I wish cognitive dissonance was physically painful.

Today, my wife and I had to say goodbye to the sweetest kitty that ever lived. She passed peacefully in my arms after a battle with cancer.

The hole she left in our life and in our hearts cannot be quantified.

Be at peace, Claudette. We love you.

I just saw a clip of Trump saying this:

“The fake news would never let me get away with that statement unless it was true.”

Can we just sit with that for a moment? The FAKE news doesn’t let him get away with LIES, is what he’s saying.

So… not fake, then?

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The other vial did not last very long, owing to the vast number of enemies I have.

…had.

I bought this vial of monkey adrenaline from @calamityjon.bsky.social like a million years ago and it’s finally run dry. Refills are not available at my local CVS, it seems.

Incredibly disappointing experience. This printer (Mixam) is dragging their feet on dealing with an atrocious print job and costing us credibility with our backers.

westroncomic.bsky.social @westroncomic.bsky.social · Aug 8

We got our comics printed at Mixam and... it did NOT go well. Details are in the video below.

I made a point of not calling them out by name, but at this point all they've done is ask me for videos of the print issues and now it's been 2 days since I've heard ANYTHING.
