I rather like this picture of the sea lion with Morro Rock behind it.

I was chatting with my male coworkers this morning about wild animals and I said that I’d much rather have to deal with a potentially dangerous human than a potentially dangerous animal. They all disagreed, feeling that the human is far more dangerous. In other words, men also choose the bear.

I'm a white Arab American. Most ppl would never know that's my background by looking at me. The day after 9/11, family friends, who did not know, where at the house and openly talking about how all Arabs and Muslims in the US should be rounded up into camps. I was 12 years old. We were never united.

Went to see Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan at the theater. I must have seen that movie over a dozen times growing up, but seeing it on the big screen was a whole other experience. The final battle in the nebula looked especially cool. And I cried like a baby when Spock died.

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads: 

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”

The year is 2024. A WOMAN and a MAN sit at a table in a coffee shop, looking at their phones.

MAN: Of course not. Don’t be hysterical.

Panel 2

The year is 2025. The WOMAN and MAN stand outside in snowy weather; the woman is pointing to something on her phone.

WOMAN: ICE invaded Minneapolis! Masked government agents are kidnapping people! Can we call it fascism now?

MAN: No! It’s bad, but let’s not exaggerate.

Panel 3

The year is 2026. The WOMAN and MAN sit on a park bench. She reads from her phone.

WOMAN: The White House says it’ll eradicate “Antifa militants” and ignore civil liberties. Can we call it fascism yet?

MAN: Enough with the doomerism!

The year is 2030. Armed, armored government troops stand nearby. The WOMAN begins to speak, but the frightened MAN stops her.

WOMAN: Can we—

MAN: Shhh! Do you want to get us arrested?

I had wanted to buy Mongolian riding boots since I’ll be doing a 5 hour trek by horse to visit the reindeer herders, but I was so tired when I got in to Ulaanbaatar that I just never ended up doing it and turns out nobody has them for sale in this town I’m in up north. I am le sad.

Finally got to go to the big ole statue of Chinggis Khan! You can actually go up the statue, where the horse head is, so you get a great view of the landscape and a closeup of the Great Khan’s face. Inside, there was a small but cool museum. Also, there was a giant boot!

Listen. I’m tired. So if you’re a writer and I see you posting an Ai book cover/art that’s just — at best — an instant mute, if not a block. If you’re not supporting other creative industries you don’t deserve my support. And if you support Ai in art, I assume you didn’t write your book/comic/etc.
