Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Aide: Sir the protesters have started dressing up as kid rock. ICE doesn’t know what to do.
Boss: I was afraid of this.

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

You’d be great at it!

Maybe try amureprints.com… they have a searchable database. I don’t have a good way to find old strips on my end.

The Sora thing is so bleak and shows how far we've come from AI companies pretending they did not train on copyrighted material

www.404media.co/openais-sora...

OpenAI’s Sora 2 Copyright Infringement Machine Features Nazi SpongeBobs and Criminal Pikachus

The main use of Sora appears to generate brainrot of major beloved copyrighted characters, to say nothing of the millions of articles, images, and videos OpenAI has scraped.

WTF that’s not how copyright works

The Wall Street Journal @wsj.com · 15d

Exclusive: OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator, which creates videos featuring copyrighted material unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear.
