"We need to make books cool again. 📚 If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them. Don’t let them explore you until they’ve explored the secret universes of books. Don’t let them connect with you until they’ve walked between the lines on the pages." John Samuel Waters

when ai leaves u behind
7 panel comic.

Panel 1:
A Red Guy with AI across his chest looks like he’s about to run away. A Yellow Guy stands next to him. Red Guy says “I’m the future, buddy. You comin’?”
Yellow Guy replies “Nah”

Panel 2: 
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6: 
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Panel 7:
AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy. 
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

I struggled to contain my rage this past week reading about the Cornell Seven. Rage towards men who use the degradation of women as a bonding activity. Rage towards the cowards who stay silent and perpetuate the system they benefit from.

One Halloween I *believed* I was micro-dosing while reading a Harry Houdini biography. When the words formed into a hot air balloon on the page and then floated far away from me, I knew something had gone horribly wrong...

I really wish the world’s most dangerous, extreme anti-vaccine activist & conspiracy theorist, RFK Jr, who is a eugenicist & a MAHA dude who repeatedly peddles vile lies, had not been put in charge of the US health system Here he is telling truly horrific, dangerous lies about HPV & COVID vaccines
RFK Jr saying that the HPV vaccine increases the risk of cervical cancer & the Covid vaccine increases the risk of Covid—these are 2 dangerous lies

Forget shame, be all about what you like and what you want. The fascists want to kill us anyway, so toning down to appease them will just make you miserable. (Which is what they want.) (PS if shame is your kink, keep doing it!)

Make stuff. Do your hobbies. Geek out with your weird friends. Practice arts and crafts. Every society that ever burned to the ground left behind only the handicrafts, and every society saved from the brink was saved only by arts. Do not give up the joy of creating.

Someone at work once asked me what my guilty pleasure was and I immediately shot back “pleasure never makes me feel guilty.” I’ve seldom felt cooler than I did in that moment. Literally one minute later I tripped on an extension cord and hit my head on a whiteboard in front of the entire office

AI marketers knew that this environment we live in right now, where people will never admit to being wrong is one of the only reasons AI is still in the news. People know they've been scammed but they will not take the off-ramp and admit it for fear of not being right on the internet

Ever notice how much harder women and non-white people have it when it comes to harassment? And how few editors and colleagues are willing to put their body in front of the blow? Ever notice how women and non-white gamers are treated as a niche and white men as the core audience?

we live in a world where "humanity is rotten to the core" is a more tolerable idea than "capitalism is kinda busted" but what I love about "capitalism is kinda busted" is realizing every good thing that happens is in spite of capitalism because humans are that committed to doing good things

I find it infuriating that nations who for decades have profited off the exploitation of immigrant labour, who have indeed engineered the conditions for that exploitation through making the countries of origin nigh unliveable, now dare to turn around and call migrants a drain. Absolutely maddening.
