The big article on data centers in the New Yorker is pretty good, which I wasn’t expecting given the reaction on X. Lots of talk of the good and bad of AI, and it covers both bubble & non-bubble arguments.

It also featured the best version of “I spoke to a local farmer about a data center”

This book was exactly the sort of thing I needed when I was going through a hard time, so I had to do a little fan-cover for it. I like to imagine it's illustrated like French serials novels!

Title: The Goblin Emperor

Image: A vintage book cover of cloth and paper, the cover illustration depicting Maia Drazhar from the book 'The Goblin Emperor' by Katherine Addison. He is dressed in imperial white robes that cascade down and over a plinth on which the words 'Drazhar Edrehasivar 7th' are engraved. His skin is the color of storm clouds and his dark hair is braided and held back by strings of pearl beads. He is wearing the crown of the Ethuviraz- the Ethuverazhid Mura. Beside his illustration is a small Sigil depicting a cat rampant with the tail of a sea serpent. The book resembles illustrated French serial novels from the turn of the 20th century.

Have you read my script for a theoretical fresh start Star Wars film? It's a Count of Monte Christo inspired tale of scheming nobles and a workers uprising, with a blue Danny Devito and a weaponised Gonk Droid. Artwork by Barry McGowan (facebook.com/mcgowanbarry) archiveofourown.org/works/39924441

Artwork by Barry McGowan of a painted post for a Star Wars movie called The Kyber Conflict. Two noblemen with lightsabers frame the top above a lavish palace atop a waterfall. Beneath them are an older Jedi woman, a young human and twilek miner, a duros wearing a a wig and a blue Danny Devito with a gonk droid.

After being shot in the head and put in a coma by her cop ex-boyfriend and left with crippling medical debt after being fired from her job, a chance mistake leaves Cassandra De La Mort augmented with an advanced combat rig that gifts her a strategists brain and the strength of ten men.

A toned woman with a sidecut, wearing hoop earrings, a tank top and denim shorts, and a raincoat with the sleeves cut off. She has a P90 machinegun in her right hand and a pistol in her left. She is standing in the ruins of a building, shouting a battle cry and firing the P90 towards the viewer.

Hell, some of the discs of catalogue titles are the same discs that were produced *25 years ago*. You get Beetlejuice on DVD, and it's the same disc from 1999.

Yeah, they should have done a new encode at some point, but that is amazing to think about.

That DVD still exists, is still the dominant format, and that a good disc can actually still be alright and watchable quality when upscaled, they are a miracle.

And the sad part is that, somehow, DVD remains probably the most reliable home video format.

Part of what screwed Blu-ray take-up was just how terrible they were to play on a computer because of how complex the copy protection was, that it made it practically impossible.

The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.

Have you read my short comic, One Hell of a Night, yet? It's a short, sexy, supernatural horror brought vividly to life by the incredible artwork of @comicnerdsam.bsky.social . A good thing to repost for the spooky season.

Comic Page. 1. Opening scene of Screws, a tough looking punk girl, with scars, tattoos and piercings, probably in her mid 30's. With her is Mira, a wholesome looking girly girl with a plumper figure, pigtails, early 20s. Screws is all leather and metal, Mira is more pinks and reds. At this moment the two have burst into a darkened hotel room, kissing and hugging. Screws has a canvas bag hanging from her shoulder.

SCREWS: MMMM

2. The two lower themselves onto the bed. Undressing each other. Screws is on top. She's putting down the bag at the same time.

MIRA: WOW YOU SEEM EAGER. LOOKING TO BLOW OFF SOME STEAM?

SCREWS: UHH, YEAH, BEEN WORKING MY ARSE OFF ALL DAY.

3. View of the bag beside the bed, we see it filled with money and valuables, wads of notes, watches, rings, a revolver.

MIRA (V/O): MUST HAVE BEEN AN EXTRAORDINARY DAY.

SCREWS (V/O): NAH, IT WAS RUN OF THE MILL TO BE HONEST.

4. Flashback Another Establishing shot, this time a large grimy alleyway. Screws is in the foreground watching 3 other gang girls loading a plain van up with a variety of drugs, cocaine, heroin etc, the group are sporting pistols.

MIRA (V/O): SO WHAT IS IT YOU DO?

1. Close up of Screws' head/upper body. She's lying on the bed now, Mira is on top.

SCREWS: IS THIS A FUCK OR AN INTERROGATION?

MIRA: PLAY NICE, AND MAYBE I'LL GIVE YOU A REWARD.

SCREWS: OH MY!

2: Mira kisses Screws' neck. Screws closes her eyes and leans back.

SCREWS: OH I'M *AHH* IN THE IMPORT EXPORT BUSINESS YOU KNOW?

3. Flashback. Screws' van driving into a large, empty warehouse, where rough looking mobsters and gang members wait.

SCREWS (V/O): A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS, THIS *NGGGH* AND THAT, SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY.

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

I was really engaged for the first 2 thirds. Really interesting concept, set up, excited to see how they resolved the plot threads and ... they just didn't.

"An otherwise good film" okay I just finished it, and I take that back.

Jack Harvey @eljackinton.bsky.social · 2d

I'm watching Late Night Woth the Devil and I honestly do not know what possessed them to use ai generated art for the break to ads. Every image looks like ass and is very obviously ai if you know what you're looking for and it really discracts from the 70s vibe. A blight on an otherwise good film.

Its so weird because they pulled out all the stops to make it feel as authentically 70s as possivle and just skimped on the cards and it just pulls you out of the moment whenever they hit.
