A reminder for those at the back.
A redraw of the i nice panel from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman snaps a rifle in two over his knee.

He says "THIS is the weaponnof the enemy. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it."

I've replace the rifle with a plank of wood labelled "AI Slop"

Omar is my congresswoman. She is excellent and has a lock on the district because we all know it. The attacks against her are 100% racist. This action is entirely untethered from reality— there’s nothing to find, only hollow agencies acting out dementia fantasies.

Starting today, Æthernaut will be presented as an illustrated serialized novel rather than a webcomic. The illustrations on their own will form a looser but essentially complete narrative. Illustrations with full text will be at www.patreon.com/aethernaut #weirdFantasy #earlymodern #steampunk
In the foreground is a pen with two lunar hounds, both giant canine heads with limbs and tail attached. Denumar is to one side of the pen, contorting his body to resemble to hounds. One hound is snarling at him. Emma stands at the other railing, stroking another hound's nose. Behind them is an expansive kept greenscape and a large manor house. Nearer the house, a horse drawn carriage with a strange machine on top is out of control, and some figures are running around near it. A caption reads, "I know something happened on that voyage. Something that's gravely affected Lemuel."

Really great thread here and this essay is wonderful. It makes me feel more sane for being long repulsed by this ghoul of a show.
It is a performance of joy so excessive, so desperate, that it reveals the void it attempts to cover. It is the logic of the assembly line applied to human connection. What Fallon offers is a standardized production of “fun” that feels increasingly like a desperate plea to ignore the crumbling world outside the studio walls.

panel 1: caption reads, "A local vote is personal." A few anonymous figures stand on oversized open books, wearing different colored hats. Standing on one side of a book, a person with no hat says "We're on the same page!" as they shake the hand of a person in a yellow-green hat. 
panel 2: caption reads, "A national vote is tactical." One one side of a chasm, there is a library. On the other side, people in red hats drive around in Mad Max-style vehicles and shoot weapons everywhere. A person leans out of a window at one end of the library, waving at a person leaning out at the other end with a blue hat, and says "We're both in a library!"

panel 3. Porcupine: There's only two ways for all this to go-- either you all go down in disgrace, or democracy dies in America! Didn't you ever think about that?
