A few years ago, I named as many movie recommendations as I could that would amount to roughly three hundred characters when listed together. Hoping that constraint would make my list practical enough for folks to actually use.
Now, limiting myself again to about three hundred characters, I'll name my highest-recommended #GraphicNovels, #ShortStories, and #TV shows (in alphabetical order, as before)...
A SMALL KILLING by Moore and Zarate
COSMOS—A SPACETIME ODYSSEY by Druyan et al.
COSMOS—POSSIBLE WORLDS by Druyan et al.
"Earth's Holocaust" by Hawthorne
FROM HELL by Moore and Campbell
PROMETHEA by Moore et al.
"The Artist of the Beautiful" by Hawthorne
"The Birthmark" by Hawthorne
UNDERSTANDING COMICS by McCloud
I've been developing this new recommendation list ever since I posted its predecessor, believe it or not. Investigating hundreds of titles, among the three types of media. Comparing and contrasting. Scrutinizing the close calls and trade-offs.
Making such a short list for books/novels or their equivalents (not counting graphic novels) might be too hard for me, though. It seems there are too many outstanding choices, in that medium, to pare down to only three hundred characters. Still, I'll at least think about that for the future.

Barbara:
"But if this sphere's, like, the highest human point, then what's above it?"
Boo-Boo:
"Well ... big, universal qualities. Universal will. Universal love."
Sophie:
"And what's above that? What's above universal qualities?"
Boo-Boo:
"Hey, let's cross that bridge when we come to it, okay? Let's cross that bridge when we get there and you find out there ain't no £$%&in' bridge!"🟣
Usually when I re-read something, it takes me less time than it did before since I'm already aware of its overall logic and organization.
But now I am re-reading #Promethea by #AlanMoore, JH Williams III, et al. And I think I'm going slower rather than faster—as desired subconsciously—because I know the devastating chapter with the Abyss lies ahead. I will eventually come to it.
Mr. Williams said drawing that twentieth chapter (out of thirty-two) actually made him ill.

El conocimiento es algo muy diferente a la información. La información son solo datos sueltos, mientras que el conocimiento es saber qué significan esos datos y cómo usarlos para entender el mundo.

"I was talking to my close #family, and we're as neurodiverse as hell. And I was talking to, I think it was probably my grandson, and also my daughter. We were talking about how apparently neurotypical people favor vertical/ hierarchical social arrangements. They feel more comfortable if there are people above them and people below them, and they know where they are.
#Neurodiverse people tend to favor more #horizontal social arrangements.
So I was thinking about this, and I came up with what I think is a brilliant solution: that we should #medicate the #neurotypical. [Douglas: "Exactly!!"] Because it's them causing all the problems, you know."

>> Wie ich Comics lese, bzw. meinen #Inhaltsverzeichniswahn pflege. Hier meine Übersichten zu #TomStrong Compendium 1 & 2 von #AlanMoore & #ChrisSpouse und vielen gleichgesinnten Mitkreativen. Gute-Laune-Abenteuer-Phantastik für die ganze Familie, u.a. mit Gastautoren wie #MichaelMoorcock, Ed Brubaker, Steve Moore, Paul Hogan und Leah Moore; und Gast-Künstlern wie Sergio Aragones, Peter Kupper, Michael Kaluta, Shawn McManus und und und.
Bisher keine deutsche Übersetzung. Mööp. Stünde bereit!!!

Das erste #TomStrong Compendium mit allen 36 Heften der Hauptgeschichte (1999-2006) gehört zum Schönsten, was #AlanMoore je geschrieben hat. Positive, verspielte Superhelden-Gaudi, entstanden ab 1999, als Moores Kinder im richtigen Alter für alberne Genre-Phantastik waren.
EDIT: Bescheidgeb @nisjasper. Hab mir nun Compendium 2 mit Kurzgeschichten nun als Selbstbelohnung nach Lebensweichenstellung (und Stadtwerke-Rückerstattung) gegönnt.

Part 26 of a series—things I've said here that seem worth repeating on their anniversaries, such as the following words from exactly two years ago.
"Notably, #AlanMoore has only ever written one tweet. Yet Twitter itself is no longer extant and Twitter's direct successor is vile. The Mastodon system—Twitter's indirect successor—is a much sweeter place. So, for the Mastodon system and related systems, I now repeat Moore's equally sweet tweet:
"'This is Life Eternal, right here. Be fulfilled, be happy, be kind, be in love, and never do anything that you can't live with forever.'"

