one of my favorite takes on babs, period.
Hey Folks,
As I clean up my office today, I happened across a bit of a flashback to my days on "The Batman" with my pals Jeff Matsuda and Jose Lopez.
I had great fun doing expression drawings for Jeff's take on Batgirl.
Cheers!

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

good thread about dudes whose grift is “we’re visionaries!” when they’re really clown-grade hustlers
The OpenAI ruling writers should know about 👀 (if your work was scraped for LLM training, this affects you). www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.

If anything Stoppard is a cautionary tale. You can write the most transcendently beautiful stuff and then render it all meaningless in an instant.

Hey my loves: do I know anyone who reads Chinese who‘d be willing to help translate a few things for an indie game studio? They want to talk to interested users/answer some technical questions on Bilibili so Google won’t do. Just let me know!

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.
Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

one of the grimmest things I’ve ever read, but happily it does contain the phrase “mysterious constellation of brutal practices”
Pointed out by my friend @carloshasanax.bsky.social . There's something weird and unsettling about a fairly homogeneous culture spread out across Europe that then collapses into an orgy of genocide.

Addendum to this excellent post:
You do not have to be good at something to have fun.
Don't hold yourself up to hyperrealistic or professional or your favourite ___ standards.
You're new and learning!

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

A charity I'm fond of is a small local one founded by an elementary school girl called Chelsea's Charity. She puts together art kits to donate to children in need.

Who needs the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade when you have the fever dream of Fun In Balloonland? Please enjoy about ~1 minute of the most insane yet somehow real footage you will ever see.

This holiday season, I'm thankful for our common backyard birds. Sometimes we take the common birds for granted, but the fact is we should be grateful they've adapted robustly to urban and suburban settings. Here are a few shots from this morning.
