanks, Ralph!

Good thing all of these new cars are also launching in Gran Turismo. With skyrocketing prices, 50-year mortgages, and no health insurance, it's going to be the only way for people to afford a new car.

AI is the pink slime extruder in the commodification of human instinctual behaviors.
“She worked, on the novel-writing machines in the Fiction Department… She "didn't much care for reading," she said. Books were just a commodity that had to be produced, like jam or bootlaces.”

Thought I’d share some more art from Come To Me—really love this page from Nico Gamboa.
It doesn’t look like it, but this a tear-jerker of a page I’m really proud of!
Bonus, I guess, if you’re into feet?
Still plenty of time to back our sexy horror one-shot! Get yours in the link in the reply!
