Good news!

We have reached the minimum goal of $5,000. This means that the first issue of #RoguesGallery will be published!

However, "Rogues Gallery" is nine chapters long and we now begin the trek to fund the entire story.

Because that’s how useful technology becomes popular; it shows up and stays even though everyone hates it.

Free?

Owen "The Hammer" Hammer @thehammer.bsky.social · 3d

Really?

Owen "The Hammer" Hammer @thehammer.bsky.social · 3d

Wait, you're saying that, *twice* a recipient died on the way to the ceremony?

Hey, everyone (especially @tvaziri.com ), Vera Wylde of @councilofgeeks.bsky.social does not only an excellent job of debunking "AI" but *finally* explains how and why AI is *not* the same as cgi.

A reminder: cgi is art, AI is not.

Yeah, I know, but the "you have to be alive" thing needs rethinking. What if you get hit by a car on the way to accept your award? Is it revoked?

Yes. My mother-in-law does most of the shopping and we are begging her to get unscented Swiffer wipes. Our house has original red oak floors and Swiffer is the only way to clean them. Pro-tip: you can order unscented in bulk from Lowes’s web site.

Semi-related, there is an ongoing and unsuccessful movement to *change* the 1962 Nobel Prize for Medicine awarded to Watson and Crick for discovering DNA 🧬 and add Rosalind Franklin who had her credit stolen Bob Kane style.

Like . . . everyone?

Owen "The Hammer" Hammer @thehammer.bsky.social · 3d

If you mean campaign for themselves to get an award, no. I thought it never happened, but people on this thread said it happened once before. Whoever it was, he must be an ass.

Semi-related: anyone else see “FYC” ads and think “Fine Young Cannibals?”

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
