Had to blow off an important staff meeting this afternoon to sort out the complete snafu with my meds at the doctors. 45 minutes later, and I've come away with a promise of meds "this afternoon".

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads: 

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”

I still find it astonishing that Sir Ian Livingstone is the only person knighted for services to the UK games industry. Film, TV and sport are constantly recognised with knighthoods, yet one of Britain's biggest creative industries has had just one.

Itō Jakuchū's 'Frog' of 1790 for me is the iconic image of numbed uncomfortable bafflement at the predicament of existence in the coming modern world, much as Munch's 'Scream' expressed it through horror.

\stolen off a friend. This is so true. Got a flyer from our local little theatre about a Gilbert & Sullivan production they're staging. Was mildly interested until I realised it was all done with AI slop. It went in the bin.
An anti-AI post that reads: Your AI event posters: - use fake fonts that cannot be read easily by the visually impaired or those with Dyslexia. - are crowded and over-stimulating, hiding the important details and information. - use mixed, muddied, and unappealing colors. -are hated and ignore by the younger generation, artists, and environment activists. I made this poster in 20 minutes. It's clear, concise, and easy to read. Intent matters, your vent matters. Stop the slop. Artists against AI.

l've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.
