This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

The kickstarter info for Comix Cleric, featuring the mascot Penelope infront of a blue background. The current raised amount is shown at 3,680 dollars.

Less than 24 hours in and we're humbled by the amazing support so far. This is WITHOUT sponsored ads or promoted giveaways. Why is this important to us?

This shows us that we were right, that people WANT Comix Cleric, and that people want to be able to host their own comics their way.
Thank you!

I am merely aiding the police in their inquiries, it is simply a way of passing the time for me, and the constables, they are gracious enough to accept my assistance, all unpaid, of course. If you, too, will humor me by joining the other guests in the parlor I would like to share some of my findings

Finland's Right-Wing Coalition Plans Fifty Years of Austerity Through National Debt Brake Finland's government wants public debt below 40 percent of GDP, forcing decades of cuts stricter than EU rules.

Social Europe published my piece on the Finnish government’s debt brake proposal.

The reform would cap public debt at 40% of GDP (now 88%). Until reaching this target, the debt ratio would need to fall by at least 1 p.p. per year.

It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Just How Bad Would an AI Bubble Be? The entire U.S. economy is being propped up by the promise of productivity gains that seem very far from materializing.

So I'll be honest, i'd seen this article floating around, but hadn't clicked through because the headline doesn't actually give me reason to expect anything I haven't already said elsewhere (in some cases, almost 2 yrs ago). But the METR study at the heart of the article is honestly kind of crucial…

A sketched comic wherein a stick figure has an idea, writes ”IDEA” on a piece of paper, and is gradually overwhelmed by the inabiliity to do anything with said idea, slowly sinking under the desk and presumably expiring (as we can see a spirit departing from under the desk). Caption reads ”And she never drew anything again. The End”

Twelve days before Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse (2024) was set to broadcast on April 15 across PBS stations nationwide as part of its strand American Masters, the filmmakers were told that a 90-second sequence—which shows the famous artist discussing an anti-Trump cartoon he created for the 2017 Women’s March newspaper—would be cut from the documentary.

Terrible.
