Garffeld Pt 18

A longer Garffeld comic strip: panel 1, Garffeld sits by a moonlit window, thinking "The hour is upon us."; panels 2-4, Garfield's face becomes demonic, he thinks "A pact with the devil is made. His dark arts grant me power. I attend the black mass."; panel 5, Garffeld is crouched like a beast, "I commune with daemons."; panel 6, he snarls, "I prepare a feast of flesh."; panel 7, he turns to see a crucifix, followed by a panel of red, medieval lettering, "Fie!"; the final panel, a pale Garffeld is lying on his back on a table, Jon and a priest are standing over him. Jon says, "He consorted with the devil by the pale moonlight."

I’ve been sharing a lot of little games recently, nominally as part of a UX experiment, but also just because I’m having fun. Here’s the complete set! The idea was to drop users straight into something and teach the interaction through the design. I’ll let you judge, but I’d claim moderate success.

one of the key factors in the souring of Silicon Valley culture is the whole "acceptance of failure" element... it's one thing to not let the failure of some enterprise SaaS startup hold you back, but when your startup causes children to self-harm at scale maybe that failure should stick with you

to move the argument up another layer of abstraction: Silicon Valley culture developed in a period where its social impact was relatively limited, and as "software ate the world" and its social impact has massively expanded those cultural values haven't been updated to reflect such responsibility

satan infestation

A drawing of a messy room with torn curtains and a stool knocked over and stains everywhere, with little round devils everywhere.
Narrative text says "my home is now infested with Satans. My landlord is refusing to do anything about it. She just keeps saying 'it's in the lease. They can be here. It's allowed.
Well, I looked in the lease and it looks like someone scribbled the word 'satan' on it with a crayon.
that was not there when I signed the lease."

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This was another plank of the so-called 'long tail' model of digital culture, that you could make a living by giving away your main stuff for free and then charging for merch, which missed that most people aren't going to buy extraneous merch even of what they like or love

delighted to share with you a few slides from my powerpoint on the culture industry, which I first made in 2015 (?), pre-AI, and have added to, little by little, over the years, as the processes of homogenization have intensified & the smothering sameness of mainstream ideas become more choking: +

Slide from Culture Industry lecture: The Culture Industry / Art Under Late Capitalism. "The whole world is passed through the filter of the culture industry" (99).

Deepak Karra (deepak_karra on IG) captured this shot of a pink robin, native to the forests of South Australia & Tasmania. In technical terms, this is a bird shaped like an orb, or 'BORB'. 🐦🟣 Reminder that this little guy is a direct descendant of theropod dinosaurs like T. rex. (📷: Deepak Karra)

A poof of bright pink belly feathers that looks like one of those fuzzy pencil-toppers is surmounted by a dark grey head in which is a wary dark eye. It's gripping a pink flowering branch that changes from nearly vertical to actually vertical, requiring a sort of death grip by the legs.
