And that's the TRUTH

Also, if the demographics your whisper network look nothing like the demographics of the perpetrator's victims, you don't have a whisper network, you have a gossip mill.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN! If you're a U.S.-based comics creative - aspiring, working, or otherwise - and you do ONE thing to help out your fellow creators this year, let it be filling this survey out!

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)

If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again. anchoreditions.com/blog/dorothe...

Watching Twilight: Eclipse, and we got to the cuck tent scene, and I think I’ve ascended to a different plane lmaoooo

This just seemed like a funny drawing to spend a lot of time on

Everyone seems to be very stressed on here lately, and I don’t love that for you, and I wish you peace and chill and maybe a nice snack

Why I Don't Vote (OK, I Do Vote, but I Would Like to Discourage You, NY Times Reader, For Doing So For Some Reason) Via @bubbaprog.ilovecitr.us

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

Was awesome to join @adamconover.bsky.social on the Factually show to talk about the AI bubble and the general state of the tech industry. youtu.be/T8ByoAt5gCA?... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The A.I. Bubble is Bursting with Ed Zitronyoutu.be Big tech is betting tens of billions of dollars on AI being the next big thing, but what if it isn't? ChatGPT burns obscene amounts of cash daily with little return, Google's AI dispenses useless and sometimes dangerous advice, and a recent study showed that tech companies will soon run out of new training data to improve their AI models. If AI is really so costly, unreliable, and limited, what happens to the industry that has bet so big on it? This week, Adam talks with journalist and influential tech critic Ed Zitron of wheresyoured.at to discuss the impending burst of the AI bubble, the hubris of Silicon Valley, and how we suffer under big tech's "Rot Economy."

Happy to share the poster illustration I did for Gerald McMorrow's new short film EMBERS! ✨ It's an incredible short based on a story by Douglas Adams (that is in turn a retelling of the Sibylline Books), a fable about climate change, greed, and the consequences of our actions.

Ah someone just set off fireworks on our street and woke me up

I’m gonna spend so irresponsibly. I got no kids, so everybody’s my kids, yes even you, do you want a pony and also healthcare

If this happens, fellow millennials, if the boomers die and I find out you've inherited and gotten all...boomery, I'm becoming a serial killer and coming for you. There's nothing I can do about the boomers but I'd kill millennials while they still have souls rather than let them turn

it's ALWAYS a great day to set up a reoccurring donation to your local abortion fund, doesn't matter if it's only $5.

Donations to support people seeking abortion care are down since Dobbs and national orgs are reducing support. Please consider making Samuel Alito mad by donating to your local abortion fund today

Abortion Fund Leaders Have A Stark Warning For Allwww.huffpost.com After the overturn of Roe v. Wade, donations flowed to abortion funds, but over time the money has dried up -- endangering care for people across the country.

I’m in that mental state where I need to watch Moonstruck again for morale.

Today I learned that I have been conflating Highlander with that one M*l Gibson movie for my whole entire life, and it’s like a whole different decade and genre

The “can’t build proper nests because we bred their instinct out of them” thing is kind of an urban legend, even wild, undomesticated, ancestral Rock doves in their native habitat just throw in a couple sticks and call it a day, it’s just that in their natural habitat they nest in holes like this

You: Please act normal; you need these people to like you. Me: OK! People: Hi Me: We literally domesticated and then abandoned pigeons and now they don't know how to live if not alongside us and they can't even build proper nests but we reject them and call them pests when they stick around and

There are populations of completely wild pigeons left! More than scientists expected, even, but they’re pretty rare and arguably endangered because it’s so difficult to tell the difference between a wild rock dove and a hybridized rock dove without a dna test m.jpost.com/science/arti...

Rare wild ancestors of pigeons could aid conservation effortsm.jpost.com The species that occupied Darwin's studies could help further scientists' understanding of genetics in the modern day.

50/100 sold and $5000 raised for Fair Fight & Vote Riders, OMFG I now officially have to do this at least twice!

I’m not saying that I want to force @clairewillett.bsky.social to do more work, but if two more people sign up for her grantwriting masterclass, she’s going to have to hold two sessions. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Grantwriting Master Classwww.32auctions.com Auction item 'Grantwriting Master Class' hosted online at 32auctions.

I submitted a design where I led with arched frames with gothic flourishes, which people thought looked too Religious, and then they suggested something Art Deco, and I’m having trouble coming up with a polite way explain how this is like asking for ice cream cake when I’ve offered you a fruit pie.

i cannot stress how relieving it is to see the president of a major creative tech company like nintendo voice concerns about generative ai and say they’re not interested www.tweaktown.com/news/99109/n...

Nintendo won't use generative AI in its first-party gameswww.tweaktown.com Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has revealed that the company currently has no plans to use generative AI in its games due to IP rights concerns.

intimidating and punishing journalists who expose flagrant state corruption, another classic Jim Crow mechanism

She won a Pulitzer for exposing how the country's poorest state spent federal welfare money. Now she might go to jail. "The rabbit's got the gun now," said a lawyer for former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, who is trying to force reporter Anna Wolfe to reveal her sources.

A lot of the aesthetics of The Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum is a convergence of a few things, specifically the milieu that produced the Columbian World Exposition of 1893 and innovations in the use of colored lights on window displays in shops. Baum was a window-dresser before he was an author.

OK besides this below and DEVO coming out of the Kent State massacre, what are other facts you have about the evolution of art / music /etc that wouldn't be obvious if you didn't know but, retroactively, explain and/or illuminate a LOT ?