Mit die schönsten Szenen von #PennyDreadful: wenn Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) und die Kreatur (Rory Kinnear) sich gegenseitig mit Lyrik trösten. Hier z.B. #JohnClare, der ›verrückte‹ Provinz-Poet, der auch in »Jerusalem« von #AlanMoore eine wichtige Nebenrolle spielt.

With #TheBoys returning for its final season, I've been checking out some other #GarthEnnis stuff, which led me to this story by #AlanMoore based on Ennis's "Crossed" series.
It's nothing new for Moore to take someone else's story and expand upon it in wonderful and unexpected ways. Apparently, this project was the result of a long conversation between Ennis and Moore about the series. Get yourself a friend like that!

Went to one of my favourite second hand bookshops today, because sometimes you need some escapist fun.
Love that Johnny Alpha. He's my dude.

The first version of V for Vendetta was a comic serial published by DC between 1992-95. In his 2003 retrospective film The Mindscape of Alan Moore, Moore said he wrote it to issue a literary warning to the people of Britain about the dangers of mass surveillance. Instead, he said, successive governments practically used it as a reference guide for how to ramp up authoritarian practices, and especially passive spying on their citizens.

"Brought to Light" on the Internet Archive
From Wikipedia:
Brought to Light: Thirty Years of Drug Smuggling, Arms Deals, and Covert Action is an anthology of two political graphic novels, published originally by Eclipse Comics in 1988. Both are based on material from lawsuits filed by the Christic Instituteagainst the US Government. The two stories are Shadowplay: The Secret Team by Alan Moore and Bill Sienkiewicz, andFlashpoint: The LA Penca Bombing documented by Martha Honey and Tony Avirgan and adapted by Joyce Brabner and Tom Yeates. Brought to Light was edited overall by Joyce Brabner, Catherine Yronwode acted as executive editor, and Eclipse publisher Dean Mullaney was the publication designer.Shadowplay: The Secret Team written by Alan Moore and drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz with an introduction by Daniel Sheehan (general counsel of TCI). It covers the history of the Central Intelligence Agency and its controversial involvement in theVietnam War, the Iran-Contra affair, and its relationship with figures like Augusto Pinochet and Manuel Noriega. The narrator ofShadowplay is an aging anthropomorphic American Eagle, a bellicose retired CIA agent.
As Moore's first major work which was not superhero oriented, it was highly praised for its storytelling and Sienkiewicz's sometimes brutal art. Moore received praise especially for blending the sometimes overwhelming mass of details into a coherent and effective story. Over the years there have been rumors that Moore was unable to travel to America due to the CIA being annoyed at his story in Brought to Light. However this was supposedly proved to be a rumor and the "real" reason was due to Moore not renewing his passport.[1]
The story of "Shadowplay" is of an unseen character (presumably representing the oblivious American public in first-person view of the reader) in a bar, where he is approached by a man-sized, walking, talking eagle. The eagle, from the emblem of the CIA, proceeds to drink alcohol and, in a drunken stupor, divulge all the bloody details of The Agency's sordid past. Early on a reference is made to the number of gallons an Olympic swimming pool can hold, and the fact that an adult human body has one gallon of blood; from then on, the victims of CIA activities (directly or indirectly) are quantified in swimming pools filled with blood, each pool representing 20,000 dead. Sienkiewicz's dark, erratic, and blurry images keep the mood of Moore's narration (through the boozing eagle) unnerving, and hazily nightmarish.

Ich glaub, ich bin ein bisschen verknallt in diesen Vorschlag von David Vinchar für den #Genre-Begriff #Necromodernismus für Romane von z.B. #MarkZDanielewski, #AlanMoore und #DavidFosterWallace.
»Literatur als Entropiemaschine, als eine Nekropole der Signifikanten … gebrochen, provisorisch, gespenstisch heimgesucht … Dies ist ein Schreiben, das im Leichnam des Romans west, ihn mit geisterartigen Signalen weiterhin am Leben erhält«, wie der Perlentaucher exzerpziert.

Popped to a nearby town for the first time in years and managed to spend some gift cards we've collected from birthdays as a result of some relatives who insist on giving them. Always nice to come home with new books.
I like Adrian Tchaikovsky so that was an easy purchase. To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars sounded like my sort of book and it was deliciously thick. The Great When sounded fabulous too.

Hari Kunzru quoting Alan Moore
'It is so important to reenchant these places that we live in, to actually give back the energies that have been bled out of them. An empowered landscape creates empowered people, and the reverse is also true. A disempowered landscape, stripped of its history, stripped of its meaning, will produce people who are stripped of their history, of their meaning'
