Being a Luddite Is Cool and All, but Have You Seen the Hilarious Tapestries These New Looms Are Making? Don’t get me wrong, I’m as invested in keeping my job as the next weaver. When the boss brought in that big new power loom, I was pretty skeptical....

"I’m pretty sure technological progress is a law of nature, like gravity or death. The power loom, as we know, is inevitable, preordained by God, who works His miracles through the hands of rich and wise inventors. It’s foolish to resist it."

So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that?

And then they grew up to be even worse?

Fuck the US Men's Hockey team to hell for their misogyny against the women's team. They could have been silent when the Genocidal Syphilitic Nazi Pedophile made his "joke" but they laughed along. I wish them all Egyptian curses and I am very sorry that Canada lost.

Watching a BBC live feed and they were talking to a friend and biographer of King Charles (Really???) and he said the arrest won’t affect the monarchy at all. The monarchy and the family are two separate things.
Except that’s not how they have presented the monarchy for decades.

Are the jobs of the future he is talking about the ones they want to replace with AI?
And basket weaving seems like a good skill people will need when the AI bubble bursts.

There is a large courtyard at my place and there is a small slope in one spot and daily a group of kids have been sledding there.
They are out again today with shovels. At first it looked like they were trying to recreate their slope but now they are just throwing up snow and watching it blow away

Disney Exec: Listen up Pascal, if this little show is going to be turned into a movie, you will be in movie! None of this, just your voice nonsense! You will be in the movie, helmet off, and I don’t care how many other projects you’ve working on!

On Presidents Day we honor George Washington, who in 1972 helped the McMann & Tate ad agency land the Whirlaway account, and Abraham Lincoln, who on Stardate 5906.4 will give his own life to save Captain Kirk from Genghis Khan, Col. Green, Zora and Kahless the Unforgettable.
