i’ve been told i have a very relaxed aura
A two-frame comic. Frame 1: Text that says "What answering emails looks like" above a person sitting at a desk, typing on a computer. Frame 2: Text that says "What answering emails FEELS like". The scene is now red, person is hunkered over their keyboard in terror. Three businessmen in suits loom over them, yelling "WHY HAVEN'T YOU RESPONDED???", "USELESS", and the third, tears in his eyes, yells "I LITERALLY HATE YOU".

Babe u left ur bike unlocked again 😭
A warm seaside setting. On a grassy hill overlooking the sea, four raccoons steal a bicycle. One leans eagerly from the basket, a second stands on the seat and steers with its front paws, a third pedals the wheels, and a fourth baby raccoon cleans to the back of the bicycle for dear life

It's past time to be loudly opposing the ongoing attack on the education system and boycotting gen AI and the billionaire losers betting our country's economy and resources on this slop. But if you haven't yet, today is a good day to start
Headline 1 (NPR): "What parents should know about PragerU Kids videos, ehich can now be shown in Florida schools" Headline 1 Text: "Some videos downplay slavery, question whether humans really cause climate change, and insert opinions into what otherwise appears to be educational content for children." Headline 2 (MSNBC): "Propaganda platform PragerU is primed to capitalize on Trump's PBS cuts" Headline 2 text: "The right-wing media outlet has been portrayed as an alternative to PBS children's programs - and it has gotten a boost from the white house." Headline 3 (NPR): "'Founders Museum' from White House and PragerU blurs history, Al-generated fiction" Headline 4 (CNN): "Exclusive: Oklahoma to begin controversial test to weed out "woke' teacher applicants today" Headline 4 text: "Teachers from "liberal" states who have relocated to Oklahoma and are seeking to work there must take a controversial new assessment, to be given for the first time today, that "keeps away woke indoctrinators," according to Oklahoma's top education official. The decision to use the assessment, developed by PragerU, a conservative media company whose teaching materials are now approved for use in public schools in ten US states, opens a" (text cuts off) Post from More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS which reads: "NetChoice, a tech industry association that represents Amazon, Google, Meta and more wants to increase Al use in schools. They're promoting Louisiana as an example of "Al education done right." Here's part of the image they shared in that tweet:" Attached is an AI generated image of a teacher with text that reads "generative AI for creatuve minds - Louisiana clasrrooms" (classrooms is misspelled) Headline 5 (Bloomberg): "Al Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring" Headline 5 text: "Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That's being passed on to customers." Headline 6 (Fortune): "Sam Altman's Al empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it's 'scary'" Headline 7 (yahoo! finance): "75% of gains, 80% of profits, 90% of capex-Al's grip on the S&P is total and Morgan Stanley's top analyst is 'very concerned'"

Sharp tongue
A dragon head descends from darkness, smoke trailing from its open mouth. A multitude of hands reach from its throat, almost like a tongue, together they grasp the hilt of a gold, shining sword.
