This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

All you newbies drawing their first comic and haven't printed their comic before: 300 dpi, CMYK colours, bleed and safety, 0 0 0 100 K black text on a separate layer. Make sure you have all of these on all of your comics files, otherwise you'll end up like me having to fix 660 pages of my webcomic

Well this is grim

weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt

and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here"

the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine

with the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world

but with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED

this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me.

he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood

Apparently the McD's employee who ratted out Luigi's Mansion might not even get paid, in case you were thinking they were in the right.

Hands are at least hard to draw so I can understand wanting something else to do it for you. AI generating basic shapes is...lol MS PAINT has shape tools. These clowns paid a huge company to tell an AI to make a speech bubble and it couldn't even do that right. Incredible.

I'm sorry, since when is this a debate? Turn your phone off before I break it. Skimmed the article and apparently it's about outrage over...people POSTING SPOILERS CAPTURED ON PHONE CAMERAS DURING THE MOVIE??? Jail for 1000 years. Turn that shit off.

I feel the same way about assisted dying as I do the death penalty: the dying isn't the problem, the problem is who *decides* who should die and why.

A jack o lantern with a leaf hat and cape, supporting himself upright with his own vines.

Same jack o lantern as before but with the leaf cape removed to better see his body just being coiled vines. Rather snake like in structure.
