A four-panel comic in black ink on a white background. Panel 1: a white woman with a big bun is seen from the waist up from the side, sitting at a desk, eating a shortbread finger while working on a computer. There is a big mug with steam coming out of it on her right, and a plate of shortbread fingers on her left. The caption reads: “ FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS IN MY 20’s I PRETTY MUCH LIVED ON SHORTBREAD & YORKSHIRE TEA.” Panel 2: a close-up of the woman’s mouth chewing, a second shortbread finger ready to be eaten showing in the bottom left corner. The caption reads: “I HATED MY JOB AND CUSHIONED MY DESPAIR WITH THE COMPANY’S ENDLESS SUPPLY OF SNACKS.” Panel 3: the woman is dead, her eyes crossed out, as a giant fork coming from above has stabbed her in the back. The caption reads: “IF A CREATURE FROM ABOVE HAD HAD THE KINDNESS TO PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY,” Panel 4: a giant godzilla-like monster’s mouth is about to eat the woman, who is impaled on the giant fork. The caption reads: “I WOULD HAVE MADE A GREAT MEAL - ALL BITTER, SWEET, AND BUTTERY.” The comic is signed in the bottom right corner by its author, Cath Kastner

Short comic I made to procrastinate on a longer one.

is the ai bubble popping well don’t worry im all about quantum computing now and uh, whatever it is that it does and however it functions

its im asuming a bookstore with those words in the front on a poster

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA.
MARRY BOOKS.
KILL AI.

yeah this stuck with me too. totally different kind of brain in there. which is kind of the point of the vampire characters and the stories themselves

anyway modern day cloned vampires have to religiously take a special class of drug called “anti-euclideans” to prevent this glitch from wrecking them

lol this one’s a *very* deep cut, tried to read people in a bit in the replies

it’s… delightful. one of the funnest bits of speculative evolution in all of science fiction.

the firefall books feature an biologically realistic rendering of a human subspecies called “vampires” that, among other evolutionary quirks, suffer grand mal seizures when they see perfect right angles. caused them to go extinct around the time civilization arose—couldn’t get near their food

sorry im reading peter watts again

im glad america is gearing its entire economy toward the infrastructure project of putting big plates of milk out in the sun

“we can’t afford to go backwards” buddy what if i told you we were never forward

I love how I always check timestamps like “surely nobody said something that stupid *today*”

ive been using chatbots for word cloud type output when bootstrapping on a foreign technical topic. strictly non-creative stuff. but tonight i was watching Pluribus with my parents and explaining some themes along with vince gilligans anti-ai stance and the statement he put in the credits and i uh... found myself getting emotional? like choking up a little? anyway just deleted all that shit

A shot from the star trek show. For some reason all the crew have either fallen on the ground or are draped dramatically over their chairs. They appear to be drugged, possibly dead

my brain cells:

I think you did it, congrats
