@ethanmarcotte.com Hi Ethan. I don't know if you'll see this, but I had You Deserve a Tech Union on my Kobo Wishlist for a while and noticed it's no longer available. Is another edition coming, or should I seek it elsewhere? Thanks!

"… hinting at the presence of a giant planet about ten times as massive as Jupiter." I think I'm going to trust Randy and say this is still a Dyson Sphere: "Every thousand years / This metal sphere / Ten times the size of Jupiter / Floats just a few yards past the Earth." (Built to Spill)

Declan Rice should have gotten a red and Mexico was denied at least two clear penalties. I don’t know how anyone can feel good about that.

With @darkhorse.com selling out and reprinting @evandorkin.bsky.social's Nerd Inferno (and don't forget last year's Beasts of Burden omnibus!), people should hunt down Hectic Planet. I put together a guide of sorts to help folks wade through the publication history. denmchenry.com/posts/hectic...

The problem with being a person who is good at something like content operations, is that if I do my job well, everything runs smoothly and my work is invisible. I'm not particularly career-minded, and just like things to be good, but I wish for this type of impact was more valued.

Neville Southall, affectionately known as Big Nev, played for Everton Football Club from 1981 to 1998, and is widely regarded as their greatest ever goalkeeper, and arguably the greatest goalkeeper of his era. Tools: Tombow Fudenosuke WS-BH brush pen, Copic N2 and N4 markers.

Correction: Everton's landlord tried to start another club called Everton in retaliation when they moved over high rent. He wasn't permitted to use the name and settled on Liverpool. #ifYouknowYourHistory #efc #evertonFc #everton

another way to put this: if somebody says something, you don't directly engage with what they said Instead you turn to everybody else and say "ok let me tell you why they're saying this" instead of replying you're annotating

We dont “receive and process information” from the environment. We experience and perceive the world because the way we function is through the transformation and exchange of physical material with the environment, an ability completely out of scope for computers and MATH.

I came up with the term Inclusive Front to mean the band of people who care about the web's inclusivity. It's a play on words; we largely work on the front end, but I feel at times we're also like a political 'popular front' against a poorly built web that excludes people. I've had stickers made!
A packet of holographic stickers on sheets from Sticker App.

Each sticker has the text:
#inclusive.front{}A single #inclusive.front{} sticker stuck on top of a Web Platform sticker (also holographic - much rainbow).

Because @ironspike.bsky.social quote post this with a great @evandorkin.bsky.social page, here's mine from @davidlapham.bsky.social. The last page of Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #25, where Beth, Kretch and Spanish Scott finally get away to Santa Fe for some bonding time over peyote.
Panel 1: Kretch tilts his head back, blissfully humming, "Mmmmm." Panel 2: Beth looks blankly ahead: "That tasted disgusting. I don't feel anything yet." Panel 3: A bird rests on a nearby branch in the desert stillness. 4. In Kretch's mind, with manic glee we see him smashing the butt of his rifle into someone out of frame as blood splatters. 5. A blanket with water and crackers sits in front of them as Kretch and Beth sit cross-legged on either side of Spanish Scott, who's kneeling. Beth rests her head on Scott's shoulder and everyone looks at peace. Scott says, "Love."

Is this a quirky copy of ex.mag 05 by @peow.bsky.social, or does this editorial note collide with this speech balloon in all copies? “Fix this page -red layer”
Text overlaying a speech balloon. The speech balloon says the following (split over 5 lines): "I rarely get to hear your voice since you're not much for conversation… and I do so love your timbre. So won't you read?" Colliding with the words "I rarely get" and "much for" at the beginning of the first and third lines are the following editorial directions: "Fix this page -red layer." The story is printed in black ink with spot red (and gray and pink halftones).

I am not a "tech critic". I am an antifascist, a feminist, an anticapitalist, an engineer. My criticism of tech flows from my politics and values. Not from a desire to save or destroy tech. Tech is an expression of power and that's what the whole conversation is about.
