Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

This Hit Series Wasn’t Created for Black Fans. We Made It Our Own Anyway. Our long and complicated relationship with the late Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball.

Akira Toriyama died two years ago today. When he passed, I explained how Black American fans of Dragon Ball reinterpreted the series into a contemporary pillar of our culture.

I loved writing this essay, and I hope you enjoy it, too. Piccolo is wearing a wave cap.

“Comics were the first ones to punch Nazis before movies. They are inherently political. One thing they want to do is erase the past, but that’s one thing that this museum celebrates.” Guillermo del Toro at San Diego Comi-con on the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art
