I predict that Pets Tell Tales by Rik Worth and Jordan Collver will become the best selling comic series of all time and publishers should line up to start a bidding war for the next books in the series. Also, the TV/Movie/Foreign rights are priceless.

Folks, we need to rethink our understanding of time and reality itself because... people worry about things and occasionally those worries come true. Science!
"This scientist is researching precognition, psychic phenomena and the non-linear nature of time."
Fascinating! I'd love to hear more!
"She works at her university's centre for research into AI."
Well that puts a real dent in her credibility.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.
Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

The erosion pattern underneath these tree roots is awesome. Very crumbly fine red soil forming geometric columns in the exact shape of the flat stones directly above them. Moss growing on it in places so they're relatively stable structures too.

A couple of years ago, as part of a @britishacademy.bsky.social funded project, I interviewed some sci comm folk about storytelling strategies we know cause humans to pay attention to some stories more than others.

I severely need this.
I finished reading @jesselonergan.bsky.social‘s new GN, Drome today. Mindbending experimentation in the art and a thought provoking sci-fi story, it’s a must have.
The movement though the drawings, panels, and trajectory lines, the colours. 35 panel pages with gutters used to create depth.
Unique!

SANTA:
You said: “I ain’t going back there”

SANTA:
If you wanna take over -

Oh yeah! Kids coming downstairs to find me resurrected in their living room going "I got you an Xbox"...
