I don't know who needs to hear this but the first draft of anything I write is dogshit. The only reason anything I've written has resonated with anyone is multiple rewrites and long hours staring at the screen not knowing how to say something.

ICE Goons Tracker @icegoons.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

A DoorDash driver did not pose a threat when we was shot in the back by ICE goons. They then refused to render aid and so a local police officer had to intervene and find the bullet hole. The bullet is still in his back after a day & they didn't give him medication for the pain. Sadistic monsters.

ICE Shot a DoorDash Driver in the Back in Austin

Rather than getting him medical help, they carted him off to an ICE detention complex—and the bullet is still in his back.

For my comic, I have moved from iPad -> Huion drawing display (like Wacom but cheaper) -> back to iPad but using Clip Studio Paint this time. I just don't think my back was made for hunching over a drawing display. Having a smaller screen kinda blows, I wish they made a 16" iPad.

As much as I hate AI art, seeing some of the submissions to my free webcomic hosting platform makes me feel at ease. AI music and video might be improving, but AI comics? AI illustrations? Ya'll. They are so bad, and they are not getting better. Makes me want to do a little jig.

The best compressors are... LLMs? Compression and language modeling share a job: predicting what comes next. @anniesexton.com shows how those predictions become fewer bits, and why gzip still gets to keep its all-important job. ↓ www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkUy...

genuinely so frustrated that there aren't more sustainable/water-conscious GPU data centers. AI is genuinely useful but I don't think I will ever have a completely clear conscience until the environmental issues have been addressed. maybe this is a pipe dream, I dunno.

Claude's time estimations are comically inaccurate. Like it doesn't know it's own strength. "This should take about a day" and then its done in an hour. Like bud. You are writing the code. What are you even talking about.

Impossible to overstate how much of my soul is imbued into this post. I wanted to push the boundaries of the web as an education platform. Why _shouldn’t_ we run Kubernetes in the browser to demonstrate for-real what happens, and let you influence it? Hope you love it. 🫶

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

I love running a free webcomic hosting platform except having to chase down all these AI sloppers. They're infrequent, but it feels like a game of whack-a-mole. One person even tried to provide a generated "sketch" of their comic as proof that it was human-made. It had a SynthID.
