the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.

There's a type of "mature" media, usually animated or in games, that is basically written on the level of YA but half the lines are bad sex jokes and overused profanity like 12 year olds talking when their parents aren't around.

It pains me that there is an entire generation of people who have now grown up trained to view manipulative, engagement-farming gambling games as the norm for video games.
There are countless people who have formative, nostalgic memories of opening loot boxes and the excitement of gacha ten-pulls

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

Trump smiling and grinning at Mamdani can be easily explained by how powerless Trump wants to think Mamdani is compared to him and the photos of the meet and greet are essentially him parading a barbarian lord from distant lands subservient to the might of Caeser.

any advice telling you:
"Don't be the squeaky wheel."
"Pay your dues." (union dues are ok)
"This is how it is."
- is priming you to accept bad behavior in an industry where it was an open secret that show creators were dating 16 year olds.

I hear a lot of stories about fan artists being contacted by creators. They make you feel special. They can make you feel good. And I love to mentor high school or college students, its so important to me -
but the lack of professional boundaries and accountability in these industries is dangerous

in 2026 i would love to see cartoonists collectively let go of the resentment that "comics take years to make and moments to read." 🙏 the contrast in time creating vs time experiencing is true of all art. why complain that someone read your work? Chill out and enjoy meeting a reader on the page.
