Here's one I've never seen referred to - Max Bubba, who killed Wulf in Strontium Dog, looks like a man who's wearing a hood made of popped bubble gum - namely Hubba Bubba, which I think was given away with the comic once.

A photograph of Louis Bamberger, seated on the right, wearing a mustache and bowler hat, and his sister Caroline Bamberger Fuld, standing on the left, wearing a fur hat and shawl

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.

They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

Throw a "fuck" or "fucking" into your search to bypass the AI Overview

I've just found the best hack. Swear in your search request. It's a great way to bypass the AI summary and make your search history look like you're chronically pissed off at everything!

PAGLIACCI: Doctor, I’m depressed, and life seems cruel.

DOCTOR: Well, the treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him, and that should pick you up!

PAGLIACCI: Right, what I’m getting from you is that my show isn’t sold out

If all this stuff is worthless, mind if we just take it? How 21st Century tech is doing the old colonial grift all over again.

The AI industry’s seizure of other people’s property, declaring it to be worthless, then pricing it at a premium once “processed” through them, has a historical precedent, and it’s not a good look. Yup. It’s good old colonialism.

"What do you mean the sign about looking upon my works and despairing is still standing??? No! That's the worst possible - if the *works* are gone but the sign is still up then I'm gonna look like a fucken dickhead! Why didn't you make the works out of the same shit you made the sign out of?!"

Subtext will save us. The very best dialogue is where the characters are not saying what they're thinking, but there are enough clues for the audience to figure it out. AI would just copy the surface conversation, totally missing the nuance of what's really going on... at least, that's the hope.

So AI is being trained on our scripts? Then we need to fight back by making lots and lots of terrible scripts. From now on, if anyone accuses you of thin characters, plots that don't make sense or twists that don't work, just tell them you're fighting back against our robot overlords...

It’s me, @mariabamford.bsky.social I’ve just left Twitter. I’m a comedian and had used Twitter to connect with fans and other comedians. I’m not sure how to let people know I’m here. Ha-ha.
