Does the Ohio Michigan rivalry qualify as partisan politics?

YOU CAN CATCH ME IN THE STUDIO BANGIN OUT THE BEATS

First panel: Anti-AI superhero lady: YOU LIED, SAM ALTMAN. YOU PROMISED AI FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. next panel: Anti-AI superheroine punches AI robot in face while Sam screams in terror below holding a wad of cash. “YOU CAN’T BACKTRACK AND LINE YOUR POCKETS AT THE PEOPLE’S EXPENSE!” she says

Got this extremely top tier comic in the mail randomly from a local org (which clearly used to be pro-AI). Nothing I ever make will ever surpass this genius. #openai #samaltman #scamaltman #fuckai #comics
I also recently read this great article by @edzitron.com www.wheresyoured.at/openai-is-a-...

I’m so glad to hear that!! Especially since you’ve been following top shelf for so long. I hope it does become evergreen… 🌲👀 and thanks so much again. I’ll add a link to your review to my website!

“The narrative is not about the intellect, but is about emotions, impressions, and visuals. We have to feel as much as we read.” Better than I could have said it!!
And how I do love windsor mccay and moebius… good reminder to me to finally read my copy of the world of edena 👀

Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities.

Social Vulnerability Index At a glance Social vulnerability refers to the demographic and socioeconomic factors (such as poverty, lack of access to transportation, and crowded housing) that adversely affect communities that encounter hazards and other community-level stressors. These stressors can include natural or human-caused disasters (such as tornadoes or chemical spills) or disease outbreaks (such as COVID-19).
