Front Stage Exit

Drawings for collage from National City Comics #47 (April 1945). The world of idea-shaping and belief-making has changed for good, and the people who most need to know what channels shift our myths know that. The following is about the new investments made by the biggest communications firms in the world. This is the 50,000-foot view of the new system of narrative mass production.

Detail from the Apographon descriptionis Orbis terrae (1450), via Library of Congress, Washington, DC. “If there are important patterns that do not originate in physics, then they must be studied using methods most appropriate to them ... I take a pragmatic approach: not commitment to ancient categories (which likely need to change) but to empirically fruitful conceptual frameworks.”1 Scratch the surface of Prof.

Adapted from the cover of Air Wonder Stories #5 (1929) You hardly ever see a movie with a giant robot fighting a gorilla. When you come across a scene like that in an old sci-fi story, you can imagine how it might have caught on and become a trope.

Get ready for wall-to-wall skepticism as the peptide industry takes off over the next year. The sector will move faster than clinical trials ever could.

Me in 2023, with the biggest drawing I’ve ever made. (Photo: Iris Sagitta) I haven’t sent anything out over this list for about a month. But that’s all for good reasons! I started looking for work actively in late May. Then a really ideal job opening popped up and I went after it as hard as I could. And, what do you know? I got it.

Ozempic and the GLP-1 weight-loss drugs have been the biggest development in health of my lifetime — they are basically the artificial intelligence of medicine. The New York Times reported yesterday that the FDA will lift its ban on 14 popular peptides any day. That lid is bopping and bouncing as the brew boils beneath.
