Here come the twits

In brief:
  • 21:17 Mind. blown. "By now the DC and Marvel Universes are the largest narrative constructs of human culture." Discuss. bit.ly/aoDMOT #
  • 10:35 I have always subscribed to the Balloon Animal State Machine school (thx @SpecGram). bit.ly/aqh8eS #
  • 11:50 Top 10 things men can do to prevent gender violence. bit.ly/da4Ylu (but missing #0: DON'T ABUSE WOMEN.) #
  • 13:35 have you read the words? fantastic Chick-style pamphlet for Art: bit.ly/bkmuPm #

I often use twitter to mention what's happening or linkdump. I LT here for posterity.

re: #1/rozk: the academic book I'll be translating has a little sum'in' to do with that.

I hope you can give me a prospectus, because that sounds neat. (I find Rozk a bit hard to follow in that interview but I am sort of jumping into the middle of a conversation.)

I keep thinking of large narrative constructs (the Odyssey, the Bhagavad Gita, Guiding Light etc) and thinking "oh, there's another contender for 'largest'" and then I realize that Action Comics alone has more story than any of those, never mind Detective Comics -- and that's just Superman and Batman respectively. It really does seem to be true, doesn't it?
