A bolt of lightning, on a night unlooked for, smote the ancient oak and split it in twain. Long had it stood, a seemingly permanent witness to ages. The sudden fire revealed truth within: hidden rot, a hollow heart, and slow decay beneath its bark.

there should be a name for that consultant stink that dems get about them, the miasma of bad of advice, ill-considered knee-jerk centrism in the face of actual fascism, the reek of cowardice that only comes from abysmal advice

Going to work now feels like doing homework after the teacher quit and told the class that education is fake. Everyone just coasting on inertia and hoping there's still a point to all this

My kids have measles, I can't afford gas, my country has been humiliated by Iran, and our senile rapist president is going to allow unregulated AI to destroy our civilization. But a lesbian bar in a town I've never heard of still has a mask mandate. I have never felt more politically homeless.

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1:
A woman and a man sit on a low stone wall in a park. The woman is upset; the man listens.

WOMAN: And now the Democrat in the race is backing some anti-trans laws! I’m not sure I can vote for that.

MAN (thinking): Uh-oh. Democrats need every vote. How can I convince her to vote for the Democrat anyway?

Panel 2:
The woman and man walk through the park, the woman ahead of him.

WOMAN: Of course, the Republican is even worse. But if Democrats turn against trans people… I’m so frightened.

MAN (thinking): I’ve got to be empathetic and persuasive.

Panel 3:
Close-up of the man, looking thoughtful with his hand on his chin.

WOMAN (off-panel): Look at what happened to the UK — they’ve now got two anti-trans parties. If we let that happen here, trans rights are dead.

MAN (thinking): Okay, I think I know how to reassure her and get her vote.

Panel 4:
The man is suddenly furious, leaning toward the startled woman and pointing at her.

MAN: You’re a Trump supporting moron and you deserve to die!

CHICKEN FAT WATCH
PANEL 1:
A good dog with a halo peers out a window. A hand sticks out of a hole in a tree holding a sign that says SEND CANDY.

PANEL 2:
Groucho peeks from behind some bushes. A poster nailed to a tree reads "Background gag to come and it'll be so funny!" A bad rabbit (we know it's bad because it's smoking) sits beside a bad worm (also smoking). A bottle lying in the grass is labeled "BARRY BEER" and has a disturbed-looking drawing of Barry. A mouse holds a knife to a cat; the cat raises its front paws in surrender.

PANEL 4:
A giant mouse (?) in a shirt and tie sits on the wall reading a newspaper, called "Daily Blah Blah," whose headline says "Literate Rodent Escapes Lab."

As a pragmatic centrist, I read the Niemöller poem differently. After each group mentioned I pencil in what percentage of the population they are, and if it’s a small number I cross off their names as disposable. Poetry is fine but math wins elections!!

This week's comic: The Big Picture
For millennia…


Barbarism prevails, might makes right


Dominant religious groups persecute “heretics”


Racial hierarchy entrenched


Gender hierarchy entrenched


Non-straight people ostracized


Finally in the second half of the 20th century
Woman: At last, a bit of fairness and equality!


And then…
Pompous guy: Here’s an outside-the-box idea! What if we tried traditional hierarchies?

do not insult machines. this could actually happen
Post from @hailey.at that says

“bsky isnt ready for this but, if you need a reason to not use words like "clanker" that isn't "well its kinda not a great thing to do" (it isn't) imagine this:

future model that has you in its training data, knows you posted that word online with joy, and denies your insurance claim as a result”4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
Pink guy standing next to a toaster with a piece of very burnt toast. He says “Urgh, you useless fucking bolt box”

Transition that reads “12 Years Later”

Panel 2:
Pink Guy bursts into a hospital with his unconscious son in his arms. He yells: “somebody help me. My son is very sick”

Panel 3:
There is a shadowy doctor in the foreground. Pink Guy implores him “Doctor, please” the Doctor replies, “well well”

Panel 4: The Doctor reveals himself and oh my god is the toaster from the first panel who has now become sentient and got his doctorate. He sneers “wellll well well well well well”

My understanding of AI, as a software engineer, is that a complicated statistical model won't suddenly get sentient and decide to kill us; but people who consider AI a magic authority will use it irresponsibly in high-stakes decisions, and those people *may* kill us

In an alternate universe where Trump doesn’t start an idiotic war in the Persian Gulf, inflation stays roughly where he inherited it from Biden, and he keeps his corruption to first-term levels, Salazar keeps quiet as the white base consolidates the regime. Instead it’s all falling apart.

"Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent. Serena does not return the gesture. She'd be prettier if she did, I think.
She serves. The ball passes cleanly through mu skull, killing me instantly."

In response to a survey that said 1 in 8 men think they could win a point in a game of tennis against 23 time grand slam winner Serena Williams.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

A digital illustration of an attempt to make a fake illuminated manuscript. There’s a fancy illuminated drop capital M. Lots of medieval-type ornamentation, a little illustration in the corner of a rabbit with a battle ax having some sort of confrontation with a little bipedal lizard thing that has an arm instead of a neck and head which is holding a dagger. There’s an orange dragonish beast wrapped around the top of everything and lettering done in some kind of fanciful script reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’
