Hi new friends! We make comics, and for the last year we’ve been making a smart, hella gay romcom about weddings, crime, and how shitty rich people can be.
Check out the cover and full synopsis in the link, check the hashtag for a bunch of WIP stuff, and maybe give it a preorder?

Hey guys, Paul Allor is a wonderful writer I worked with on TMNT and a great person to boot. Like many creatives, Paul had some back luck health-wise and is looking for some help to raise a modest amount to cover some outstanding bills. Please consider donating a few bucks if you can.
I'm getting out of the hospital today and I could use some help, if you're able. Even taking the time to check it out or share means more than I can say.

Hey we live in hell so how about buying some wound treatment for medics who have to be out on the street patching up their neighbors instead of *not* doing that and living the lives they lead before the goonsquad came to town.
Do you want to help Minneapolis out in a different way? Help set up some new street medics so that they can make sure community members are cared for at protests.

Art is a bridge between the maker and the viewer. AI art is just a mural of a bridge for casual viewers to drive into thinking it would take them somewhere

I’m not great at maths, is that more or less than 125 million
Yikes: the alternative TPUSA “All-American” Halftime Show had fewer than 14,000 views.

I really do think this is an excellent metaphor for the moment.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I was reminded this morning of the Critical Studies elective I did in 6th Form; the teacher asked if we could think of any examples of indoctrination we’d experienced and I was shocked I was the only person to raise a hand and say “capitalism”

The “suspected political message” bit really confirms they are straight up functionally illiterate when it comes to art, if their constant citing of Star Wars, Star Trek etc wasn’t enough of a clue

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.
She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.
It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.
