4 panel comic titled “Controversial”

Panel 1 - a man stands in front of a set of shelves marked with S tier at the top, all the way to D tier at the bottom 

He says “in today’s comic we’ll be ranking cats”

Panel 2 - he places a fluffy cat on the highest shelf marked S tier 

He says “here’s where mine goes”

Panel 3 - we see him putting another cat in the A tier shelf. A lady looks on angrily.

She says “you’re only putting mine in a-tier!?”

Panel 4 - 
We see the cat climbing up to the top shelf with the others 

The man says “yeah, but they all climb to the top no matter where I put them”

When some comics became intangible online, paper became *visible* to artists again, leading to beautiful new paper comics. Now, when some "art" becomes inhuman, *we* become visible to ourselves again. What beautiful new *human* art might be the result?
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Butterbutt. An older comic.
A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

A warm drawing of a black cat wearing a witch hat and dressed in a coat and patchwork scarf. They sit atop an old-fashioned suitcase and hold a book and wand, with a stack of books beside them and a broom leaning against the case. Sunflowers and a signpost with a wagon symbol on it frame the background as they watch for their ride back to school.

To you, it sounds like solidarity or a good reason for not showing solidarity. To us, it sounds like “I don’t want any discomfort, so I won’t be making an effort to keep you safer.” Guys who are afraid of being treated the way gay guys are are also afraid of being treated the way women are.

So I actually hear some variation of this a lot, mostly revolving around “I don’t want people to make suppositions about me that lead to unpleasant comments or violence”. Here’s the thing. You’re afraid they’ll treat you like they treat us. It’s not as comforting as you seem to think.

“Bullseye” Autumn is coming. Beware the rogue leaf! Available as a giclée art print in my Etsy shop. Find it here: theartofrobhusberg.etsy.com/listing/8763...
“Bullseye”
giclée art print 

We’re in the middle of autumnal woods and the leaves are falling. Our cat friend has been enjoying a solitary, undisturbed meander amongst the trees, savoring the sights, sounds, and smells, when a rather bold leaf has the temerity to land on and stick to the middle of his face. Such undignified effrontery! He is clearly quite consternated. A rather bemused little bird looks on from a safe distance in the branches above. 

Rendered in black ballpoint pen & coloured pencil on toned paper. The leaf is the only thing in the drawing that’s in colour.

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...
If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”
