4 frame comic. characters are saying : November 13th marks the beginning of Trans Awareness Week. at least one in ten humans are trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming. Most of them on the planet don't have the privilege of safely transitioning or expressing themselves authentically. Making spaces explicitly inclusive of gender diversity can be the difference between life and death.

November 13th-19th is Trans Awareness Week.

4 frame comic. the first frame shows a tangram swan. text reads : 
they call it "aI", but
large language models (llm)
such as chatbots are far from
intelligent: they are pattern-
recognition machines that
churn out whatever might sound
like a reply to the thing you
last said.
2nd frame shows inside a data center. text reads : 
that distinction matters,
because the technology for
actual aI simply doesn't exist.
the only way for llm to get
better is to feed it more data,
transiting in bigger polluting
data centers, scavenged
always deeper into our
devices.
3rd frame shows a child blowing bubbles. text reads :
but once
the whole internet has been
fed to their llm, how can these
companies promise neverending
growth to their shareholders?

that's what makes "AI"
a bubble, kept afloat by
circular investments
and hype.
4th frame shows a chatbot logo. text reads :
llms need us to keep interacting
and coming back in order to grow.
they are sycophantic by design.
they amplify delusions and will
never disagree with you or
challenge your worldview.

it's ripping apart communities
for a few billionaires' hubris.

4 frame comics, where we see scenes from the 1936 olympic games in Berlin : the Berlin stadium, 5 women holding hula hoops in the shape of the olympics logo, athletes doing an obstacle course. the last frame is the 2028 Los Angeles olympic logo. the text reads :
the olympics have seen various
forms of gender policing since
the games of 1936 in nazi germany.

it was introduced as a way to
enforce the gender binary by
disqualifying people with inter-
sex characteristics or atypical
gender expression.
naked parades in front of a
jury, gynecological inspections,
chromosomal testing, certifica-
tions that only richer countries
could issue... these were all
attempts at gender policing by
the olympic committee between
1936 and 1996.
one after the other, these
practices were outlawed. they
were all found to be flawed,
misleading, humiliating, discrimi-
natory, racist, misogynistic.

since 2003, strict guidelines
have allowed intersex and
trans women to participate.
despite 20 years of inclusion,
there has only been one trans
woman who competed, not
winning any medal.

yet, we just learned that the I.o.C.
was looking into bringing back
gender policing to ban intersex
& trans athletes, in time for the
nazi germany olympics of 2028. 
oops, I mean united states.

Gratitude is a good thing regardless of responsiblity. That's why people move on from thankless jobs to jobs with lower pay & the same position description. Gratitude goes a long way towards making one feel appreciated.

Comic. Someone is claiming to predict the exact date of a future earthquake. Should you listen? [flowchart: start] β†’ NO (There are big earthquakes constantly, so if anyone ever *does* figure this out, it will be immediately obvious that their method works and then the world’s seismologists will not shut up about it. You won’t need this flowchart.)

4 frame comic. a street reporter approaches a man wearing a big hoodie, asking : sir! how much do you think
we should hold feminism
accountable for the male
loneliness epidemic?
he replies : 
there is no meaningful
difference between the
rates of loneliness between
men and women*. the reason
we're always talking about
men's is that they're making
it everyone else's problem.
A note under the frame adds : 
*in fact, several studies (graham &
ong, 2024; cigna & morning consult,
2021) suggest that more women
experience loneliness than men.
In the 3rd frame, he says :
according to research*,
the primary reason that
men isolate themselves is
because they feel incapable
of living up to rigid gendered
expectations. the far-right
exploits that vulnerability
to radicalize young men.
another note under the frame adds a source :
*the state of american men 2025,
equimundo: center for masculinities
and social justice.
in the last frame, he makes a peace sign with his fingers and says : if anything, feminism is
the solution to men's loneli-
ness. let's deconstruct the
gender norms that hurt every-
one, before these techno-
fascists divide us even more.

4 frame comic. a guy with a red cap asks Stephie : stop saying that
fascism is a right-
wing thing. what
about stalin or mao?
checkmate, leftist.

she replies :
authoritarianism
isn't a synonym of fascism.
fascism is ultra-nationalist,
whereas communism, with or
without the authoritarianism,
is against any form of
nationalism.

fascism is a conservative
ideology obsessed with
national purity that teams
up with big businesses to
maintain itself in power.
that's why it's considered
far-right.
but why do you care so
much? do you think fascism
would suddenly become
acceptable to left-wingers
if it had a leftist spin to it?
sounds like something that
someone who finds fascism
acceptable would think.
