La única forma de volver a eventos con entrada gratis y 100% centrados en cómic/fanzine es hacerlos NOSOTROS. Asociarse, pedir subvenciones, lo puede hacer cualquiera. Hay que organizarse y hacerlo. Sin pretensiones, sin esperar beneficios desde el día 1, pero se ha de hacer, no se va a hacer sólo.

Yo tenía 40 cuando me diagnosticaron cáncer. El cáncer es una enfermedad multifactorial, y aquí abro el melón:
las condiciones laborales como ilustrador/dibujante, enferman y matan. La precariedad, las noches sin dormir, los maratones en la silla, el estrés: matan.

lo del circuito de F1 de Madrid cada día más interesante y no en el buen sentido

Precisamente en IFEMA han abandonado la junta de accionistas socios fundadores porque veían un riesgo financiero excesivo en la F1 al requerir grandes inversiones sin un retorno claro. Escribieron una nota de prensa muy dura.

A veces cuando estoy haciendo algo para un cuspli o así digo, "¿No hago cosas un poco raras? ¿De dónde me saco yo el hacer esto?", pero luego mi padre me enseña una foto suya de él con 15 años con un cohete hecho de cartulina que hizo fijándose en fotos y todo se explica.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

Ethan Evans, former Amazon VP

As VP of Prime Gaming at Amazon, we failed multiple times to disrupt the game platform Steam. We were at least 250x bigger, and we tried everything. But ultimately, Goliath lost. Here's why:

The 15+ year long attempt to challenge Steam started before I was VP of Prime Gaming, but we never cracked the code. Not under my leadership or anyone else's.

The first way we tried to enter the online-game-store market was through acquisition. We acquired Reflexive Entertainment (a small PC game store) and tried to scale it. It went nowhere.

Then, after buying Twitch, we created our own PC games store. Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch. Wrong.

Finally, we built "Luna," a game streaming service that let people play without a high-end PC. Around the same time, Google tried the same thing with their
product "Stadia." Neither gained significant traction. The whole time, Steam dominated despite being a relatively small company (compared to Amazon and Google).

The mistake was that we underestimated what made consumers use Steam

It was a store, a social network, a library, and a trophy case all in one. And it worked well.

At Amazon, we assumed that size and visibility would be enough to attract customers, but we underestimated the power of existing user habits We never validated our core assumptions before investing heavily in solutions. The truth is that gamers already had the solution to their problems and they weren't going to switch platforms just because a new one was available

We needed to build something dramatically better, but we failed to do so. And we needed to validate our assumptions about our customers before starting to build. But we never really did that either.

Just because you are big enough to build something doesn't mean people will use it

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Ayer tuvimos la reunión de principio de curso en la guarde de beberio y la educadora comentó que cuando deja juego libre las niñas se van a jugar con los bebés y los nenes con los coches, y toda la gente llegó a la conclusión de que será genético. Curioso si pensamos que los coches tienen 200 años

What the actual fuck??? This is a really scary situation. This family is already facing death threats which is why they are leaving.

Because Dr. Bray is a scholar of anti-fascism.

Mark Bray @mark-bray.bsky.social · 28d

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Un sanísimo trozo de Aitor I. Eraña @aitorierana.bsky.social · Oct 4

Eran las 4:20 de la madrugada cuando me han despertado unos gritos en la calle. Me asomo a ver qué pasa. Son tres jóvenes, una chica y dos chicos. El que abría la marcha gritaba a los otros acusándoles de que se estaban liando a sus espaldas, "mal amigo, tú eres un traidor, tú no duermes en mi casa"

- We need cheaper printed black and white comics for the love of god
- Comics for adults could do crazy numbers if they actually had support, pubs are leaving money on the table
- Prose authors shouldn't be hired to write comics based on prose chops alone
- Cartoonists should be paid 700x more

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.
