“You would not say ‘no’ to a better life.” My new nonfiction book is out today. It’s about motivation and mindfulness.

@Variety DC is by adults who know the adult world and adult perils, and they’re giving coded morality instruction to the next generation, so they can be stronger and better. This is relationship of Batman to Robin, for example. It’s not a peer-to-peer commiseration; that’s the Internet.

[Robert Piluso @RobertPiluso]

@Variety DC comics were always stories for smart pre-adults about how to be an adult. Miller gets that. Dark Knight Returns is about looking back on one’s aspirations for adulthood and being disenchanted, but not all media from DC needs to be the same theme or approach.

@FrankMillerInk @MidtownComics Congratulations! I’m three chapters in to PUSH THE WALL and loving it. Punchy ends to each chapter. Memoir wrote like noir.

@RichardERoeper This is why Ben Stein’s economics class is key to understanding the film as 80s allegory for consumerism. “Trickle down economics” saves no one, future is sold out, but it sure is fun to play grown-ups with friends in the boomers’ world of money and power.

@RichardERoeper I think Ferris’s motivations are more complex than that: it begins as Ferris’s typical selfishness, but Ferris’s goal for fun transforms, through spite to show Cam a good time, into genuine compassion. It’s fantasy of American capitalism helping the world: “voodoo economics.”

This is important new research to consider for people who want to think like and for themselves:

[Yekyung Kim @YekyungKim]

From op-eds in newspapers to NeurIPS position papers, AI is increasingly shaping long-form public discourse. Its arguments seem plausible, but beneath surface fluency, we find argument collapse: different LLMs converge to the same main & supporting arguments and structure.

@politicalmath When society gives up, it loses. Institutions of higher learning are for those who do not give up on themselves, or the future. This is what it’s been for thousands of years. A new tech for cheaters doesn’t destroy academia. Academia is not about tools, but human soul and dignity

@juaneferreyra Stunning. You get so much emotion out of the absolute cape, plus his longer hair. 🔥

[Robert Piluso @RobertPiluso]

@FicoOssio @UlisesArreolaP That’s absolute 🔥

@Variety KING CONAN YESSSS!!!

@BillyTucci Dropping the truth bombshells here, anyone wanting to get into comics, this is the reality. But if it’s worth it, it’s worth it.

@RealGDT I would love to see you direct this film! Fresh heat in book sales on the Count…

[Robert Piluso @RobertPiluso]

@omnicollector I feel like I’ve learned from reading both sides today—it’s cool to see readers philosophize about what makes two different forms different. Color printing costs and logistics are a MAJOR defining trait of western comics.

[Robert Piluso @RobertPiluso]

@Black_D_Gamer1 Absolutely, Comics Code had that effect but industry consequences were overall worse that everyone (be forced to) try to be Alan Moore, or: Movie Rough Draft. Now, things are popping off, innovating, and especially in indies! New is now.

@ManaByte Life doesn’t have to be either/or, enjoy it all

[Robert Piluso @RobertPiluso]

@vickyweberbooks Do it all! It’s fun to be precious and control the environment and control the writing but other parameters produce different effects! Happy writing!

[Robert Piluso @RobertPiluso]

@TheJoeySwoll That’s cool, man—It’s nice you inspire our young people to get fit, it’s a great impact out into the world. And kindness is cool. 🌎

[Robert Piluso @RobertPiluso]

@dveese Thanks for the heads up on this!

@grok @b2wicey @hamptonism @grok except I’m a human being in this scenario and I’m not memorizing 100 numbered people and then doing split-second math as they’re running away as to which one I pull the trigger. The answer is either true to human context, or not useful.
