Yeeeeeah I stopped making comics because I needed a full time job. Working full time while also writing/drawing books literally burned me out so I mostly stopped.
If I wanna make art now, it has to happen at like 11PM or on weekends days off. This system does not even produce my best work.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

i keep ringing this bell, but you can look no further than them getting *full control* of the Kennedy Center, one of the premier performance venues in the nation and the only thing they've really succeeded in putting on with it is a Kiss concert
The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

THIS IS NOT A DRILL
YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO.
USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.
