HOW WILL THE AI BUBBLE COLLAPSE:

I think it'll be OpenAI running out of money to a sufficient degree that everyone whose accounts are held up by OpenAI equity can no longer keep it propped up and have to admit their losses. That's when it cascades.

what's your prediction?

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

A professor let me write one double-length paper across two classes I took from him. It counted for basically all of my grade. I wrote 20 pages in three hours a few days before Christmas and got an A.

This had a deleterious effect on my belief that I shouldn't just wing it in important situations.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

excellent 🧵 about just why Heinlein remains a problematic fave for many - I absorbed the bulk of the corpus roughly 13-14, right after Covenant, actually, and he was my first exposure to many things - the rare libertarian who believed civil liberties counted, as well as my first gender switch book.

Emma Evans @trance.bsky.social · 9h

Okay the edible is kicking in and I'm still exhausted (but much better) after last night's grief storm.

So let's talk about why Heinlein is so beloved by many, while so many others walk up to that table with boxes of problematic going 'how in the fuck'

two men are sitting next to each other in front of a window in an office .

Alt: In a scene from the US comedy show The Office, two men - one black, one white, both wearing office attire - are sitting next to each other, and without looking at each other, do a fistbump.
