So, the last issue of IS TED OK? dropped almost a week ago, so maybe now I'll compile some thoughts in a thread!? First, again, huge thanks to everyone who bought it, read it, and helped spread the word. This is a project that managed to keep momentum through six issues and it was so exciting!

several studies that go into how fast/severe your brain atrophies even with short term use makes me think a lot of people will be severely fucked in the coming decades

The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

these people calling everyone against genAI a 'gatekeeper' are so fucking funny artists and writers are literally unable to shut the fuck up about process we live and breath process and discuss it OPENLY if me talking about drawing is gatekeeping i think you might be just a lazy asshole

There is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.

breaking a baby’s collarbone isn’t a bridge too far!!!!! i know i shouldn’t be surprised but FUCK that’s too dark for my soul to handle

this is so fucking disgusting.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

Medical advances. All of them. I was told in 2006 when I went into a t1 diabetic coma that if I'd showed up to ER in state I was in 20 years before, I'd be dead. We got a COVID vaccine in a YEAR. Spouse has a friend w/a major brain aneurysm who SURVIVED. And no one smokes inside anymore!!!!!!!!!

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

12 pages inked/lettered for the second issue of [REDACTED], my next thing, a collab with my bud @jordanthomas.bsky.social Very hyped for this one! OK, on to the next page. Pro tip: when you finish a page, get a head start by starting and then finishing the next page!

Is Ted Ok? Issue #6 Published by @madcavestudios.com The psychological sci-fi climax forces Ted to confront his corporate reality and fragile mind as his existential journey ends.

Highly recommend Is Ted OK? From start to end.

Make sure you're caught up on Is Ted OK? before diving into this review--spoilers beware!

🧠🤖 "All you can do is help." @davechisholmcomics.com joins @chriscoplan.bsky.social for a spoiler-filled deep dive into Is Ted OK?, discussing the ending, cut storylines, AI, empathy, and monthly comics. Find out why the finale says exactly what it needed to say:

this is apropos of nothing but what do y'all get most excited about in the backmatter of a comic? like character stuff? WIPs? extra art? author notes?? I'm just curious!

This is rape culture.

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

Hey friends, if you like comics, LOST, X-Files, art, or emotional stories, may I recommend you pick this up? Every issue kept expanding the landscape while also deepening the feelings. It has sneaky amounts of joy.

An amazing closing to an amazing book can’t wait for the trade

An epic book. Everyone should be hunting down the single issues or ordering the trade.

If voting didn’t matter, the right wouldn’t be trying so hard to disenfranchise us right now. Go vote your little butts off, babes 😎

This is fucking bullshit

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

This genuinely makes me sick to my stomach. Man, what the fuck.

What is PBS Kids doing telling 3rd graders to use Ai to write a poem???

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

As everything seems to crater around us, I want to impress upon you that there is ALWAYS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO. Billionaires and their politicians want us to believe that we are helpless. We are NOT. If something makes you mad, find out who's responsible and CALL THEM. Tell others to call.

From a cartoonist who writes stupidly long comics: I force myself to do a little bit every day, even if I don’t want to or feel like shit or don’t feel like I have time. Even just opening a script on my phone and writing one line. Ink one panel. Just do something

Writer friends with full time day jobs: how do you find enough time and energy to complete large scale creative projects around the edges?

Folks. What a book. If you missed it, find it.

Now that it's done, I really want to make a big reflection post about IS TED OK?, I just need to find the time. I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about it that I'd love to share but I wanna be deliberate about it! For now, I'll say that I'm beyond grateful. <3

It’s been cool to see so many overwhelmingly positive reactions to this series! 😭

Sorry to harp on this, but these CEOs keep bringing up the idea of a "public square" and I don't think they've ever been to a public square. I don't have the right to talk to anyone in a real-life public square! People get to tell me to go away.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

I’m hyped to see the new Spidey movie—no idea when I’ll get a chance to see it but it’s been fun to see so many positive reactions. I know it’s silly to get ANY feeling for a character owned by a megacorporation but, I can’t help it. Spider-Man is in my blood! 😵‍💫
