It’s fall 2020. People are dying left and right. Me and my staff all have PTSD. I watch a charge nurse rip a cop up one side and down the other because he won’t wear a goddamn mask.
Now ICE is wearing masks to hide from us all. Assholes wouldn’t mask up to save lives, but they’ll use them to hide from us while they kidnap people.
OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman even made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait.
Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to the industry's biggest boosters that they have won—that they're free to use, appropriate, and commoditize art however they see fit.

Maybe don’t lie when the reporter has the whole damn chat log.
Historians have often wondered how the Nazis were able to keep a war with most of the world going for 6 years.
A recent theory suggests, it was because they did not invite journalists into the group chat.

I had a conversation this afternoon with the director of my regional public library, about Libby. She said that tagging books as Notify Me is what tells her what to buy. Libby notifies her about the requests for books from users, and if any book has more than three requests, she orders it. So using Notify Me is important!!!

Snow White didn’t bomb because of Rachel Zegler.
But it also didn’t bomb because of Gal Gadot.
It bombed because nobody - absolutely nobody - was even slightly interested in the existence of a live action Snow White movie.
My son recently launched a #WeatherBalloon with a #camera and some instruments. This #photo is from about 30km up just before the #balloon burst. It's really cool that you can begin to see the curvature of the #Earth from this height and see the darkness of #space. I was on an airliner in this area on the same day and saw some of the same clouds and frozen rivers & lakes my son captured in his photos.
Another sketch in the 642 Things to Draw where I try to inject capybaras where I can! The prompt "Sea Spray" instantly made me think of The Little Mermaid.

Those of us who were disabled prior to Covid felt hope when the pandemic hit.
Hope for a more inclusive society. For chronic illness research to advance faster because Long Covid was too big to ignore.
Instead we’ve ended up with fascists cutting all research funding.
The grief is real.

Stop saying annexation.
It’s an invasion. They want to invade our country.
The word “annexation” is drawn from the double speak used by Russia.
