Just put up a new zine in my itch.io shop - it'll also be available in print at MICE, it takes a look at former carceral spaces that have been transformed into something else, examining how they engage with the public and whether it is possible to do so ethically. It's also pay what you want.

The low-angel Frieren meme is genuinely inspiring. Someone braver than the troops shares a picture they know turned out weird. Thousands start sharing their own art, offering advice and laughing together at something that is genuinely hard.

No ai to be seen --- just people supporting each other.

Dear Physicists and Physics fans,

I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th.

Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩‍🔬

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.

This scammer (SouljaBoy) still owes me for his LAST console that was never shipped and/or probably never existed.

I bought it because I thought it would be funny to review, and while I’ll grant that the novelty of saying, “SouljaBoy owes me $120,” has not been without value, I’d rather the money.

An order of chicken fingers is called a hand. “Gimme a hand of fingies,” you say. If you want dipping sauce you ask for them to “paint the nails.”

AI critics point out how useless it is for most people, and then AI company commercials are like "umm maybe it can come up with nicknames for Pete? Is that useful?? Give us 10 trillion dollars."

Here's an article about Mischief Night. It mentions a linguistics quiz. It's like (or is) the one I took when I learned "Mischief Night" is local to the Philly/NJ area. Before that, I just figured that's what October 30th was called everywhere. 😂 www.atlasobscura.com/articles/wha...

It's taken me longer than usual to get into spooky mode, but when this spooky eye emerged after experimenting with acryla gouache (something I'm having a bit of fun with), I made this graphic for Mischief Night! New Jersey knows. 😈

Growing up, my parents’ cousins were my aunts and uncles.

My parents aunts and uncles were also my aunts and uncles.

Even some of my parents friends were my aunts and uncles.

This is so petty
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."
