It's time for the 2024 Comics Worker Survey for US workers! Pay transparency is crucial to uncovering patterns in pay inequity & learning what publishers and clients can ACTUALLY pay us. Submit your info and encourage your peers to do the same! cartoonist.coop/2024USsurvey (art by Phil McAndrew)

@cathygellis.bsky.social The fact that most Dunkins outside the Bay Area don't have Chocolate Creme Filled is a crime! I DM'd with them a couple years ago to complain and they told me to contact the local manager...as if that would fix it.

Animee (2011-2012): A UK-only release, made by Molson-Coors, this line of beer was marketed as "beer made for women," noting that it was "bloat-resistant" and "unexpectedly sophisticated." Available in "clear-filered," "crisp rose" and "zesty lemon" varieties

Man, some convincing evidence that X is pretty freaking toxic ☢️

Interesting thread and not surprising to me. There was a reason I left X for good.

Just had to explain to a non-technical person the joke "There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors", and it took me 20 minutes, but they really laughed at the end.

If you have a kid in grade 1 through 6, they can get a free book from @barnesandnoble.bsky.social after reading any 8 books they want this summer. One of the free books (for grade 5 & 6) is @svetlania.bsky.social's "Enemies"! dispatch.barnesandnoble.com/content/dam/...

This note from @meganmorrone.bsky.social to @mikahsargent.com came up in my Timehop memories today. 🤣

I feel like everyone needs to look at this photo of bunnies for a moment and it will help improve your day.

I found the dumb issue in my script that was letting these markups into the posts. Should be fixed now.

I’m so old that I remember there was no site that had ANY information about the show “CHiPs”, so I made a site with some information. It’s still running over 29 years later.

I'm so old I remember when Yahoo really did have an index of every site on the World Wide Web

DreamHost moved my account to a new server with new IPs and didn’t tell me when they were doing it until they were done…which makes it really hard to know in advance when I need to go change a bunch of IP addresses in Cloudflare. “You had plans? Surprise! Deal with this now!” 😡

Attacks on my books have officially reached the point where I cannot keep up. The same list of 676 books is being taken on a road show across Texas with different angry group members loudly threatening school districts with lawsuits that would bankrupt their city. (THREAD)

If you have to make quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS and/or your state, consider this a reminder that you need to do that today. If you haven't already transferred the money from savings to checking, good luck! 😅
