This month, I made more from selling a couple of other people's books on ebay than writing an entire book and selling hundreds of copies. Will that deter me from writing more? Yes. Will I let commerce ruin the enjoyment of creating art? Yes.

A four panel meme from "The White Lotus," S3, Ep,6, Panel 1:  Saxton: Why can't you just like my geneative A*I art?
 Panel 2: Chelsea:  You have to be vulnerable enough to be bad at something to be good at it, but you're too much of a coward.
Panel 3: Chelsea: Because you're soulless.
Panel 4: Saxton disassociating

mr beast talking about the human lives he has trapped in simultaneous simulations with "cant wait to upload these" is why black mirror can never be as good as it used to be
mr beast tweet reads: I have a pilot living in a $2,500,000 private jet and if he doesn’t leave for 100 days he keeps it, a cop/criminal in a jail and if they don’t leave for 100 days they win $500,000, and someone living in a gym until he loses 100 pounds for $500,000. Can’t wait to upload these 🥰

Me if I was severed, probably.
Three panel comic. In the first, panel, a woman is at her office desktop. In the second, we see a computer screen which reads, "sexiest numbers: 2 5 4 3 1 6 5". In the third, the woman is at her desktop exactly as in the first panel, but smiling and thinking, "I like my job".

I barely listen to Radiohead now, but I've put The Bends on for the 30th anniversary today and bloody hell, it takes me back. An LP perfectly timed for that great river of melancholy that emerges during puberty and carries one forth to the grave. That's my cheery Thought For The Day, you're welcome.

What a day
4 panel comic: 

Panel 1: momo and forg are in the city, seemingly in front of a bus stop. Colors are all muted tan. Momo says “truly”
Panel 2: they are now on the bus. There’s a happy blobby bus driver in front and you can see momo through the window in the back while the bus races out of the city. Momo says “the best day”
Panel 3: momo and forg are now on a little rural path between pink flowers. They are walking on all fours. Momo says “is a day spent”
Panel 4:  They are in a forest environment away from everything. Forg finally looks at momo while momo continues “with you”
