Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com

(THIS PAGE: Drive Recovery Protocol )
![PANEL 1: The MACHITO floats above a cloudy planet, stars in space behind them.
LOCATION: THE MACHITO, ON SASEET
Nando, from inside the ship: But Captain…you’re acting like you’re going to stroll in, give your report, and stroll out.
PANEL 2: NANDO, a young man in a baseball hat and imperial uniform, stands next to the CAPTAIN, an older woman with a grey bouffant hair and glasses. She stands at a control panel, holding a mug of coffee.
NANDO: …What if this is just an execution’s summons from my uncle?
CAPTAIN: I’m damned if I go, and I”m damned if I don’t go, ‘Nando. At least in going…there’s a chance.
PANEL 3: The CAPTAIN takes a sip, while SKITTER, a squirrel-like creatures with a mohawk, flies in his chair in silhouette behind her.
CAPTAIN: You now better than anyone: if I DON’T report in, he can take over the ship remotely.
SKITTER: The Empire can do that? Fly this ship REMOTELY?
PANEL 4: NOSH, a large bumpy alien, leans in, while NANDO squints in reaction.
NOSH: Is called “Drive Recovery Protocol.” Is meant for when peoples steal a ship with a Cruz drive.
NANDO: They’re right. As the onboard Familia, I”m actually supposed to trigger it locally. But Emperors have done it remotely, in the past.
PANEL 5: From outside the ship, we see the MACHITO flying through FTL space, stars streaking by, as the ship heads toward a bright light.
SKITTER, from inside the ship: Wait wait wait. Why doesn’t the Empire just fly EVERY ship remotely then?
NOSH, from inside the ship: Is not good pilotings. THERE IS A HUGE LAG. You send signal to turn left, and like two minutes later it turn left. So steering is not comfy fun times.
PANEL 6: NOSH makes a motion of one fist punching in to another. SKITTER, in his chair, looks worried in his reaction.
NOSH: But THAT is not a problem during drive recovery protocol, because you prolly trying to fly ship into HARD-TO-MISS SPOT. …like thermo-nuclear star.
SKITTER: I seeeeeee [music note]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wdj5xqp2vansvnbxugyxujwg/bafkreiftki45tzaticomkbom74l37tjklfv47462kvrl7w5qpuazr66wau@jpeg)

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

I’m not very religious but saying God allowed Charlie Kirk to be murdered to stop Kirk from turning his back on Israel sounds kinda messed up lol

Depositing money at the Beast With Two Banks is just asking to be screwed out of it.
one of the features everyone wants here is one of the features that consistently drives posters insane: group chats. absolute fetid breeding grounds for the most pointless folie a deux
