Do we have a name for the hive-mind body snatcher monsters in TV and film? They’re so ubiquitous (Pluribus, Bodysnatchers, The Borg, Mind-flayers), but I don’t think we’ve ever given them a label a la zombie, vampire, werewolf, ghost, etc. Unless I’m mistaken…?

feels like there's been a big push to abandon anything like humanistic moral values, christian charity, or basic decency, but we're all supposed to be very obsessed with what is in our food and water, unless it's a chemical that's demonstrably toxic, then we need to let industry dump it into rivers

Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

INT: A Burger King restaurant kitchen. A cook flips a burger.

PAN OUT to reveal cameraman, director, grips, lighting engineers - all human beings. “Burger King ad, take one” the director says.

Pan to the craft services table - all BK. A crew member eats & is happy.

BURGER KING. NEVER ARTIFICIAL.

The company behind the mcdonalds ad:

Imagine taking more time than it would take to do something traditionally. I bet it would take a builder longer to build a house out of jelly instead of brick, because jelly isn't brick.
Our team at The Gardening.Club have been pouring in the hours to achieve something that we finally feel ready to put our name to, and while AI film might be dividing opinions, we want to open the process up and reveal just how much human expertise and craft went into this campaign. There’s this idea floating around that AI will do all the work for us. Let’s set the record straight: the man-hours poured into this film were more than a traditional Production. Yes, this ad is 100% AI. But it was built with the same care that we bring to any live-action film. The brief was tightly prescribed, with a clear mandate for every single scene, so complete control of each shot was essential and pulled off by our team using proprietary workflows, and pulled off spectacularly well, this was not a prompt-and-pray process. Just like a traditional shoot, the film needed a director, real storytelling instincts, and intentional casting, we selected and shaped each AI performer, their look, energy, and emotional presence, to meet the brief just as we would in live action film. It required virtual location scouting, solid references, screen tests, and a countless amount of takes to maintain true cinematic continuity. Our in-house Gardening.club AI and Post team, spent seven intense weeks refining every single frame. They rebuilt shots, debated composition, shaped shadows, and tuned emotional microbeats with precision all overseen by Sweetshop director duo MAMA. Many scenes had ten or more specialists, with each shot running through a tightly engineered pipeline, Google Earth base plates, style-transfer passes, pixel-level refinements, custom LoRAs, control nets, and bespoke ComfyUI workflows. We composited, fixed physics, balanced lighting, and cleaned artifacts in Flame. New tools, same goal: a film that feels real. Of course, we came across roadblocks. There were many times we were challenged, but the team was able to problem-solve on the spot. This project demanded a team willing to push further than the tech was ready to go. But that’s exactly why it works. So no - AI didn’t make this film. We did.

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t...

and these are our closest allies!
Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization. In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children. Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.

Soooo...at the Baltimore Con I took a commission from someone who gave me a cool blank sketch cover to work on. They pre-paid and were supposed to contact me so i could send it to them after it was done. I haven't heard from them and now don't know what the hell to do! Hope they reach out!

Pneumonia has hit me hard. Over the past two months, I've lost almost $20k of work, and by the time we get to January, I'll only have three projects left.
Editors/writers/artists/publishers: if you're staffing new projects over the coming months, PLEASE keep me in mind as your letterer 🙏

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
