Normally, I write about European eels. But the medieval English ate and traded conger eels too!

In 1470, a picard (a small ship) took a load of beans from Bridgewater, in Somerset, to Wexford, Ireland. The ship came back with a hold full of salmon, herring, & congers.

Meme. Still from Star Trek: The Next Generation, showing Captain Picard standing on the bridge of the Enterprise. He is pointing forward with his left hand, and his right hand is back against his chest. His head is cocked slightly, and the light of righteousness is shining off of his bald head. His eye are narrowed, but are still full of acting. With his pose, he looks like the Buddy Christ come to life and sent to explore the galaxy (albeit with less hair). Behind Picard you can see Worf over his left shoulder, and Commander Riker seated to his right. Riker is out of uniform, suggesting that it might be Casual Friday. Klingons clearly don't do Casual Friday. Meditating on the bridge on the Enterprise: Bridges are liminal spaces -- lands between the here and there -- where the boundaries of the world become both real and porous. They connect and divide. And that's the role of the bridge in the show, too: a warp-speed liminal container. Meme text reads: "I'm full of eels for you"

One of the best ways to mark #HispanicHeritageMonth is with a book exploring the rich cultural heritage of Hispanic-Americans and their countries of origin.

Book banners say they are only targeting pornography and books with no literary merit.

Since 2021, works by more than a dozen #NobelPrizeForLiterature-winning authors have been banned in U.S. school districts.

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.
A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

This is an important investigation and the context I’d add as a sociologist is how hard-to-use these programs already are for many—from years-long waiting lines for section 8 or housing, to lack of landlords willing to rent to Section 8 households, and ongoing loss of public housing units

if there’s someone whose takes you consistently like on this app, find out if they have a non-app body of work and support it

Do they draw comics? Buy some! Do they write Star Trek books? Borrow them from the library! Etc

A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.

Added alt text with full quote.

“When I see that, I worry that they might face serious trouble down the line if they don't take it more seriously.”
Hirohiko Araki addresses Al art in his latest book: "Recently, I came across a drawing that perfectly mimicked my art style. I thought 'I don't remember drawing this' only to find out it was Al, I was shocked, this is truly evil and a tool for scammers" In this post there is a photo of Hirohiko Araki, creator of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure next to Giorno from the series. By Hirohiko Araki. It’s titled “Today’s World of Con Artists” and it reads: Speaking about 'societal evils, I think that as Al continues to spread throughout society, we're going to see an increasingly shady world filled with scammers exploiting it. Recently, I came across a drawing and thought, "This is something I drew, right?" I was shocked to find out it was actually created by Al. When I draw manga, I add subtle, personal elements that make the work uniquely mine. But this Al-generated piece even mimicked details like the way I draw eyelashes, so precisely that it was almost impossible to tell it apart from my work. If it were based on recent drawings, I'd know right away, "No, I didn't draw this." On the other hand, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference if it were done with my art from about ten years ago, when my memory of it would be a little hazy. The more Al advances, the more this kind of thing will happen. Art reflects the times, and manga is one example of that. Seeing this world of con artists appear in manga could very well mean that we're headed for a future world dominated by fraudsters. This type of 'evil' in today's age will undoubtedly end up impacting manga down the line. Copyright infringement by Al is also a 'villain' that we manga artists must face. The extreme scenario is that Al-generated fakes might start being accepted as the "real thing," and even if we try to protect our work, these counterfeits are becoming so accurate and sophisticated that it's no longer a fight an individual can win. Having some kind of laws would probably be the only way to regulate this. However, because we're dealing with a world of con artists, there's also a very real possibility that laws favoring them will appear before we know it. Personally, I entrust my copyright management to Shueisha, but some manga artists are lax in managing their copyrights, leading to others using their artwork without permission or even leaking original drawings.
