8 panel comic P1: A title panel; borderless. We see a highly stylised --and decidedly grompy looking-- frog sitting atop a lily pad. The overly exuberant title above them reads "Hello! FREG!" P2: A close up on Freg, as their mouth opens slightly, a look of realisation on their face. The text reads: "Oh! Freg has something to say!" P3 & 4: Back to the POV form the first panel, as Freg gradually hinges open their jaw impossibly wide, almost 180 degrees. P4: We dolly back, as an absolute ream of text spews forth from the open mouth. "Jumping no longer elicits the feeling of sheer joy in me like it did, once upon a time. However, jump I MUST, because what else can I do? You ask my, why, then, would I continue to jump? Dear reader, you may as well ask me the same of breathing." "To not jump is to admit defeat. To give up entirely." P6: We switch to a dramatic low angle, with a fish lens effect, as Freg stares up at the sky, which is filled with cotton candy clouds. P7: Freg --saying "I must away"-- "jumps" off the pad. I say "jumps" because Freg looks like they are simply being dragged by a computer mouse into the air. P8: We end on a borderless panel, far back from the lily pad. The only sign Freg existed are a few ripples in the water around the pad.

hello! freg!

Have you guys seen a cat lately?? Goddamn. Doesn’t get better than that

watching people get thrilled about stuff Australia is doing from a headline is wild. this isn’t so much a climate change win as it’s a government trying to appease people on cost of living while energy prices and inflation keep going up. same govt is green-lighting new mines and gas projects…1/2

A comic strip titled The Amazing World of Tomorrow. A food delivery robot cooler drives down a sidewalk. It crashes into a rental scooter. It backs up. It crashes into the rental scooter again. The scooter wobbles. The scooter falls to the ground as the food delivery robot backs up again. A driverless taxi crashes into both the scooter and the food delivery robot sending them flying.

The Amazing World Of Tomorrow

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

I don't quite have my thoughts in order on this subject, but I feel like AO3 is the anti-AI. You can't look at a 150-chapter slash fic that someone's been publishing weekly for the past 8 years and not be so radicalized by the beauty of human creation that you want to destroy all machines

If Harry Potter is more popular than trans people, that's an indictment of society, not trans people.

"Give up this hobby that is literally bankrolling our extermination" isn't a big ask tbh.

Last night I dreamt a word that's still rattling around my brain.

I can't remember details, but I remember indignantly saying, "This from someone whose panties twist elsterwise at the slightest inconvenience!"

I don't think I will ever stop wanting "elsterwise" to thrive in the waking world.

oh you’re a nihilist? name zero things that matter

Consistent! Person who says you’re not autistic gives you most shit for acting autistic The person in your life who’s convinced you’re not really autistic at all is also the hardest on you about every single autistic trait you exhibit, it has been confirmed.  Karen Hoyland, 58, who…

Karen Hoyland, 58, who insists you were just fine until you got this autism nonsense in your head, has stated that this is typical of you and your non-stop drama.

air traffic controllers have had it too good for too long IMO. up there in their towers, lording over us, deciding who lives and who dies.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

the best answer i got for this:

More than Meets the Eye🌱

Set of eight black and white photos, each one a blurry image of some part of a dark colored shorthaired kitten.

None of these are in focus, but that doesn’t diminish how much I love this set I have in which someone was trying to get a good photo of their kitten.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social • 11h "the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like. Cats of Yore @catsofyore.bsky.social • 11h I blocked some lady here two years ago and she still posts about it. About how horrible and unpleasant and mentally unwell I am. She has created a whole villain fiction about me. Ma'am I'm just posting old kitty photos. It's simply not important if I block you or anyone else. It's a fake problem. derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social • 10h "vintage cat photo lady has compromised her editorial standards."

8 panel comic P1: We are looking down at a tiny lil jumping spider, as it is dwarfed by the bare foot of a human standing out of frame P2: a low shot of the foot's owner, as he looks down with a look that says 'I know what must be done' P3: in silhouette --eyes blank-- the man rears hiis right hand back P4: a closeup of his hand as it careens downward P5: Back to the lil spider, looking up in fear as the shadow of the approaching hand looms ominously. P6: a side view of the hand as it screeches to a halt over the cowering spider P7: the hand remains in place, as the spider looks up in confusion P8: a closeup of the spider, as the hand gently pets them on the head.

hang in there
