This is cool, years ago I sold some artwork to the Sherlock Holmes hotel in London and some of it is still up, well at least it's still up in their 3D tour of the hotel. I did that big canvas of all the Sherlock Holmes story titles in the shape of the famous Sherlock Holmes profile.

Positive: the bifurcation of markets. There are many more audiences willing to buy & read comics than there were when I broke in, and so many more ways to get them.

Neg: drawing comics used to be a middle-class job. Many publishers now expect artists to live well below the poverty line. #lieberAMA

What changes throughout the years has been the most positive and the most negative for the comics industry, in your opinion?

I can understand why they would have forgotten what "journalism" means, given how few of the major outlets are actively practicing it, but this is ludicrous.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

The policy says reporters cannot obtain any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize.

Pentagon demands journalists pledge to not obtain unauthorized material

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is imposing strict new rules that would severely limit the ability of journalists to report on the Pentagon.

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

If there was ever a cat to name Meow-oriaty.

Tammi, yeah, that one. 2.1 @tammi.bsky.social · 2d

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

There’s the pettiness.

And the cruelty.

And then there’s the fact that they’ve defunded every useful thing the US government used to do, but seem to have infinite resources for an unprecedented campaign of harassment against ordinary people living their lives.

Anyone in Boston an immigration lawyer or know one who can help this woman? Her husband is detained at Logan over a dismissed misdemeanor from 2017. He’s a legal resident of the US. She just asked for help an hour ago.

I thought it was good. A sequel that knows why people liked the first movie but doesn't just repeat it.

The previous book with the same characters, The Patient in Room 18, was also made into a movie and used to be available through Warner Archive but apparently not any more.

Enjoyed reading While the Patient Slept, a 1930s murder mystery by Mignon Eberhart. Then I discovered there's a movie! Starring Aline MacMahon and Guy Kibbee (as Detective O'Leary, who is supposed to be handsome...) and Lyle Talbot.

I can't show you the art project yet, because the recipients haven't gotten it, but I commissioned @nitaelwy.bsky.social for a very special fandom piece, and it was done AMAZINGLY. Very much recommended.

I miss Castle and its fandom. I wish it hadn't spun down so inelegantly.

(Brought to you by my reading this book, which so far is an episode guide for the non-conspiracy eps, which were my favorites anyway.)
