I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Of course, the same is true for so many people in our upside down society: money flows to those who treat the rest of us as expendable and exploitable. The world, apparently, doesn't owe us a living (unless you're a landlord)...
Meanwhile, here in Aotearoa, I've known so many amazing writers & artists who've worked incredibly hard, created work that has changed lives, yet lived lives of desperate poverty and hardship. NZ's creative sector is worth billions but the people who drive it are treated as cheap raw materials.
I've met cartoonists and writers from other European countries with similar policies and it's clear that it turbo-charges the artistic industries like nothing else.
Thanks old friend - Much love to you and the fam ❤️
It breaks my heart that this is both the correct thing to do & a sign of how awful things are right now. @marinaomi.bsky.social built something beautiful that helped make the comics industry (& community) better. Now they're taking it down to keep artists safe. ❤️❤️❤️
Of course there's a typo in that skeet.

Chloe's body language says it all.
Yes, I was thinking of films like Top Gun, Dirty Harry, 300, etc (rather than misread critiques). But really there's so many (crime films, war movies, westerns)...
Does anyone know this old (New Yorker?) cartoon I've been searching for?

How I remember it: two people walking out of a cinema that's showing 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar Ate New York.' One person says (something like): "I can't help feeling they missed the point of the book."

When we do (if it hasn't already happened), we'll be able to see a clear, traceable, unbroken line of popular media from 1939 to today into which it comfortably fits.
I'm blushing over here. Thank you, sir 😊
I read HICKSVILLE by @dylanhorrocks.bsky.social. A fictional story about the history of comics and a small town that is deeply tied to it. A staggeringly powerful love letter to the medium and the people who helped shape it.

Magical realism meets journalism meets (fictional) biography. Brilliant.
Turns out the real Hicksville was inside us all along...
I once shared breakfast table with Aragones and it was everything you would hope for
