Can’t believe it’s Desert Bus time again.

Going live in ~20 minutes, and then staying live for like a week.

4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one. (3) Today [two people between big car and even bigger car] PERSON 1: Everyone has huge SUVs now. If I don’t get the biggest one, I’m putting my family at risk. (4) Soon [two people next to large armored car with spiked clubs attached] PERSON 2: If I don’t install more whirling spike clubs, I’ll be destroyed by all the other drivers who...

"Other people have no interiority, and are just services I can access to make myself feel better" is a pretty keen insight into how these people think

oh boy. all these years I was telling angry people in my comments to "read the post again and really think about what was said there" before blocking their ass I was asking the impossible

4-panel comic. (1) PERSON 1: Some people like to be the big spoon. (2) PERSON 1: Some people like to be the little spoon. (3) [two sets of spoons that don’t lay flat against each other, one arranged with the little one on top of the big one, the other with the big spoon on top of the little spoon] PERSON 1: And some brave truth-tellers point out that the metaphor makes no sense because different-sized spoons don’t nest right *either* way. You nest *same*-sized spoons. (4) PERSON: ...And apparently *we* sleep on the couch. PERSON 2 off-screen: Why are you *still* going on about the spoon thing? PERSON 1: Because I’m *right!*

the way basic human decency hits these days is crazy

i feel so bad for artists who now have to deal with accusations that their work is ai

Its so demeaning to the life of work they put into their art, and it must suck to have to argue that your work is in fact your own.

If you can draw, that's really cool, I think you are great.

I can’t decide if the AI-generated part is worse, or if the user-generated part is worse. You expect people to pay for this??

lmfaooo

Expanding on this, and addressing the most common reply:
The fan theory “James Bond is just a title” is ALSO continuity and ALSO unnecessary.

Batman (1966), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Batman (2022) are all JUST BATMAN, and that’s FINE.

You can just have the character exist in different eras.

The start of this year's Desert Bus, featuring 3D sections of desert road circling around and flying off into the distance.

It's that time of year! The @desertbus.org charity event starts this Friday and once again I'll be making the poster for it!

Every year I watch the entire week long event and add their antics to the poster over time, which you can buy!

If there is anything positive about this debacle, it's the massive wave of devs who have come out in response to this to say "actually we use human artists and always will".

You love to see it.

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.

the decision to really just abandon moderation and let it rip suggests that this is what meta wants for its platform. this is the final, idealized form of the product

Here's a massive scoop from Ed showing OpenAI has been lying about their revenue for years

yeah it's a good thing Landon didn't publish any of this shit. the Times might have had to bump an article about trans people.

bsky.app/profile/arid...

Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.
