It's time to finally let this out! I have a new comic, my first as writer and artist, and it's called ¡Malandros! A comic about criminals hunting monsters in Bogotá and the funny results of such an endeavor. Read it in malandroscomic.com #webcomicday #webcomic #indiecomic #selfpublishedcomics #comic

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Look, we can all agree that a logging company making a small, temporary profit is far more important than preserving rare and ecologically crucial forests.

I can’t get over how Barbie succeeded because it offered tangible ways for women and girls to celebrate each other (and dress up and go to the movies together) but studios thought it worked because it’s about toys so now they’re making like Bananagrams the movie

Reminder that there exists an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet filmed with untrained stray cats in Rome, dubbed over by British Shakespearean actors.

It's called 'Romeo.Juliet' and has never been given a VHS/ DVD or Bluray release. BUT THERE IS A COPY ON THE INTERNET ARCHIVE.

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

RIP CARY-HIROYUKI TAGAWA. I still remember when a small group of us from the Milestone Comics staff went on a Friday night and saw this on the big screen.

You were a man of badass villainy, Shang Tsung.

also, Spotify doesn't pay royalties at all for tracks with less than a thousand streams.

and sometimes if an album gets a sudden surge of fan interest, Spotify deems it "unusual listening activity" and just removes the album, as happened to my last EP.
Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Did someone mention Honduras?
Roger Stone is promoting Prospera, a “Freedom City” (per Stone) in Honduras backed by Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen (who once tweeted that “anti-colonialism has been economically catastrophic for the Indian people…”) & Balaji Srinivasan (author of The Network State: How to Build a New Country). 1/

If Trump's pardons and recent revival of interventionism in Latin America is for the Prospera bullshit, you better believe that his downfall will include the heads of Silicon Valley when it happens
