CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.
Silicon Valley's capture of our political institutions is all but complete
The tech lobby kills off two key California AI bills, and why it matters. Plus: How Sam Altman played Hollywood with Sora 2, organized mass social media deletions, and more.

Comics is Hard.

Support the publishers you love, gang. Buy their books, support their crowdfunds, and boost their promo. The margins are razor thin.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

Three girls gather around in the center of the painting as the witch (middle) casts a magical spell in Scarlett’s room (vampire.) The character to her right is Frankenstein’s daughter. The character sitting by the window is a vampire. We see books, pages, drinks, spread across the floor.

One of the weird side effects of having a LOT of different ideas you've worked on over time is that even when you put an idea to bed, to work on something else, that old idea has a way of occasionally making a LOT of noise in the back of your brain. And sometimes, right in the front.

while it may not seem like it to someone scrolling by with a cursory look, what i am creating is not ‘ironic’ nor a ‘get rich quick scheme’ and it is certainly not AI GENERATED. it is a genuine expression of my heart and my beliefs about sexuality and art and love and freedom and curiosity and joy

I was just going through a box of my old memorabilia, and I thought I’d share this concert ad from 1984 (just in case you thought my biopic was LYING about Howie Mandel opening for me!)

Always useful to remember we all feel like this sometimes. Self-doubt gets us all. And it’s our cue to take some self-care steps like a meal, hydration, some sleep, a walk outside, favorite activity etc.!

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.

Not one.

To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.
