And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.
In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Come to terms my only satisfying solution is to find a way to profit from reading/researching/discussing a week’s worth of comics every day from 1938 until current.
Marvel/DC dozen-ish releases each + like Usagi, GI Joe, revisiting Hellboy, TMNT… Only 30 books every single day for like 15 years…

More I stare at these Bat archives, I think it might bring a specific OCD not worth the fun of going through a chronology.
No matter pre-Crisis, but Post, especially New 52 on, Bruce/Dick/Tim are pretty essential to Justice League/Titans/Young Justice in ways that play into their own continuity.

Well, now that I have said I put too much past stock in reading orders vs actual rewards of multi-book continuity…
I have found a couple docs that compiled seem to be the complete Bat Family chronology from 1938 updated through about 2019.

Likely I don’t try again for a year or two until long indies are done, but been looking at Batman continuities again.
Aside ‘90s events like Knightfall, Batman and Detective very rarely cross over in a way I’d probably need to read in a chronology. Might just pick 1(Bats likely) and go 1940-Now.

Could not place last night why the credits song for the last Evangelion movie was so familiar and catchy.
Of course it’s Hikaru Utada (in my specific interests) of numbered Kingdom Hearts themes fame.

Wrapped up the Evangelion Rebuild.
May be some of the best animation I’ve ever seen, with some real badass anime shit, and I think it’s probably a cleaner and more satisfying explanation of the metaphysical parts of the plot than the original.

Well, however my brain is wired, it’s definitely more satisfying to have a checklist of media I look at once per day than picking at the same story multiple times throughout. Accomplish more in same or less time.
Though it is a weird rewiring each time I shift between a multi or singular focus.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Watched 3 of 4 Evangelion rebuilds this week, last is a long endeavor.
Otherwise, just gotta finish these damn MIs & can kinda roulette movies, not many franchises of concern.
But I’m at the deadline on whether to commit to Godzilla. One every week for 38 would finish just in time for Minus Zero.

After distractions I think I’ve got tv back to Rangers + 1 other show.
Again mood is harder to binge a whole season and do 1 show rotations than just episode a day through a series. And I’d rather 2 things even like 100 days straight than try to fit them each on their own day over 100 weeks.

Well, I read nothing but Spawn for over a week, probably a decade worth in a month all the way to #200.
Now believe I can ease to an issue (maybe 2 but usually another different series within) a day and be caught up before the end of the year.

State of Play reminded me there is more cool stuff I’m intrigued by this year past RE/Lego/GTA.
Mina, Pragmata, Control, 007, happy to see Legacy of Kain stuff after 20 years + the Konami resurgence with Silent Hills, Castlevanias and Metal Gear finally all on current hardware.

People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.
