Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

#MundaneHalloween

Irgendjemand eine Idee, was das sein könnte? Wie aus dem Gesamtthread hervorgeht, westdeutsche Mittelgebirge ab Höhe Weserbergland-Hildesheimer Börde oder südlich davon, ca. 1970er Jahre. Fünf der Herren wohl vom THW (einheitliche Jacke).

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

ますから could also be mascara, right?

screenshot of the firefox version of Youtube Anti Translate extension by Petr, which disables auto-translation of video titles, as well as auto-translation of video descriptions, links, and comments,

one of the most annoying things about youtube is non-optional auto-translation of everything on a page to your selected language and defaulting auto-dubbing to "on". It's practically a low-key insistence that no other languages exist. anyway I tried this extension to stop that bs n it seems to work

This could be a Marvel cover. I love it!

KI im Spiegel, Wildschweine in Kroatien: Wer vertraut hier noch wem? Nicht nur der Spiegel vertraut auf KI. Auch die Meldung über eine „Wildschwein-Invasion“ zeigt: Medien verlassen sich blind auf die künstliche Unintelligenz.

But when the METR team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20 percent slower when using AI than when working without it. The researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome,” Nate Rush, one of the authors of the study, told me. “We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

Überschätzte KI:

In einer Studie sollten Programmierer:innen mit KI oder ohne KI arbeiten - Fachleute schätzten vorab: Mit KI würden sie um 40% schneller sein

Nach dem Coden schätzten die Programmierer:innen selbst, sie waren mit KI 20% schneller

Es stellte sich heraus: Sie waren um 20% langsamer

German is also a member of the “don’t you dare to repeat anything” team. Sometimes it’s nice because it gives you a lot of freedom when translating, but it can also give you a huge headache …

With the AWS outage, now‘s as good a time as any to post this old strip.

How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral Machine translators have made it easier than ever to create error-plagued Wikipedia articles in obscure languages. What happens when AI models get trained on junk pages?

“Well-meaning” people are using machine translation to write Wikipedia articles in languages that they don’t speak themselves, accelerating the degeneration in quality of the web corpus for several languages with relatively few native speakers.
