Not sure how I feel about these Palestine activists on hunger strike. It's appalling they're stuck on remand (along with many many more prisoners), but the British government doesn't usually respond well to this tactic, and I'm not sure who more dead kids benefits, other than mural painters.

Comic creators often talk about "flow" through the composition of comics pages, but little work has actually studied it. So, our newest paper explores what flow is and how it works, which I’ve summarized in a more accessible way in this post: www.visuallanguagelab.com/2025/12/goin...

A lot is made of the weird right wing news entertainment channels in the US, and rightly seeing where we are with all that now, but I find the Rachel Maddow type stuff from the soft left just as weird. Why is the news reader giving an opinion? Why is she crying? Why do facts need a performance?

Let me ask you a question. Do you like water and breathable air? Or would you prefer to be able to make Captain Pugwash and Buzz Lightyear do stuff to each other for just $14.99 per month?
This is the dilemma of the age, let's debate this endlessly.

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

He also invented the mockumentary with This Is Spinal Tap (1984).
Plus, The Sure Thing (1985) is an underrated gem, an odd couple road trip romcom disguised as a teen sex comedy.
Man, what a run.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Album of 2025 for me is far and away Raging Speedhorn's 'Nightwolf'. Feral groove metal assault from start to finish.

What I'm getting from the Animal Farm trailer is that the makers think the book is a satire of communism, and not specifically a satire of Leninism and Stalinism.

A comic book won't harass you for 10 minutes to buy access to DLC, or flood you with ads that prevent you from enjoying the thing you actually bought. Neither will an older gaming system. This is bigger than a retro trend, it's at least in part a rejection of enshitification. Good.

I sometimes wonder if I'm just an auld fella shaking my fist at clouds when I back off from modern tech, but the truth is, most big tech products are no longer built to be useful, they're built to rinse you for a minimum standard service. And even children can see this.
Why are kids getting into comics and is their timing spot on?

This week has been a bit of a slog in terms of my brain and body, but I finally watched 1968's 'The Lion In Winter' and my god what a joy that was.
It's basically a family being stuck together bickering and plotting over Christmas. Very relatable.

the sweaty desperation of Hollywood studios to try and find SOME way to spin “Sinners” as a flop to keep other artists from following Coogler’s brilliant example just looks more and more absurd with each passing day as we see what the actual numbers look like
