I review manga, anime, and other things over at www.fandompost.com! Used to make newspapers and greeting cards, always looking for another dying industry to chain myself to. Currently falling under through second floors in cursed houses. She/Her/Hey You.
I was introduced to this Anti-AI slop site by @kamkonek.bsky.social where your answers come from humans LARPing as AI and you in turn also pretend to be AI. youraislopbores.me

Phew lad, apple making moves to get back The student market big time here: www.apple.com/macbook-neo/

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."
Shout out to sentient blocks of tofu, gotta be one of my favorite genders.
Re-upping this: we’ll be at the San Antonio public library PopCon this Saturday. It’s a free pop culture, comic, art, games, and book con.
My new book launched yesterday! With the help of our friends at @darkhorse.com! Which means you can buy it at any bookstore worth a damn! Here's an overview (link in video description), plus a few little bonus Metroidvania Works segments that were added to the print edition: youtu.be/7My3pi-MEO8
A mug with a flaming planet that says everything’s fine with a broken handle which is a little too spot on.
Welp.
![[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]
From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:
NEWSREADER:
Extraordinary images here
of an expat in Dubai
[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]
…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.
[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones].
CLIVE MYRIE:
To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent
DAVID JONES:
Clive, this is momentous
It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’.
[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]
You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.
It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.
CLIVE MYRIE:
Which are…?
DAVID JONES:
You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes,
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.
CLIVE MYRIE:
And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?
DAVID JONES:
I think we can expect to see:
“I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”
CLIVE MYRIE:
Mmm.

Boston’s Museum of Science used to run a citizen science project for counting fireflies. It ended a couple of years ago. Firefly season starts in mid-June here.
Ahhhhhhhh. This is giving me flashbacks to a road trip to visit my sister in SC and drinking orbitz while reading The Lost World circa 1996ish.
Good morning, gang! Could Sleeping Wizards hit 50% Funded at the exact halfway point of its crowdfund? We're only about $100 away!

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
Oh god. If it was my cat she would have been like “freedom!” And likely end up on the roof.
Today has a new review in from @sonicbug.bsky.social with what continues to be one of the more interesting series of the season.
AI is incapable of understanding the human emotion of art. It cannot understand how words impact these human emotions.
When I was translating Showa: A History of Japan, there were MANY times I was crying at my keyboard. My job was to make you cry at the same time.
AI cannot cry. It cannot do this.
The cover of The Complete Persepolis by Marianne Satrapi.
Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).
One of the few good human only translation companies gets bought out by company that uses slop.
So apparently Seven Seas had a panel at CitrusCon earlier today, where the reps talked about how proud they were to be independently owned... and then literally an hour after the panel ended the Media Go purchase news went live.

THERE'S A LION
OH MY GOD

30 years ago, Pokémon entered the world.
Years earlier, the project nearly died.
Here's the bonkers behind-the-scenes story of the creation of a tiny GameBoy game that would become a rival to Mickey Mouse.
Some bot account complaining about pronouns in bio shit. I asked the bot to write a poem about pangolins and it did
It happened again
