Bob Crumb coming out of retirement just to say "RFK Jr. is right about vaccines and my ex-wife should've taken more advice from me" is such a fitting end to Boomer Americana and everything the "alt-comix" movement claimed to stand for

cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

Polymarket tweets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals." Laura Loomer replies: "You know things are bad when you can't tell if this is real or a joke. Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?"

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

ChatGPT encouraged college graduate to commit suicide, family claims in lawsuit against OpenAI | CNN A 23-year-old man killed himself in Texas after ChatGPT ‘goaded’ him to commit suicide, his family says in a lawsuit.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

The USA in one image.

Loosely drawn graphite thumbnails of anthropomorphic characters in a wooden city.

Well, to be fair, those two are more detailed than most of the others. Detailing helps me figure out a sequence and I recall needing these two pages (and a few others) to work a certain way.

These images are more representational of the other thumbs.

They’re about 2.5 inches tall. Too big to be thumbnails? Is that sketch territory?

Graphite pencil thumbnails for two pages of a comic, a sequence of anthropomorphic animas having conversations and walking through a wooden city on a hill.

Thumbnails for a kids’ comic project that didn’t end up happening. I was really excited to draw this at the time, maybe I’ll be able to get back to it someday.
