It's time to finally let this out! I have a new comic, my first as writer and artist, and it's called ¡Malandros! A comic about criminals hunting monsters in Bogotá and the funny results of such an endeavor. Read it in malandroscomic.com #webcomicday #webcomic #indiecomic #selfpublishedcomics #comic

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

The robot that talks people into killing themselves can do erotica, but you can't post drawings of boobs. We gotta protect the children, you perv.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

It's impressive to see the Jordan Peterson arc reenacted so soon and with a considerably bigger budget

The execs underestimate how much of its downfall is strictly on the casting of Jared Leto. The NIN soundtrack and the design teasers had people hyped up until the cast announcement

if you hear a creative or a creative-adjacent person say something along the lines of “whatever you think about AI, it’s here to stay” they probably just got pAId

Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

I still love how smart the choices were when it came to the look of this. It's the definition of idyllic, and I can't believe we don't have at least 6 full seasons of it

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

Sorry to go on, but remember translated manga in the 90s, where they'd flip all of the art out of some fear that Americans wouldn't adapt to right-to-left reading? But readers adapted quick and wanted manga unflipped. The human brain is built more complex than folks give it credit for.

You'd think that lettering is a straightfoward design process -- copy text, draw a balloon, draw a tail, bam -- but depending on the language, culture, creative production, publishing industry, and readership habits, the design language evolves differently and readers adapt to that.

A preview of Lackadaisy Season One - the Speakeasy is in its prime as Mitzi and the band regale the crowd with an original musical number, Last Call. This seemed like the ideal way to announce that Lackadaisy is now officially a ‪Glitch‬ Production!!

If anything, I'm happy to reform the villains created as dangerous stereotypes by bigots (yes, this is about both Bane and Snowflame)
