Destination Venus sells comics in Harrogate!

Beautiful bowling from Suraj - India deserved that win. A drawn series is a fair result.

That said. Seven runs short. Damn

Cheering for England, but whoever wins this test will absolutely have earned it. Woakes deserves a medal

Come on folks, last chance! Don't miss out!

Absolute scenes at the cricket!

C'mon folks! Push to the end!

In Review: It’s Not Too Late for the Movies to Reject AI A dramatic week in the AI wars made it clear that the future is far from lost, and that we can't afford to fight for it on the tech community's terms.

Make something. Do it now. Doesn't matter if it's polished or not. Make something because nobody has ever seen the world the way you do, and nobody will again. Make something because art is simply that which is authentically expressed. Let beauty take care of itself

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

This is very concerning - fraud and identity theft. Both serious offences. I'm going to bet that nobody is held to account - this whole thing highlights why it really is better to buy books and art either directly from the creators or from independent stores who care about what they sell.

Congratulations!

Regie looks at the camera, motioning to the back issue section behind him. It is strewn with bagged and boarded comics waiting to be sorted and filed for customers to browse. Behind that you can see the rest of the store in all its decopaged glory.

We've been meaning to do this for aaaaaaaaaaages! Yes, we are finally bringing some order to the back issue section - and getting some more exciting and affordable back issues out of storage and into the shop come down and have a browse!

DuckDuckGo is my primary search engine for precisely this reason. Plus, while they have the same useless ai offerings as other search sites, they have one simple off toggle that’s easy to find and use

It's worse than that. Not only do they hate art, they want to insert themselves into the process of other people enjoying art so they can leach off what little money there is for themselves. 'AI' is nothing more than a useless, expensive middleman.

Can't argue with that.

A very happy Yorkshire Day to all who celebrate! Predictably it is raining here in Harrogate, so why not swing by Destination Venus this afternoon and pick up some wet weather reading?

Absurd post on X: "New study suggests a potentially hostile interstellar alien spacecraft measuring nearly 7 miles long could be on a trajectory toward Earth."

Hubble Space Telescope images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS are out! These were taken 5 hours ago. Plenty of cosmic rays peppering the images, but the comet's coma looks very nice and puffy.

I see grifters are lining up (especially Over There) to milk money out of "that interstellar comet might be an alien spaceship."

Here's the shocking secret: Comet 3I/ATLAS is a weird, fascinating, and (by all evidence) completely natural interstellar comet. 🧪🔭

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

You're welcome...

We are - Saturdays are 11am - 5.30pm. We'll look forward to seeing you!

We don't have an exact timeline - but it won't be long now. I'll message you as soon as we have anything concrete.

Coming to @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social? Like the Fantastic Four movie? Don't miss out on a print of this pivotal moment from the pen of the mighty @illaurastrates.bsky.social!

Many thanks! And of course you'll sell out!

This week's Strange New Worlds episode is perhaps the most meta thing I have ever watched. Absolute genius.

WE'RE WORKING HARD!!!!! hope u read it

Can I reserve one in advance? I never seem to get out from behind my table at TBubs...

This is good advice! But also, if you need help, I can't emphasize this enough, don't upload your novel to the plagiarism engine?

I keep forgetting to boost this. Please preorder this book! I’d love to keep making comics forever. 🙏
