Yahoo‘s AI scared me for a moment - gave this „summary“ of our flight back from Amsterdam leaving TWO weeks late. 😳 Then I remembered it was AI and looked for the actual reservation which was still for Oct 12. Fuck, I hate this „tool.“

just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

Weirdly, we tried cauliflower crust pizza a few time and it’s really quite good. For that meal. The next day, horrible. Cold leftover pizza is supposed to be fantastic. 😡 Goes from the top of the scale to the bottom very quickly.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

Designs for ticket punches, c. 1914 from "Hardware, Tools & Supplies - Catalogue No. 500,” Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co., New York Image: International Tool Catalog Library Collection via @archive.org; archive.org/details/hamm...

A catalog page on sepia paper titled "Designs For Ticket Punches." The page features a grid of several hundred unique, numbered ticket punch silhouettes including symbols and icons like hearts, stars, anchors, letters, numbers 1-9, arrows, a tree, bell, train car, moon, anvil, hat, horse head, and many that just seem abstract. The footer reads "PAGE 626" and "SEE DISCOUNT SHEET."

Archivist’s note: “The (catalog) scan is from the Internet Archive's Smithsonian Libraries collection … The catalog was issued in 1914 or 1915 according to magazines of the period.”

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

Recap: The Non-Adventures of Wonderella has been back after a five-year hiatus. Rita's Wonderella now. Dana caused a global pandemic and got cancelled. Everything else is as dumb as before. I update when I can. First return strip: nonadventures.com/2025/01/02/u...

Comic panel showing a frosted, icy window from inside a cryo-freeze chamber. Through the fogged glass, Dana — a woman with dark hair and a tiara, wearing a green top — waves excitedly with both hands. Speech bubble: 'Good news, Ma!' Second bubble: 'We finally found a cure for your ligma!'"

Panel 2:
"The cryo chamber door bursts open. Titania, an older woman with silver hair, a red spiked tiara, and grey armored superhero costume, dramatically grips the open hatch overhead. She says, 'Don't be silly, darling.' Rita, standing beside her in a green top, replies, 'You know these five-year cryofreezes do wonders on my buccal fat.'"
