I know that you can’t swear in old comics but buddy, those are some embarrassing last words.

"We can take it for granted that Trump and his advisors would greet a terrorist attack as an obvious chance to blame their chosen enemies, advance their project of authoritarian regime change, and distract from their own perilous follies. (1/2)
Some common sense to remember in a trying time.

best we've got right now is Murdoch Mysteries, a detective show set in late 1800's Toronto, where the lead characters regularly invent modern technology by accident. Detective Murdoch created the Roomba. Tatiana Maslany's brother plays a gay jewish cop. It's incredible.

I seem to have read most of them (in some cases, recently). The ones I am sure I missed are (bt decade):
The Paradox Men by Charles L. Harness (1953)
Time Out of Joint by Philip K. Dick (1959)

A few people have told me that were I to print all, or just a selection of, my OJST comics, they'd like a copy.
Is that something folks are genuinely interested in? They're kind of all over the place 🤔

Any folks good at mechanical design? I'm not!
My main reference for this hinge has been Drexler's original concept art and Voyager's hinged pylon. I do want to be able to see the mechanism, but maybe less prominently. Any ideas? Or suggestions for reference I could look at?

The ironic thing about AI "art" is that REAL art gives us the tools to philosophically investigate why AI is not a good thing, and ignoring real art lets people sink deeper and deeper into a dangerous anti-human rhetoric that dooms us all.

IMO the weird exception some supposed leftists seem to make for condemning-the-theft-of-labor-except-art-lol-steal-that-shit is just a weird intersection with puritan "if you enjoy yourself, it's not a real job" brainworms.
"fun" job = member of the leisure class (ROFL) = fair game. Somehow.

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.
