Golden Age Superman stands head to thigh alone in a panel black at the top and red on the bottom where Superman stands pointing at the reader as he says, "Be wary of unscrupulous operators of gambling games--they are always on the look out for unsuspecting victims."

If we had a functioning legislature I feel like it would be nipped in the bud.

I've somehow managed to avoid ever having heard him speak before. THIS is the cult of personality who has captured men's minds?

X-Men are the undefeated champs of having a whole mess of characters staring at the reader while facing straight forward. It is honestly one of the things they do best and I'm here for it every time.

It's amazing when you watch stuff from the '80s how big a concern Selling Out was. Literally the entire ballgame now and they treated it like leprosy.

I played it side by side with my daughter and the two of us figured it all out together. It was magnificent.

Blue Prince was my personal GOTYTHNTDWMDJ (Game of the year that has nothing to do with my day job) last year. Now that it does have to do with my day job, you KNOW I'm going to tell you to pick it up for Nintendo Switch 2 today! #client

This was my response when my agents asked if I wanted to pitch on this reboot back in November. I really hope more creatives do the same so that the likes of Max Landis are all they can hire. I may not make an honest buck but I’m a hundred per cent American and I don’t work for no two-bit Nazi.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Two stories next to each other: from CNN 'Pentagon threatens to make Anthropic a pariah if it refuses to drop Al guardrails', and from New Scientist: 'Als can't stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations Leading Als from OpenAl, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases'
