Don't forget to keep an eye out for blue grifter accounts, doubly so now. They follow extreme numbers of ppl, have all sorts of garbage and hashtags in bio, and post nothing but political stuff trying to get you to doom scroll but also to spin you into giving them money. They also tend to not source

There is an essential & extremely generalizable point here.
Critical thinking is a team sport. We all need metacognition buddies because human brains. It doesn't matter how quote unquote smart you are. Especially in the slop times.

The thing that jumps out to me here is that the article says the doctor’s *colleague* went looking for the fake studies.
It suggests the doctor who used ChatGPT didn’t check for himself and uncritically assumed they were real.

I wasn't vindicated but I did very much enjoy when weeks later she got absolutely furious because people were lowering sandwiches in brown bags from the 3rd floor to the window of her classroom on the 2nd floor and she could not figure out how people were bringing food into class, it was amazing.
I got accused of lying about reading twice as a child. Once was in 5th grade when I said I read 300 books and the other time was in high school when I said I read A Separate Peace in one night and my teacher called me a liar. I'm still mad about this clearly. I READ THE BOOK, MRS. ROBERTS.

This started out as just an odd Frogby then my husband said it looked like a turtle, so I added a shell and have been using it as a spot to experiment with color blending and doing different details and things with needle felting and now I guess it's Turtleby.

You will be able to get a print copy of BRAINS next week!
BRAINS is up for sale on itch! If you'd like to wait for print, you can grab it at MICE or wait til it's available through Radiator Comics sometime after MICE.

Some of the takes I'm seeing on here about what comics editing entails are WILD, particularly the folks who are shocked that editors have any interaction with the art.
Unless you're working on a reprint, you should know exactly what changes make sense and are necessary/feasible at *every stage*.

HEY PUBLISHERS: pay attention to this entire thread; and recognize that a HUGE part of the problem is assigning comics projects to editors with no comics knowledge or experience. Editing comics is a discrete discipline, and when you don't recognize that, you fuck both creators and yourself over.
I've had to explain that no, I cannot pencil and ink a 260-page GN in two months, do you even understand the words you're saying to me? I've been asked to design characters, pencil, ink, and color a 200-page GN myself in eight months (I said no).
