Never thought of it this way before, but that makes Randall Munroe a positive variation of Scott Adams's career.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

there's no tunnel, to be clear! nor light! these are metaphors! we could as easily say: the surface above the water; the doorknob in the darkness; the key at the bottom of the junk drawer; and so on, and so on

Don draper: in Greek nostalgia literally means the pain from no mario. It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn't a spaceship—it's a me, Mario. It goes backwards and forwards. It takes us to a Mario"

I feel like a mostly deflated balloon. Just drifting an inch off the floor, mushy and shapeless, barely a whisper of helium left inside.

First draft of the Face Hugger is also a grand example
Two images, the first showing a capsule marked as 1m tall with a little window on the front. The second showing the window popping out and a little crude 6 legged crab thing with an angry face launching forward

a two-panel comic. A cartoon representation of the French nation is holding a bat and torturing a cartoon representation of the USA. France, holding a bat, as USA is tied to a chair, says: "Zees is your last chance, Americain... admit zee sandwich is served au jus but zee liquid is just called "jus"" Panel 2: The US, spitting out blood, says "Like I said, pal... the gravy is called "au jus"... and it's pronounced oh juice"

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.
"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

i made a few edits to my sad little poem & drew something to accompany it
[pothos plant vine drawing] message to my former friend who uses AI images to accompany social media posts about his job at the addict kids to gambling factory re: your prompt "anime style guy in work clothes," a boyish face that desperately clings to bygone youth; unspecified "potted plants" -- mimicry of perhaps lilacs, plum blossoms on vague greenery blobs They all have leaves like rose bushes, though I see over here the machine tried to approximate: spider plant, monstera, anthurium But I can tell: you didn't bother to learn botanical names. (I hesitate to call them) pothos drape, weightless, on a pergola ("sunny day") -- there's no real source of light. Lines: wrong without handsweight or intent, "make" "cityscape in the background." I would have taught you to place a horizon line, a vanishing point
