I read comics since the late 70s, and stopped in the mid 90s when big media conglomerates got involved. The people at the top of a comic publisher , the ones who genuinely gave a shit, were replaced by dutiful corporate stewards who lived by one evangel: Line must go up. So these geniuses had a bright idea: Variant covers. The same story, but with 5 or 6 variant covers. Nothing else special. It was the same story, no "extras", just a different chromatic 3D cover. Months later, these variants would be found in 50 cent clearance boxes. Nobody wanted them.
Flash forward to the dawn of the MCU. Many of us long time Marvel fans had dreamed of films being made of our favorite heroes and villains. In 2008, Iron Man kicked everything off, and it was a ride from there. (Author's note: I'm not going into the whole bloody timeline and all the phases, because my ADHD took one look at that wiki page and went "Aw hell naw!") All of this led up to Avengers Infinity War and End Game. This, in my opinion, was the bow. The perfect end for an amazing journey.
I'm feeling Avengers: Doomsday is a variant cover. But, hey, maybe I'm just jaded.
How GenAI is taking true fans activity – and creativity – to the next level
Walled Culture has written a number of times about the true fans approach – the idea that creators can be supported directly and effectively by the people who love their work. As Walled Culture the book explains (available as a free ebook), one of the earliest and best expositions of the concept came from Kevin Kelly, former Executive Editor at Wired magazine, in an essay he wrote originally […]

In a watershed moment for Hollywood and generative artificial intelligence, Disney said on Thursday that it would buy a $1 billion stake in OpenAI and bring its characters to Sora, the A.I. company’s short-form video platform.

Gen AI is slowly producing the Library of Babel -- in which all books exist, but it is mostly an overwhelming plethora of nonsensical books, so that finding the useful becomes hopeless due to lack of searchability. #NoAI

Asked about the #EpsteinFiles, #Trump attacks #reporter
The same reporter who asked earlier about #Khashoggi asked Trump why he is not releasing the #Epstein files now, rather than waiting for #Congress to vote.
Trump responded: "It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions."
He added "You're a terrible person & terrible reporter."
He added that he thinks #ABC's license should be taken away.
You know #BrendanCarr is at the ready
#Trump said that broadcasting licenses used by affiliates of #Disney's #ABC should be "taken away" after he didn’t like a question posed by an #ABCNews reporter for the network in the Oval Office.
Trump made the comment after a reporter for ABC News asked Trump about the Jeffrey #Epstein political scandal.
Among the old British Celts, a newborn prince would often be given to another family to raise until he became an adult. In some early King Arthur stories, Arthur is raised by the fairies. In later stories, he's instead raised by Sir Ector, the father of Kay (Arthur's best friend).
