This is why I haven't read the comments on my webcomic since 2019 🥲
There's such a disconnect with modern comic book readers, especially Webtoon readers, on how comics are made. People ask me insane questions like 'will this porn comic be on webtoon' or 'can you update twice a week this time' or 'why is this paywalled'.

"They're trying to change our habits, because all of the projections rely on people becoming truly dependent on the technology. Whether or not it's actually a good thing for society isn't considered to be a factor."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

A friend recommended a book to me by an author I already love, so I downloaded it immediately, only to find that the book is 800 pages long 💀

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Had drama in the garden this morning - my dad went out to feed the birds and Luna went out with him started sniffing at something my dad thought was a dead baby bird. But when he went to grab her, he realised it was a dead shrew, and there was a small puff adder right next to it.

You ever have a task where you like KNOW it's not going to take too long, but then end up procrastinating on that task just because you know it won't take too long, and it ends up taking the whole day? Today was one of those days for me.

Before transitioning, I hated shaving my legs but was self-conscious of showing my legs in public because I was worried people would make comments. Today I wore shorts out, all my clothes from the men's section, more leg hair than I ever had back then, and I still got called ma'am.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

Found out today that the town I live in is at 27% filled dams and is set to run out of water in 17 days. So that's FUN. 🫠

The thing that keeps me watching the Traitors is seeing overly-cocky men thinking they're playing the game amazingly and everyone is their pawns, and then they get banished and look like the absolute fools they are.
