been thinkin about how robots are gonna kill us
Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.
Panel 1: 
Titled:“How we thought robots would kill us”
A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

3 panel comic titled “Logging into Bluesky”

Panel 1: 
A Pink Guy bursts into Bluesky wearing a t-shirt that says “Fun”. His little face looks so happy.

Panel 2: 
Six Bluesky users turn to look at the Pink Guy. They all look dour and angry because they have been overdosing on the discourse. Having the current state of the world mainlined into their veins for 22 hours a day has left them real grumpy.

Panel 3:
Pink Guy slowly removes his t-shirt and quietly says “sorry”. He won’t soon forget that Bluesky is the home of Serious Discussion. If he wants “Fun” maybe he should log into the Barney the Dinosaur forums.

When The Media Sees Fascism
4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
Reporter standing next to an angry red guy wearing three swastikas
Reporter: This guy’s wearing three swastikas

Panel 2: 
Newsreader back in the studio: Well, let’s not jump to conclusions, Mike. Perhaps it’s the swastika in its original context as a symbol of positivity 

Panel 3: 
Reporter looks on as red guy does something out of shot
Reporter: He’s using a brick to beat a brown man

Panel 4: 
Newsreader: In a positive way?

Hi @greenburgerlit.bsky.social ! Could you explain, for the audience, what the maths are behind you putting in for 25% of Anthropic compensation on books you agented? Why is it 25% of the full sum, and not, say, 15% of the author share? Why should you get anything?

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?”

So Burnham's just Manchesterised Labour's existing policies and people are jizzing with excitement? I will never again underestimate the British public's ability to be hoodwinked so easily by someone pretending to be "one of us". Same old book, different cover. 🙄 #Labour #AndyBurnham

The Struggles Of Elon Musk 😔
A cartoon made in response to an Elon Musk tweet that reads “Whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” really knew what they were talking about 😔”

The black and white cartoon shows Musk standing against the wind. There is a distant expression on his face and a single tear being blown from his left eye.
He wraps his arms around himself, trying to keep warm. The world is so cruel to him. Punishing him for the meagre crime of hoarding massive amounts of wealth and showing no empathy for the vulnerable. Also, he uses his platform to boost racism, misogyny, and white supremacy but seriously guys who would hold that against a fella?

Next to him a caption reads “Being a shit person is ruining my life”

It takes a long time to undo 14 years of Tory fuckery. Anyone who thinks it can be done overnight needs to grow up and get over themselves. If Burnham becomes PM, the right-wing media will back calls for a GE. A Burnham government will lose. Reform will win. The UK is full of entitled morons.

Social media companies could do more to help. Parents can too. Does your kid really need that smart phone? Surely a normal cell phone will do. A few years ago you'd see kids talking to each other while waiting for the school bus. Now they're all staring at their phones. At least Starmer is trying.
