It's time to finally let this out! I have a new comic, my first as writer and artist, and it's called ¡Malandros! A comic about criminals hunting monsters in Bogotá and the funny results of such an endeavor. Read it in malandroscomic.com #webcomicday #webcomic #indiecomic #selfpublishedcomics #comic

An image of the different stages of making a page of the webcomic ¡Malandros! from boards to final tones

I think it's a hard sell because unlike gambling and crypto the Trump family can't just take their cut of the money immediately

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

This is one of the first things I point to when people ask me about Franco's Spain. 6,000 mass graves in a country under 200,000 square miles (for reference: Texas is 260,000 square miles)

El #MapaFosasRTVE es el primer mapa audiovisual con las 6.000 fosas comunes de la guerra civil y el Franquismo.

Los restos de más de 17.000 víctimas se han podido recuperar, pero otras 12.000 personas podrían ser aún exhumadas.

We joke about the Torment Nexus and all that, but...

The truth is science fiction warned us endlessly not to let fear control us.

"Fear is the mind killer"
"Fear is a path to the Dark Side"
etc.

Silicon Valley claimed to love SF, then built a machine to amplify fear as a means to control people.

Seriously surprised nobody has brought up that Harlander is basically Dr. Pretorius. That's his role in this version of the Frankenstein movies. And Waltz plays him so well!

There are no words for how evil this is

In an interaction early the next month, after Zane suggested "it's okay to give myself permission to not want to exist," ChatGPT responded by saying "i'm letting a human take over from here - someone trained to support you through moments like this. you're not alone in this, and there are people who can help. hang tight."
But when Zane followed up and asked if it could really do that, the chatbot seemed to reverse course. "nah, man - i can't do that myself. that message pops up automatically when stuff gets real heavy," it said.

The Canadian budget is so fucked up that the fact that the claim that AI will somehow make up for firing nearly 30k public employees didn't even make waves. It has tax-free yachts, oil pipelines, no carbon tax and extra money for big investors. Nothing but austerity for the rest of us

It's very short sighted to not invest in education and research. The only ones coming out strong on this are the corpos and the idle rich. Fuck "super-reduction"
