iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Anybody have kids who've done the CIEE summer abroad program? Alternately, are there any teenagers on this website for 38-year-olds who've done the CIEE summer abroad program recently? What were your experiences? Worth doing? Not worth doing? Secret child labor scam? My older kid is interested.

We put this together very last-minute, BUT if you're in Seattle and feel like popping by on your lunch break tomorrow, I'll be at Phoenix Comics on Capitol Hill to explain the entire Bad Seeds event to you personally! Plus sign anything you like.

"The purpose of these schemes was found to have been to artificially inflate the club’s revenues, and reduce its costs, by more than £900 million." That is an absolutely massive sporting fraud. www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727...

Premier League Statement: Manchester City FC

An independent Commission has found Manchester City FC guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.

I get the desire for a club-owned, soccer specific stadium. But for me personally, unless there were massive improvements to public transit between Seattle and Renton, this would mean giving up season tickets. Plus having to endure the inevitable nonstop "Renton Sounders" jokes

Don't be fooled by the cute face. In the last 2 weeks, this creature has killed and eaten his entire janitorial staff. Two amano shrimp. A detritus worm. At least one ramshorn snail. (He's sizing up another one here.) Now there is algae growing everywhere. Whose fault is that, buddy.

I will readily admit to living in a bubble (forget 2 Americas, I'm in Nth America, there's a car parked on my street w/ Arrest Netanyahu spray-painted on it) but the Choosin Texas thing gave me an existential crisis.

Past the equinox and the garden is still chugging along. (Though I won't show you the sad state of the vegetable bed.) We're on an urban heat island, so we often have something in bloom through October and even into November, though it'll start slowing down as we lose the light.

This sums up my own experience in recent years. My theory is that there are so many genuine existential crises right now that people's instinct is to treat even low-stakes issues (movies! fandoms! personal preferences!) like existential crises. Makes having a normal conversation almost impossible.

As a creator/publisher: I'd REALLY like for Sweet Shop to work out. Post-Amazon buyout, Comixology died on the vine. It's a non-service, at this point. Sweet Shop is run by ppl who actually give a crap about comics and want to make it easier for people to read them. So grab some ultra-cheap books!

I want to emphasize that I'm not a paid shill, but I just noticed that Sweet Shop is debuting with a massive bundle sale with many, many books up to 95% off. Some absolutely wild deals are in that app for the next two weeks. (I recommend the White Ash bundle, because of course I do.)

We are basically like this in research already. Postdocs and PhD students growing plants, doing tissue culture, and pipetting, while AI chat bots doing the analyses, writing proposals and papers. Humans having to do the menial tasks, while AI chat bots took over the creative work.

It was ten years ago today I figured out what Shocker did with the fabric that was left over after he made his costume.

Panel from Superior Foes of Spider-man, drawn by me, color by Rachelle Rosenberg. Shocker is having a tough conversation with the severed head of Silvio Silvermane. It's in his shitty Brooklyn apartment, in front of a couch upholstered with the same yellow and brown fabric as his shocker costume.
