think what's interesting about this too is that I have no sense of how others feel about this - we're clearly in a minority on this website by being stridently anti-AI, but does that really mean other people don't.....meaningfully care about the phenomenon below? I find that so weird to contemplate!

Comics people often insist that you should avoid having two characters simply sitting and talking. Here are two pages from a recent installment of Brink. Two characters sitting talking. Its utterly engrossing.

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

If we really wish to prevent a Reform government it is much more important that Labour changes the voting system than replaces one wooden leader with another. At the bare minimum give us single transferable vote. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/in-...

In a multiparty system, first past the post no longer works

After a drubbing in local elections, Labour must make bold policy changes and implementing electoral reform is a top priority

Can't help thinking that this photo of Gorton & Denton Reform candidate Matt Goodwin with Steve Bannon - convicted fraudster, close friend & enabler of Jeffrey Epstein, promoter of violence to overturn a US election & admirer of Satan - has not had the coverage it deserves.

Photo: Steve Bannon and Matt Goodwin shaking hands and grinning together.
Quote from Steve Bannon: "Darkness is good... Darth Vader. Satan. That's power. It only helps us when they get it wrong. When they're blind to who we are and what we're doing."
- Steve Bannon, convicted fraudster, enabler of Jeffrey Epstein, friend of Nigel Farage and Matt Goodwin

In huge positive news, the Australian government just ruled out handing the work of their country’s creatives to AI companies for free 🙌 They resisted the well-funded tech lobby & shut down proposals to upend copyright law. Other governments should do the same! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It's been a weird year for my drawing. It kind of peaked using a computer and I wasn't able to sustain or replicate the results I was getting. With all the Ai shenanigans going on at the minute, my response is to go back to basics and draw freehand with a brush pen. Drawing direct.

Here's a better idea: every data centre you build, you build enough renewable energy to power it, and you supply the waste heat from your cooling system to power homes and businesses nearby. Simple. Common sense. And fair.
