Making a comic with AI will also cost you your career.
Making a comic with AI will cost you roughly 150$ a month (device and internet)
A pencil costs 15 cents and a ream of paper is 6$
You could be like Kirby or you can embarrass yourself and make a prompt and generate a gross representation of what Kirby would do.

Imagine if there was a murder in broad daylight. On video. And the killer got away.
There’d be a nationwide manhunt.
The U.S. government knows who killed Alex Pretti. They won’t say. And they’re actively hiding the suspect(s).

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens.
Call it what it is — fascism.
History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Just saw a post saying that next year will be no better than this. While I appreciate the realism, I'd rather focus on how we can make it better. There are ways. We have to find them.
