Trying to find the middle ground between "walking around outside" and "reading books all the time"

Usually my job is a drag. But sometimes I get to make friends with very sweet dogs, and this one stole a kiss from me the other day.
The backseat of a silver pickup. A yellow lab in in the center of the photo, looking at the camera. In front of the dog on the seat is a black and yellow toolbox.
The background is a fully lit treescape, putting the interior of the pickup in shadow.

A longish post which goes beyond the description of the heroic pause. This message is my takeaway
Screen shot from the post linked below. Text reads: 
So here's how I would urge you all to celebrate Stanislav Petrov Day this year. Remember the example of the man who disobeyed orders to ignore what the cutting-edge computer system was telling him to do, and saved untold millions of lives in the process. Whatever an Al is telling you, whether it's a warning of a national security threat or a business efficiency" recommendation or healthcare "cost-saving" or personal "communication tips," do not trust it unreservedly. Do not let yourself become a meat-puppet for unthinking software because it's easier in the short run. Do not take irreversible actions, especially actions putting life at risk, due to AI guidance.

Disobey, always, rather than do something barbarous.

in 2022 I wrote a movie called Route 0. It was submitted to festivals, bounced around a little while, some people read it. Ultimately rejected? But SOMEONE liked it because it was stolen and turned into a movie

I try not to go overboard on media criticism but I do think "the chief executive is openly trying to rig the legislative elections in his party's favor" should merit somewhat higher prominence relative to mundane normalcy horserace coverage.

The Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look. On why the press looks away:

The Bulwark Killed an Investigation into Political Fundraising Spam After Its Publisher Took the Consultants’ Side
This is a story about the Democratic Party captured by its consultants, and about what happens when the pro-democracy press is asked to say so.

this guy got caught because he's dumber than the average cop and chose a woman who wasn't marginalized enough. imagine what happens when a cop does this to, say, a sex worker or a woman with previous charges who are not likely to be willing to report this kind of thing. what do you think happens

Your bad art is better than AI slop.
four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop  or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

#makeaterriblecomicday2026 I lose literally nothing by being honest and showing my work to no one in particular
A comic.
First top right panel: "For a long year I did 12 hour shifts, driving a loooong highway back and forth" with a drawing of a van going down a hill

Panel 2, top right: "Lots of time to think, listen to other people's creativity..." with a drawing of a center console dashboard with knobs and a person driving.

Middle panel, center: "So now, with freshly cut hours and way more time on my hands...." a drawing of an alarm clock on a palm of a hand.

Last panel bottom: "I gotta make stuff myself....and actually show it to strangers."
Drawing of me looking down with slight apprehension and a hand holding a pen to a piece of blank paper.

A slight shadow is on the left side of the apple as wellas the surface it rests on. Lighter sections lf the apple are the direct light source reflection and surface reflection, in the top right and bottom left respectively.

I know extremely little about Cthulu lore, but inspiration comes from odd places. Here's the Queen in Yellow doing a sick teick
A character skateboarding. She has her left arm pointed away from her, and her right hand is holding the board at hip height, with her legs dangling beneath. She has a neon yellow robe on and checkerboard shoes. She also has earbuds in, leading to her pocket. 
She's in a bowl at a skatepark. Graffiti says "Carcosa sux" in the bottom left.
