Civil Discourse Blob. Not Creeps, or Leaps or Slides. Very Nice.

a pretty big strike, for me, is if you run as an out of nowhere, insurgent candidate, and you film the cool video and everything and the entire time you have a tattoo that you have known was a Nazi symbol for at least 13 years. that is a sin of omission, to me

Oh so Platner is disqualified just because he got a tattoo that he didn't know was a totenkampf? and then in 2012 he identified it to people as a totenkampf, and kept it for thirteen years? and then he was posting homophobic and racist shit on reddit four years ago? huh? that we know so far? huh??

First time putting together a physical artifact in a while.

This was a test print so I printed it on poor quality paper (so there's some bleed through from page to page), but I'm loving the finished piece.

This should go out in PDF format over the weekend.

THIS IS EXACTLY CORRECT

Superman invents a world where he is *never born* but not a world where he *never exists,* because the people of that world eventually, in his absence, invent the fictional character of Superman

He should run on how good he is at covering up murders.

“trust with Republicans,” that thing all Democratic voters cherish

learning that my 6 year old daughter bullied a 40 year old man over his cybertruck at school pickup today

Excruciating meme from the 2020 election that portrays Joe Biden vs Trump as the Avengers

Need that Eternal Sunshine procedure to remove this shit from my memory

the most interesting anecdotes about LLMs to me have been the programmers who had no hype but earnestly believed all the marketing that it'd improve their workflow that extensively tried to implement various tools to little success, only to be bewildered by the religious devotion pro-LLM pushback.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

woke up with the phrase "casting dispel on my haters in the dungeon of success" dancing in my brain

Off to go start what the GM (er... Firefly) is calling Chapter 2 of our Wildsea game. Deeply in love with this system. Can't wait to see what triggers my neurotic ghost moth's next panic attack.

I'd love to know how much money is involved here, and how many recently laid off Iowa workers salaries would've been paid by the same.

My favorite Leftists!

Midnight Mass. Which is maybe my fav

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

Spending 25 bucks on a ticket, and the junk food that keeps theaters afloat to watch the most derivative wooden slop every created.

No one will bother paying money to see this shit on a mass scale

At the bottom it says to test it by spraying it in a plastic cup next to its competitors, it'll melt the cup while the competitors sit in it lie water.

The pinnacle of graphic design

last 15 years feel like an experiment in putting individuals who don't know why people see movies in charge of getting people to see movies

New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

Completely unhinged, but also probably correct?

I don't give a fuck about the white house. Fuck that house.

then we'd cut to Batman and he'd look right at the reader and say "I think that was cool and I endorse it happening to real Nazis in reality. that's right I know about reality. I am a comic man stuck in a comic."

anyway my outline for the series, which after the first year is not under NDA, ended with Red Hood assassinating the president on live TV

You know, whatever else there is to say about DC comics firing me, I have to say it felt deeply satisfying to tell a suit, "I get it, it's important to keep the faceless mob of Nazis happy"

I'm pretty allergic to doomerism but the closest I get is when I see teachers talking about how bad it is out there. Does nobody really know how to read or write anymore

mfs be like "how do you expect to get men onto the left if you are constantly demonizing things which are universally loved by all men" and the thing in question is hitler
