I feel like we need a separate Internet that is completely free of AI, deepfakes, and engagement-driven social media. Basically, a way back machine that is constantly updated but which maintains the Internet experience as it was in like 2010.

Morrison’s “All Star Superman” is always cited as one of the best Superman stories (rightfully so) but @manruss.bsky.social & @allredmd.bsky.social ‘s “Superman: Space Age” is an absolute all-time great. Read it if you haven’t.

Traveling to Mars by @manruss.bsky.social and Roberto Meli Mark is one of our greatest living satirists, that wit is on display here. What could be a topical story is instead a mediation on grief, life wasted, sickness and inertia. It’s the greatest graphic novel I’ve ever read. Required reading.

Frankenstein was a modern Promethius in that he didn’t steal fire from the gods, but skipped straight to burning everything down without the middle man.

I feel like an under-appreciated sub-genre of film is "people near world events". Movies, not about the events themselves, but the regular lives of people preparing for them or dealing with them. Some really memorable examples of this: 🧵

Lost in the hoopla over the Super Bowl halftime show(s) is the fact that Bad Bunny is the biggest star on the planet that most Americans know nothing about and the NFL is the biggest American sport that the rest of the world does not watch. So Bad Bunny doing halftime was a brilliant move for both.
