Martha Thomases did PR for DC for a long while. And offered to get me in to see the Ramones' sound check across the street at the David Letterman Show.
I, stupidly not knowing who the Ramones were at the time, passed.
She is amazing.

in which we look back at one of the great missed opportunities of 80s Marvel - a book designed to tap the zeitgeist of an era’s stylish crime entertainment, the brainchild of writer Martha Thomases and the great Tony Salmons … abruptly canceled after a measly five issues. 🤪

I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Had a crazy dream last night where I restarted the Manga Moveable Fest. Some of the original reviewers were part of it as well as new reviewers. Hadn't thought about MMF in a very long time. Have no idea where this dream came from.

Watching the Golden Girls special that aired recently - I know it's basically an ad for the series now on Hulu, but it's a great idea to introduce younger viewers to TV classics, to talk about why and how it was different and important.
