When life in this world feels out of balance, some look to center within themselves while others look to force the world into compliance.

I am both old enough and young enough to remember when bigotry was properly recognized as a moral failing and a sign of degenerate, repugnant manifestation of selfish and ignorant ego.

What rhymes with bobillies mendon?
A very concerning moment in Milwaukee. Giannis falls down on a non-contact injury and has to summon the trainer onto the floor.
Talk about a day for Giannis and the Bucks franchise. Here's hoping this is not a serious injury 🙏

I wrote a practice thingy (which I haven't done in awhile) but the page refreshed itself and deleted it. Pretty, pretty cool.

My grandfather was an engineer and worked on the Manhattan Project in some way. Details are few because of secrecy and because he died in 1969 when my mother was 16.
She says he never really spoke about it but did tell her that there are some things you're not proud of.
I find that fascinating.

Firm agreement. Illusion of protection breeds lack of caution.
The only way you're ever gonna get brain injuries out of football is to remove helmets from the game. John Madden was saying this thirty years ago. Still true.

Burks was a bad idea, came in out of shape, got super disruptive "asthma" for that offseason and only that offseason, sucked and couldn't stay healthy.

Really interesting thread.
IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC...
Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought.
Share a bit of art, if you can!
Sing your own praises, if you like!

I initially didn't like Dipshit Derek. Was too overt and kinda annoying.
But a few "eat a fat one"s later, he really did grow on me.

Nice to see (no it's not) that Stranger Things season 5 continued that tradition of weirdo adult male trying to convince teenagers to have sex.

AI sucks at the details and execs don't deal with details.
AI sucks at the details and execs don't deal with details.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Where I come from, there was once a brother and sister who were quite famous. Together they sang; lived their entire lives that way.
Until one day the sister fell ill. She didn't die but her body was left a ruin. She struggled with everyday tasks and, worse in many ways, she couldn't sing anymore.

Stranger Things Season 5:
Action starts pretty quick but it's preceeded by a good bit of exposition. Allusions to the 80s feel less clever, sets sometimes feel super fake, plans are wonky and timelines and distance make no sense.
But I'm happy to be back in the world and honestly had fun.
