The easiest way to monetize AI would be to offer a premium version of Google, Instagram, etc with all the useless intrusive AI features removed.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social I can’t get either of your recent shows to play on any pod catcher on any of my devices! Is this a known issue or a personal problem for me to work through?

Every year Emily the Librarian and I make an bananas video to kick off SLO County Library's summer reading. I think this year's turned out pretty rad! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc-3...

Ohhhh baby yoda is the actor's name

Happy “book birthday” to REEL LIFE! 1: My first attempt at a cover design, which the Scholastic team reasonably thought was too emo. I like it as a drawing though. 2: A “deleted scene” from my original pitch. I wanted a runner about a weird kid named Aiden who’s perpetually offscreen.

As a European I agree with Mark. It is dangerously complacent jingoism to think that it's "being European" that protects us rather than superior political institutions.

Actually, Americans are just like you. ~20-30% of them genuinely support fascism, as in ~every 🇪🇺 country. You are just more fortunate to have political institutions & a multiparty system that prevent that 20-30% from fully capturing the center-right party, becoming 51%, & controlling the government.

I read it! Liked it! An extra good read for any young person in your life navigating a divorce, and perhaps EVEN MORE SO if a young person has a friend or acquaintance their age who is navigating a divorce. So basically, any young person in the world today. Solid storytelling-two thumbs up ✍️🥸👍

There is something all of us can do to rein in ICE's reign of terror. The Department of Homeland Security is currently funded only through January 30, and the new funding bill is vulnerable. Please read more via this link and call your reps today. All hands on deck. indivisible.org/campaign/how...

How to Rein in ICE–NOW

Keith porter was also murderd by ice. Please donate to their gofundme. Funerals cost like 10,000.

36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it

Less than a week ago, the @washingtonpost.com reported about how an imperialist war of choice is doomed to failure and eroding quality of life for everyone in the country. Today, they're reassuring us that imperialist wars of choice are Good Actually and always work out well for everyone.

LOS ANGELES!! I'll be at @comicartsla.bsky.social this weekend at table 63A! And on Sunday I'll be moderating a panel about the grind of graphic novels with @kaneicaruslynch.bsky.social @charmgardens.com and @andycomics.bsky.social!

“Lemonade” A new one page comic from the world of REEL LIFE.

See you tomorrow night, LA!

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

The New Yorker@newyorker.com · 11mo ago

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

"If Elon Musk thinks it's good, it's bad, and if Elon Musk thinks it's bad, it's good" is a pretty reliable rule of thumb.

not only does the richest known nazi in the world endorse andrew cuomo but he’s boosting it as a paid ad on twitter

I wish every dem were out there making it clear that these ICE assholes are going to be facing legal consequences as soon as R's do not have a death grip on power but alas

I'm not really involved in "mainstream" comics (DC, Marvel, etc) either professionally or as a fan, but is there, like, a movement to get DC Comics to stop employing Chuck Dixon, a proud champion of fascist violence? They cancelled Gretchen Felker-Martin for far less.

Ever MAGA opinion is basically random thoughtless meanness, but it is very funny to see them pretending to really love Columbus Day, which became a national holiday because Democrats wanted to shore up support in immigrant communities during the New Deal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbu...

White PDXers, now is the time to reach out to and be ready to close ranks around your BIPOC neighbors. You are the whitest metro city in the US, and that is going to paint instant targets on the backs of anyone who isn’t.

FUCK. stay safe, my beloveds. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Anyone out there familiar with Highland Pro? It’s TWICE deleted all of the writing in a document for no apparent reason, wiping hours of work. Does this happen to other people? I don’t want to give up on it because I like the UI and I paid for it, but I don’t think this is a risk I can keep taking.

Serious question — would DC be willing to publish this now? (It's from the distant year of 2018)

Urge Senators and Members to Reject ICE Funding and Invest in Communities

We need you to take action NOW! On September 30th, the House and Senate will be reaching their government funding deadline. Given the short timeline and disagreements between the two political parties...

While I got my knuckles rapped by corporate America for being rude and tasteless about a guy who dreamed of the stoning of me and everyone I love, Fox's Brian Kilmeade advocated explicitly for the state murder of all homeless people -- on live TV, no less -- to virtually no response.

Never forget "the other 9/11", 9/11/73, when the US backed a coup in Chile, murdering the democratically-elected President and establishing a disastrous military dictatorship. www.npr.org/2023/09/10/1...

The U.S. set the stage for a coup in Chile. It had unintended consequences at home

When the U.S. role in the 1973 coup in Chile became known, activists took action. So did U.S. lawmakers. This is what happened after the U.S. helped topple a Marxist and aided a right-wing dictator.
