It’s striking how almost everybody who actually makes a living as an influencer now seems to be completely miserable + on the point of total breakdown from having to churn out content essentially every waking hour (as that’s what the algo requires). Living like that is inhuman.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.com · last mo.it’s bad that it increasingly feels like everyone has to be a TV host now if they want to stay gainfully employed
the older I get the more I deeply understand and envy Bill Watterson and his total disgust with pretty much everything in our culture. I can only imagine how he’s feeling right now.
I replaced my 11 year-old Cintiq this week and it was surprisingly emotional. I spent a lot of hours promising to finish my children's book on this thing.

If you're not familiar with the original... The dumpster episode of The Chris Gethard Show from 2016 w/ Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas is one of the greatest 40-some minutes of television. If you haven't seen it, don't Google it, go in blind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwi_...

Know it’s very unoriginal to say or do but I’ve been looking at Bill Watterson’s original art and the linework is pretty damn tasty. There is both a precision and unprecious way the strokes are done.

Silo, I love you, but if you draw out this dumb amnesia plotline for the whole season, I'm going to be so mad.
OK I'm three whiskeys and four episodes into the last season of The Bear and if they don't turn it around I might just lose it.

Gary Larson cartoon incident
_____________
In 1987 Gary Larson published a Far Side cartoon of two chimpanzees grooming, in which one discovers a blonde hair and says, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[127] The Jane Goodall Institute called the cartoon an "atrocity" in a letter drafted by its lawyers to Larson and his syndicate. Goodall, who was in Africa at the time, later found the cartoon amusing.[128]
She went on to name it her favourite depiction of herself in pop culture.[129] Larson offered profits from sales of a shirt featuring the cartoon to the Jane Goodall Institute.[130]
Goodall wrote the preface to The Far Side Gallery 5, detailing her version of the controversy.[131] She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals.
In 1988 Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania.[128] While there, he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.[127][132]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qdtwslusias4dnfmqydvudsq/bafkreiab4xelozcgki2mm2n3wwq5vdhbvve7v76enl6wbonavz6gjc2p7u)

Oh - the new Roku OS will automatically rearrange your channels based on what you last watched? My 82-year old mother will love that.
My internet provider's chatbot asked me how my weekend was and I wrote "Let's stay on topic, please"
Dani Oliver@danioliver.bsky.social · 4mo agoIs there anything more humiliating about being alive in this moment than an AI tech support chatbot asking how you are?
