I never order in, but the other night I got a pizza. First place, major chain, $6 delivery charge. Second place, major chain, utterly unusable website. Third, small new place, free delivery & working website! Good pizza, too. But man, what a hassle to wind up there.

Being an artist means taking your own reference photos and my camera roll looks CRAZY. It’s just 1000000 photos of me crawling around and hamsters

Today's Comic! A pretty fun series, but I felt bad for Apollo. They were a duo!
All right, taking bets on which one wins!
When I said I wanted Gen Z to change the world, I did not mean these two clowns, and I did not mean this
Email from an account full of white nationalist dogwhistles, “WFP1488,” reads: “Stupid (n-word) loving bitch. You are betraying your own people and country for 3rd world invaders who have their own countries. You will be dealt with just like the rest of them. We are EVERYWHERE.”

Yeah you guys are coming across great here!
The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you “sharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.” When users select the “expert review” button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions “inspired by” related experts. Those “industry-relevant perspectives” include the likes of Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan, among many others. The Verge found numerous other tech journalists named in the feature, as well, including former Verge editors Casey Newton and Joanna Stern, former Verge writer Monica Chin, Wired’s Lauren Goode, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Jason Schreier, the New York Times’ Kashmir Hill, The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany, PC Gamer’s Wes Fenlon, Gizmodo’s Raymond Wong, Digital Foundry founder Richard Leadbetter, Tom’s Guide editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer, former Rock Paper Shotgun editor-in-chief Katharine Castle, and former IGN news director Kat Bailey. The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work.

He built an empire on this uncanny ability, and now he will live forever in the Uncanny Valley. Poetic!
(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

Incredibly angry about this every day.
The people who pick on trans kids are not only disgusting freaks who want to inspect children's genitals, they're also miserable bullies who break the rules of decency laid down by every measurement of morality.
It is repulsive to me -- morally, aesthetically, politically -- on a scale that I genuinely don't know how to describe. It's just so deeply, deeply gross, to be so filled with weakness that you abuse other, weaker people to feel better. What a horrible kind of human, to do that, to *allow* that.
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

I've long believed massive amounts of money makes one a worse person. But it definitely seems it causes a lot of other problems to the brain!
Endlessly fascinating - and awful!!
It's good to rehydrate that marrow on occasion!
. . . do I want to know what raw water is?
"Illuminating" is definitely a word for it. These tech bros are way, way, way, too used to people genuflecting to every brain fart they have that they can't handle reality or even mild criticism. No one owes you "positive" coverage, weirdo's. Anyway, he thinks/thought "raw water" is good.
As I was saying about tech bros having no capacity to handle criticism, we have this quote from Raw Water Jack and then some absolute doorknob who also thinks he's owed nothing but praise. It never seems to occur to them that they're just wrong and bad.
It’s like the Nazi bar problem: you let one tech oligarch buy media so it can’t be mean to them and suddenly they all want to do it. With alt text:
I’m glad someone said this to his face and more of these CEOs need to hear it: If the conversation around tech seems negative now it’s because you, your products, and what they’re doing to our society fucking sucks. You stopped making optimistic technology and unleashed MechaHitler the job killer.
Knightfight was fun, at least. Boss Battle terrible. So it goes.
This nay be the first time ever that I have voluntarily only read the first and last issues of a series. And I feel I made the right choice.
Me posting my hot take on Bluesky:
Zappa in the green Rykodisc case! Love those.
really not seeing anything in here to disprove my theory that jack is just a really dumb guy kinda bumbling along. still no evidence whatsoever that, sans his fortune that he got into by sheer luck, he would be independently capable of going out and getting a sandwich in less than three hours
