Now that all of Issue 1 is shipped, I’m logging off to finish Issue 2! It’s projected to be 2x the size of #1, so our goal is $600 to cover production. All who pitch in get original art from the book + an early digital copy!

Bucephalus, Missouri, first chapter of the history of the Missouri Ozarks as told to Herbert Judd of the Federal Writers Project.

Written and illustrated by me!

AND (like a big kid) I have an actual store page now!

In a stunning announcement from the Oval Office, President Trump reveals that he is dead, that we’re all dead. God has abandoned us and the place we thought was the world is actually hell. We go live now to Wolf Blitzer in the Situation Room,

Didn't realize it was already over!

Were people really saying it would lead to his removal from office?

New profile pic for a darker time

Hey, uh, so OpenAI loses 23% of their paying subscribers after 6 months? Isn't that a pretty high churn rate?

I guess it's better than Anthropic losing 42% of them, lmao

DEI stands for ‘doesn’t explode incandescently’ and we are getting rid of that feature

ROOSE Casey, despite the fact that we are both fairly struck by the sophistication and the capabilities of these A.I. tools, there are a lot of skeptics out there — people who don’t believe that these things are doing much more than just predicting the next word in a sequence, who don’t think they’re capable of any kind of creative thinking or reasoning, who think that this is just fancy autocomplete and that the limitations around these tools will somehow turn this whole A.I. thing into a flash in the pan. What do you make of that argument? NEWTON Well, I think we already have enough evidence to know this is not a mere flash in the pan. A.I. companies are doubling their revenue year over year or growing even faster than that. Businesses are hiring them to solve real problems, and they keep spending more. So that suggests to me that those customers are seeing real results, that this has moved out of the experimental stage. At the same time, there are so many reasons to critique A.I.

For real, if your go-to response to "does this actually live up to the hype" is "it must, because money keeps being spent on it," then you, individually, might be well-served by outsourcing your "thinking" to a computer, but please quit trying to project your inadequacies onto thinking people

[Dropping my pants and taking a loud, wet shit in front of a Starbucks' window] "I bet those unserious critics in the coffee shop will 'love' this one, haha!"

“You should have double-checked that gravel pit, Kristi.”

"that would require me to speak on behalf of the president which i will not do" lady, you're at the podium for one reason

Trump appointee: throw me a bone here, give me something to work with

DOJ: absolutely the fuck not

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

Interesting times incoming for MAGA Catholics discovering that there will be no exception for Based African Priests and that parishes and theological faculties will suddenly be in freefall

This is a man whose son committed suicide by cop after OpenAI “killed” his chatbot “girlfriend.” It makes me feel completely insane.

"average philadelphian kills 3 people a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average philadelphian kills 0 people per year. Murders Ben, who lives in Beit Aghion & kills over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Members of the legal academy need to be writing detailed proposals for how to punish the Trump regime for its handling of the Abrego Garcia case when Bukele inevitably doesn’t return him. This is drastically new territory and I have yet to see any evidence we have the tools to handle it.

musk not liking this demonstrates that literally every single person who thought they could use trump got played. literally all he did was loudly proclaim he was going to do this and everyone assumed they could make him god-emperor of the global economy without him doing it

What’s wild is that none of these guys would say “happy to contribute to the greater good” if this was about raising their taxes 0.01% to pay for a universal free school lunch program, they just say it about the thing that doesn’t help anyone and is being done for no reason

LOL

Loser mentality coupled with a complete ignorance of even recent history. The GOP had their civil war after Obama and it led to an angrier and leaner ideological machine that dominated american politics. Get these hacks out of here!

It’s sad but pretty funny that the DOGE guys clearly went in with a mission to ransack the woke university but have had to settle for gutting medicine and STEM after discovering the humanities and social sciences had no money to take

Like, ok say by some miracle the Senate decides "Oh shit this is getting out of hand."

The damage is done. There is a constituency for dictatorship. John Thune isn't going to convince the 30% of voters who like vandalism to rediscover liberal virtue.

On Monday, the president told the country that he might not be the best choice of successor. On Tuesday, the Pope called him out for falsely teaching a doctrine. What happens to JD Vance tomorrow? Can't wait to find ou

Rough week for Vance and it's only Tuesday
