Okay, you get to write ONE dream comic mini-series, featuring characters you did not create.
What character would you pick, and who would draw it?

This is your casual reminder that executive orders are not laws.
EOs are directives meant to manage the operations of the federal government. Not state governments.
The states that even deign to acknowledge this are the ones who actively WANT to. No one's forcing them.

What the rough sketching process looks like for me. Step 1 draw a face I like, step 2 add other large focal points (horse and fox) step 3 refine those animals and add designs in middle ground, step 4 maybe it’s a unicorn and add horizon line. Fuck AI I love this process, it brings me endless joy

Southcom is lost. It is gone.
Like its counterparts in places like Venezuela, El Salvador, Nicaragua, or Cuba, the Command has completely lost track of the difference between "civilian control of the military" and "foul subservience to a political agenda."

watching this 1995 documentary about nuclear weapons tests and while nuclear weapons are, in general, an insane weapon, nuclear artillery seems even more insane? what do you mean you want tactical nukes to use on the battlefield?

The craziest thing about the Metaverse was, the concept of virtual/VR social spaces IS Not New and also Definitely Works.

Mark Zuckerberg believed in the Metaverse so much he changed his company's name to "Meta" in 2021 and spent over $70 billion on this fantastical virtual reality chat space that has less functionality than VR Chat.
Now, in 2025, he doesn't even mention it. And investors still give him money to burn

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Q: How quickly will this affect prices at the grocery store?
TRUMP: I think the prices are gonna be, ah, going down already. I mean, the prices are way down. We brought prices way down from what it was. We inherited high prices.
