Stay safe, everyone. Stay alive. Get weird with it if that's what helps you live your values. Be here; be queer. Protect your friends and loved ones. This ride ain't over yet.

Happy new year, y'all!
Here's to the joy we will carve out in defiance of fascism. Let this year be the turning point to something brighter, and let it be our joy that lights the way.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

The Shadow is in the public domain as of 2026.
But only as a mysterious narrator. The pulp hero version goes PD next year, and in 2033 he’ll be able to cloud men’s minds so they cannot see him.

Journos need to always challenge the right-wing framing of "antifa" being a specific organisation that can be banned or restricted. Just straight up be like "but that's nonsense, it doesn't exist" every time

This is why the costumes are honestly brilliant. Ngo, who has never said a truthful thing in his entire life (remember the concrete milkshake?) now has to convince people inflatable Sesame Street and animal costumes are violent terrorists.
Sometimes you just need an image too silly to demonize.

People make fun of me when I take the ribs off their plate that they did not eat to completion but frankly it's on you if you didn't eat them properly
I get roasted by the fam cuz when I eat chicken wings I leave the bones (including the tiny wing ones) dry and bleached like a fallout death screen, but I just like cartilage alot. Same applies to ribs and stuff of that nature, so I felt your fish example.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

It is always fun when a fan asks for a character from Legion of Super-Heroes.
Here is Lightning Lad show commission I did at Paris Manga and Sci-Fi show. All done with markers, brush pen and white ink.

I liked when James Baxter used to do occasional guest spots on animated TV shows. I assume studios had a bat signal for him, except instead of a static bat it was a horse running in perspective towards the camera while the camera rotated around it

The term 'political violence' exists to manufacture an artificial distinction between the violence of capital and the state against the working class and any violence against capital and the state, expressly so that the former can be tacitly endorsed while the latter is condemned.

It seems like we're experiencing a sort of rerun of the political violence of the 1960s—except this time we have the internet cooking everyone's brains. None of this leads anywhere good.

folks, I've never lived through years of mass political violence but I do study it for a living: you don't want to live through years of political violence.

oh no is the right wing demanding crackdowns, martial law, and masked secret policemen disappearing you or shaking you down for papers? all because of this specific incident!
pretty astonishing to see people celebrating Charlie Kirk getting shot when this is the dominant reaction on X, and it will only continue to grow over the next few days

I keep saying this. The Right fundamentally are *not* hypocrites. They believe in double standards. For them, double standards are correct, inevitable, and desirable, because the idea that certain groups are better than others and should therefore have more rights is the basis of right-wing ideology
No, the fake “free speech” crowd isn’t going to defend the professor fired for teaching exactly what her course was about. We can stop noting those “failures” now. Let’s move on from calling them hypocrites. They’re not hypocrites! They’re fascists, authoritarians, or apologist.
