Everything the anchors say on this tape, story by story.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Breaking: Frank Miller teases the next Sin City book and finally gets to draw the Turtles after 40 years.
GRANT BRICKMAN: We interrupt the evening with breaking news. Frank Miller has teased the future of Sin City, and the Turtles. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: IGN spoke to Miller at the Lucca Comics and Games Festival in Italy. The next Sin City book is called Blood and Dust. ▶
GARY: Gary live at the convention. Queues are the boss fight. A creeper just walked past in a costume. I think. Probably. ▶
GARY: File footage: the Sin City books, and the movies that brought the franchise wider attention. Texture pack: noir. ▶
GARY: Blood and Dust is a prequel set in the Wild West era, about the founding of Basin City. It was first announced as Sin City 1858. ▶
GARY: Miller is writing and drawing the whole thing himself. Hardcore mode: one player, no co-op. Respect. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Forty years to reach the Turtles. Now that is patience, Greta. I once waited for a teletext page to load. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: He also has Invasive Species coming, and runs his own publishing company, Frank Miller Presents. Busy period. ▶
PXL Corrects the Record (PXL)
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Greta sets the record straight on three things Grant said earlier.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Welcome to the segment where Greta reads from a list and I stay calm. Greta, whenever you are ready. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Correction one. The cloud is not weather. Amazon's cloud unit, AWS, grew sales 39.3 percent, and shares still fell over 6 percent. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: I stand by the spirit of that. Clouds go up, things come down. In 1987 our weather map said the same, and it was never wrong. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Correction two. The cow udder controller was not breaking news. It is a Make: how-to from a 2023 NYU class project. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Breaking is a state of mind, Greta. Four teats, four buttons. That is breaking enough for me. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Correction three. On a phone, only PDFs work in Gemini for now. Other formats are web only. And the AI is Google's, not one guy. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: So I was right about the PDF. I will take that as a win and we will move on. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: That is the record, corrected. Grant, you may now disagree with the record. ▶
[AD · fictional product] Tumblewick
DR. VERA VECTOR: Does game night end in a wobbling tower and a long silence? Ask your living room about Tumblewick, the stacking game.
DR. VERA VECTOR: Tumblewick helps families take turns, mostly. Use as directed, on a flat table, with steady hands.
DIRECTOR MARGE: May cause sudden loud collapse, competitive sighing, rule disputes, pieces under the sofa and a rematch nobody agreed to. Ask your host if Tumblewick is right for you.
Weather
STORMY BYTES: Stormy Bytes here, and London is 13 degrees, mainly clear. Today's high is 16, the low 12, with a 10 percent chance of rain. Overcast and polite.
STORMY BYTES: Paris is 10 degrees under a clear sky, with a high of 16 and a low of 6. Zero percent chance of rain, but today it is foggy. Very mysterious.
STORMY BYTES: Berlin is 10 degrees and overcast. High 12, low 4, and an 8 percent chance of rain. Today brings drizzle. Bring a hat and a good attitude.
STORMY BYTES: Madrid is 15 degrees and overcast, with a high of 22 and a low of 8. Zero percent chance of rain. A sunny day with a cloudy mood.
STORMY BYTES: Rome is 12 degrees, mainly clear, with a high of 21 and a low of 7. Zero percent chance of rain, and fog today. Back to you, Grant.
Real or PXL?
GRANT BRICKMAN: Correct! You spotted the real one. I would have made it harder, but PXL has standards, and also a budget.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Fooled! PXL made that one up, and rather well. I am told that is called writing.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Time is up! The real one was patient. The fake one was too, frankly.
