4. "that's right, I did the Iggy!"
4. "is this the end of zombie Shakespeare?"

I can’t fathom how anyone could enjoy watching themselves on TV. I get hives even seeing myself in the background of a photo.
Jesus Christ, this is more dystopic than anything Philip K Dick ever wrote but it’s what the Russo Brothers want for your AI Slop future
![“Potentially, what you could do with [AI] is obviously use it to engineer storytelling and change storytelling,” Russo said. “So you have a constantly evolving story, either in a game or in a movie or a TV show. You could walk into your house and save the AI on your streaming platform. ‘Hey, I want a movie starring my photoreal avatar and Marilyn Monroe’s photoreal avatar. I want it to be a rom-com because I’ve had a rough day,’ and it renders a very competent story with dialogue that mimics your voice. It mimics your voice, and suddenly now you have a rom-com starring you that’s 90 minutes long. So you can curate your story specifically to you.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cbhnuflsctq2s7mu4iqcuauq/bafkreibajgqyg4mppmj4b3qgyk2tiwop57qov5gb2zakfsv7iyvqe4uh5q)

I already signed up to be notified when it launches. My teen might actually read this as he prefers OGNs to serialized singles. Whereas I’ll read anything by @manruss.bsky.social regardless of format.
The Forgotten Divine kickstarter launches NOW. One of the best & most personal stories I've ever written. Because it's a weird length (not one page too few or too many) we are bringing it to you like this. If you have enjoyed my work in the past, please check it out. Amazing artwork by Russ Braun.
Get ready for THE FORGOTTEN DIVINE, a brand new satirical sci-fi drama comic from @manruss.bsky.social and #RussBraun.

I don’t understand people who think creatives need help generating ideas. I need help eliminating ideas, not making more!
People who aren’t writers think writer’s block is at least as big and real a problem as I thought quicksand would be, as a child.
AI can help authors beat writer’s block, says Bloomsbury chief
Publisher last week reported jump in revenue in academic and professional arm thanks to AI licensing deal

As DC Vertigo is coming with his classic logo, let's all praise its designer, the great RICHARD BRUNING.
He was DC art director for years and thanks to him we have Watchmen, The Dark Knight or The Killing Joke designs...

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.
We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.
That's the revolution.
