The ideal business model is a worker-owned cooperative, like the Mondragon Corporation in Spain. Here's my Throne profile: https://xitter.cf/t.co/4KzHAiuFVO

I’m working on a comic titled #KingSlayer: A Tale of Fatherhood & Regicide, an ultra-violent comic about monarchy, democracy, and revolution. I’ve only got 10 pages finished so far (not counting the cover), but I would love to get some feedback on the comic and see what people think. I‘m planning on making a video game eventually, but video games are harder to make than comics, so I figured this would be a good way to start building a community so there would be an established fanbase by the time the video game launches. I can proudly say that no AI was used in the making of this comic. Everything was 100% drawn by human hands. I commissioned artists to draw the comic for me, since I lack confidence in my own artistic ability, but nothing you see in the comic came from AI. #WEBTOON #Webcomic #IndieComics #ComicArt #Anime #Manga #chibi webtoons.com/en/canvas/kings… #WEBTOON

Watched “Clayface.” I wasn’t familiar with the character from DC, but I enjoyed the film. I’ve always loved the science fiction films of the 1950s and ’60s, particularly those about lonely men who gradually transform into something monstrous through scientific experiments, accidents, clinical trials, and the like. Richard Matheson’s novel “The Shrinking Man” (1956), and films such as “The Fly” (1958) and “4D Man” (1959). The facial disfigurement also reminded me of “Eyes Without a Face” (1959), “The Face of Another” (1966), and “The Skin I Live In” (2011). As a body horror film, “Clayface” will undoubtedly be compared to “The Fly” (1986) and “The Substance” (2024). But this is the story of a method actor who can become anyone through his performances, only to suffer a disfiguring facial injury and eventually gain the extraordinary ability to physically transform into anyone. Whether you see it as the story of a man who takes his revenge and descends into villainy, or as a tragedy, changes the very face of the film. While I was there, I also picked up a reprint of the original theatrical pamphlet for “The Man Who Stole the Sun.”

Los Angeles’ta üç ev arkadaşıyla birlikte yaşıyorum, çünkü kirayı bölüşmek daha hesaplı. Dünyanın en zengin adamının kızı olmama rağmen ortada bana kalan hiçbir miras yok. Adım Vivian Wilson. Elon’ın ilk eşi Justine’den olan çocuklarından biriyim. 2022’de 18 yaşına bastığımda mahkemeye başvurup adımı değiştirdim. Dilekçeme açıkça yazdım: Biyolojik babamla hiçbir şekilde, hiçbir şartta bağımın kalmasını istemiyorum. Bundan iki yıl sonra babam çıkıp bir röportajda, çocuğunun "woke zihin virüsü" yüzünden öldüğünü söyledi. Ona cevabım gecikmedi; kendisinin ilgisiz ve narsisist biri olduğunu söyledim. İnsanların çoğu hala babamın parasıyla yaşadığımı sanıyor. Ama öyle değil. New York dergisine de söylediğim gibi: "Elimin altında yüz binlerce dolarım yok. Üniversite pahalı, öyle bir mirasım da yok." Yemek yiyebiliyorum, arkadaşlarım var, başımı sokacak bir çatım ve biraz harçlığım var. Hepsi bu. Maddi bağımsızlığımı ancak 2025’te Teen Vogue dergisine kapak olduktan sonra kazandım. Şimdi modellik yapıyor ve New York Moda Haftası’nda podyuma çıkıyorum. Babam yüz milyarlarca dolara sahip. Ben ise kirayı dört kişiyle bölüşüyorum. Milyarder bir babanın parasını elinin tersiyle itmek güç mü, yoksa sadece gurur mu? Ben böyle mutluyum.” dedi…

France is showing the world what real accountability looks like. Paris prosecutors have launched a major criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s X, raided its Paris offices and summoned Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino for questioning. The allegations are staggering, political manipulation through algorithms, child sexual abuse material, sexually explicit deepfakes generated by Grok without consent, Holocaust denial, unlawful data extraction and election interference. While Musk parades around pretending to be a defender of free speech, his platform faces allegations involving the exploitation of children, the sexual abuse of women through AI-generated imagery, the manipulation of political discourse and threats to democratic elections. Bravo, France! This is what standing up to billionaire arrogance looks like. Democracy is not a billionaire's personal playground, social media platforms are not above the law, and Elon Musk does not get to buy himself immunity from accountability. France is making it clear that the rule of law still matters, and the rest of the democratic world should be paying attention.

Here’s a story for you. We started filming without owning the title and had to do alternates. Taft Broadcasting owned the title Ghostbusters as part of their half-hour sitcom starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (F-Troop) and a gorilla chasing ghosts. I had never heard of it. They didn’t have proton packs or Bill Murray. Columbia paid $500,000 to buy the name, but they really should have paid Dean Martin, from whom I first heard the term. In the film Scared Stiff (1953), he and Jerry Lewis (check out his acrobatic stair descent) are in an old haunted castle, and Lizabeth Scott asks Dean: “Who are you guys?” And Dean answers: “You’ve heard of Trustbusters and Gangbusters, we’re Ghostbusters!” For my research writing the first movie, I watched every single ‘ghost’ comedy ever made. Bowery Boys, Hope and Crosby, Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis all did such films. Happy Halloween 2026.

He passed around 5:58pm tonight, surrounded by family. We all were there and so many visited. Thank you all for your kindness.
The chemo didn't work, they will be bringing my brother home, for him to hopefully pass in peace with my family. I will keep you all updated if I need to change my schedule. I'm sorry.

GOG wants to bring physical PC games back. The idea is to let players buy boxed versions of games directly from their GOG library and have them delivered to their homes. “We need to think about logistics. We need to think about storage,” The company would also need approval from publishers to produce and sell physical copies. GOG has been discussing the idea for years, but there are still plenty of challenges to overcome. “I really hope that at some point we will be able to do it,”

Rep. Jim Himes reveals what CLASSIFIED intelligence briefings show about the midterms. “I've had classified briefings as recently as 72 hours ago.” Himes says intelligence officials have seen “precisely zero evidence” that Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea can interfere with the mechanics of voting.

🚨 JAMIE RASKIN SENDS A MESSAGE ahead of the midterms: “There's no power to shut down the election.” “There is no power just to come in and seize ballots. There's no statute that permits that.” Raskin explains why state election officials are preparing to defend the vote against potential federal interference.

Trump and Elon Musk can't get their story straight on who tamped down the speed of satellite connections for Ukraine, but it put lives at risk. If the world's richest person is making our national security decisions, Americans deserve to know. So we can put a stop to it.
