I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.

The rights of teenage citizens have been gradually undermined since the 1950s, so that they now have less freedom than active-duty military personnel. Over the past decade even their rights of in-person free association have been dramatically curtailed, and now governments want to stop them...

YES THAT'S WHAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS AND THATS WHY WE DON'T USE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

We are increasingly being encouraged to integrate generative AI into research and teaching. Individuals use it for writing, planning and teaching; universities are experimenting with embedding it into curricula. However, my case reveals a fundamental weakness: these tools were not developed with academic standards of reliability and accountability in mind.

digital comic panel 1/7

z'ahra, a miqo'te warrior of light, takes a hard hit from the sword of the tyrant. metem exclaims from off-panel, "oh, my! that had to hurt!"

digital comic panel 2/7

alisaie and g'raha watch the fight from the stands. alisaie is furious. "that bastard! let me in the ring! I'll finish him!" g'raha, on the other hand, is stricken by the sight.

digital comic panel 3/7
the sight of z'ahra taking a severe blow seems to be having a toll on g'raha. alisaie's shouts of encouragement to z'ahra: "ahra, get up! z'ahra!" fade around him.

digital comic panel 4/7

z'ahra is laid out on the ground, blood trickling from his mouth and nose. he's unconscious. metem, from off-panel, exclaims, "oh, dear. the challenger isn't getting up!"

digital comic panel 5/7
metem's next speech bubble transitions from blue to black and red. z'ahra's unconscious pose is mirrored in this panel, though z'ahra's eyes are open and blank, and something is oozing from his mouth. he is dead-- this is a glimpse of g'raha's memory of finding z'ahra after he was killed by black rose.

digital comic panel 6/7

alisaie has noticed g'raha's shift in mood. she looks over at him worriedly. "raha, are you all right?"

digital comic panel 7/7
the world around g'raha is darkening. he trembles, clutching at his chest. alisaie, from off-panel, says, "g'raha?"

Do not use the news as a self-flagellation device, it does not help you, and it does not help those around you. Read about events, and intake what you can, but be strict about what you can tolerate and what you cannot. You can't help other people if you're actively hurting yourself.

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?
The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

I realize several hours after the fact that just clicking "like" isn't really a clear enough expression of intention, so: I'd definitely be interested to see it (depending on time e.t.c) Also goes along with a thought from Strixmas that you could stream some longer games to reduce intro vid work
