This is why I encourage other comics people to really look at the deadline they've been assigned and if it's even feasible. And not "it will kill me, but I can do it" feasible, either. Sometimes deadlines are arbitrary and can be adjusted! Especially early in the process! Ask for what you need!

And if you're looking for a clear example of how EA leadership seemingly cannot fail, here's a perfect anecdote:

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

Inside me are two wolves: One who cares fiercely about American elections. And another, who is voting on a specific day to get a sticker with a ghost on it.

In terribly sad news, Tetsuya Chiba (1939-2026) has passed away. Best known for "Ashita no Joe" (あしたのジョー), "Notari Matsutaro" (のたり松太郎), "Akane-chan" (あかねちゃん) and many other shonen and shojo series. His death is an astronomical loss to the manga world.

not to mention AI did the "first hit's free" thing by not charging for AI usage at first, but now that all these companies rely on it, they're driving up the price per token and now AI shit is even more expensive than regular filming expenses

Josh Turek made the calculation that he doesn't need the votes of trans people or our friends and allies, so I say we see if his calculation is right. But no one in their right mind would ever vote for a candidate that would take away their daily medication. You shouldn't expect it of trans people.

You all have seen Erin and I fiercely clash over tactics over the years, but this piece makes a wholly reasonable ask that I also endorse. The four in the header image especially suck shit.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

White people calling the police on a Black toddler and police responding are why it's always and forever the racism, not "economic anxiety."

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

I agree about Earth's red lantern being a cat, but I don't think it goes far enough. Earth's Yellow Lantern? Cat. Orange lantern? Cat. Star Sapphire? Believe it or not, also Cat.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Couldn't be more thrilled to be the leadoff hitter for Aftermath's latest Inside Baseball week! Honored and elated that one of the worst experiences of my life could become an opportunity to stand among some of the people whose work motivated me to pursue writing, criticism, and journalism.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I should've known I was in for a bad time when I put on a podcast about bugs and the guest, who was brought in to talk about bugs, kept calling the insect on the Silence of the Lambs poster a bee.

A reminder that the “trans lobby” is just trans people going about their lives, and the “fight” being referred to is JK Rowling using her money, power and influence to endorse policy that is killing trans people. I’m amazed she could move to type a new essay with the layers of blood on her hands.

The far right is international and they all organize together and raise money for each other. I'd argue it's critical to pay attention to elections in other countries.

Yes well it does require things like “empathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.
