Me: oh wow, this shop has everything my heart desires!

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

kittydesade

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I'm trying to tell you that I'm evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Me, also increasingly exasperated: I know what capitalism is too goddammit

PANEL 1: A GRIZZLED MAN pacing in a grey hallway on a spaceship. He's wearing a boiler suit and holding a knife.
GM: NOW I KNOW ONE OF YOU BASTARDS IS A SECRET "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" SENT HERE TO KILL THE REST OF US.
GM: AND *WE AIN'T LEAVING THIS ROOM* UNTIL WE FIND HIM…AND KILL 'EM!

PANEL 2: Three more CREWMEN respond.
CREWMAN 2: I- I TOLD YOU SIR, I'M A HUMAN! FLESH AND BLOOD!
CREWMAN 3: ME TOO! I SWEAR!
CREWMAN 4: HEY, HOW DO WE KNOW *YOU* AIN'T IT?

PANEL 3: Back on the GRIZZLED MAN, who pricks his arm with knife, dripping a small amount of blood.
GM: PLEASE.
GM: HOW ABOUT THE NEW GUY. YOU'RE AWFULLY QUIET.

PANEL 4: Just to the right of CREWMAN 3, a COMPUTER MONITOR is on the table, with a pixelated emoticon smiley face on it.
COMPUTER: Hello there! It seems like you're looking for who the computer might be – I bet I can help! Let's all take a look at the facts together.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

VPN bans are a direct response to age-verification. Legislators are frustrated that people are getting around their surveillance, but rather than rethink their strategy, they're doubling down and banning VPNs. Fight the Flock-ing of the internet.

Cropped and memed screenshot from an episode of Star Trek TNG, of an unsuspecting Captain Picard just as he's about to be hit in the head by Deanna Troi. She's grimmacing with the effort, holding her hands together as she gives him the old Captain Kirk Special, a double handed punch. Picard is labeled "Me" and Troi is labeled "The memory of that embarrassing thing I did one time 25 years ago"

A man stands at the ticket counter of a movie theater. An employee asks if he’d like to upgrade his ticket. “Would you like to upgrade to Cinema VIP? You can pause the film for bathroom breaks.”  Our man is intrigued by the offer. Next slide. Inside the movie theater. The film has been paused and the movie screen lets the audience know: “PAUSED FOR VIP.” Our man stands at the center of the theater with his hands raised and a VIP badge attached to a lanyard around his neck. He’s part of the Cinema VIP program but at what cost? The other patrons have become increasingly upset with the pauses. A chorus of angry voices rain down on the VIP from around the theater. “Sit down, toilet boy,” one woman yells. She’s had enough of his potty breaks. “Oh COME on.” “Get this guy outta here.” “He ruined the trailers, too.” “Take his badge.” “3 times?!” “Put a diaper on.”

How I’ve Been Pronouncing It (Feat. Foghorn Leghorn, my… roommate?)
Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!”
Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?”
Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.”
Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

CITIZENS OF THE UK! I need you to stop what you're doing and watch this 20 minute BBC documentary from 1972 about a new potato-based snack. One that's a bit like crisps but nobody is confident the public will embrace. I think 54 years later we know the answer to that question.

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

TODAY'S COMIC: Someone! www.sheldoncomics.com/comic/someone/
PANEL 1: A tubby, bald man wearing a white collared shirt, with a blue and orange striped tie, holds a AR-type riffle with one hand, shooting into the air. The bright yellow light casts harsh shadows on him.
MAN: Please! Someone stop this weapon that I’m clearly shooting!

PANEL 2: The man bends over to reload the weapon with a “KLAK” sound.
MAN: The weapon keeps reloading itself, with SERO INVOLVEMENT FROM ME!

PANEL 3: The man continues to shoot in to the air.
MAN: I have no agency here! Nothing that I could do —SAY WITH MY OWN FINGERS — could end this!

PANEL 4: The man, still shooting the gun, turns his back, still yelling over his shoulder.
MAN: WHY IS NOBODY STOPPING THIS THING I KEEP DOING???
On the back of his shirt reads: LITERALLY EVERY A.I. COMPANY.
