On Oct. 4, 1957, the Avro Arrow was unveiled with the intention of it being the RCAF's primary interceptor in the 1960s. Less than two years later, the program was abruptly cancelled and 14,528 Avro employees were put out of work. This is the story. 📸 LAC 🧵 1/12

I know most of you guys don't go on the other app but the pope posted an anti AI/ pro artists statement yesterday, and the ensuing cope and memes is really funny

Pope Leo XIV
@Pontifex

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent 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.

2016: I will never fight a holy war

2019: Pope Leo I am ready launch me towards the nearest data center

some AI guy saying he makes christian children's books with AI asking the pope if that is ok then and someone posting a meme react with the pope holding a baseball bat saying 'did I stutter'

With alt text. I know someone who actually did this

kbarton1001
On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

I had a conversation w a Lyft driver a few weeks ago that I still think about. I hope this musician, eager to share her art, finds her way to teaching. While the conversation started rocky, Im glad she got an opportunity to talk about her ambitions. Piano teachers are way more valuable than A.I.

I picked up this issue years after the fact simply because it has Jonah Hex in it. Matter of fact, I believe the shop owner gave it to me for free because it's so awful.

New topic in Sunglar's Musings: “Comics That Inspire My Gaming”! Today I look at Hex (1985). Jonah Hex gets pulled into a Mad Max-style future featuring giant robots and Batman 2050. It’s great TTRPG inspiration for Deadlands: Hell on Earth! Read it here: www.facebook.com/share/p/1DwW...

One of my favorite Jonah Hex covers, but also one of the most heartbreaking.

It's bizarre to me that I'll have multiple Jonah Hex covers to choose from very soon. Like, that ain't normal for him! On that note, I'm about 100% certain that I'll be buying the Cloonan cover for #3.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

Exploited mine workers ask the hard traveling heroes for help against their employer and his personal army of goons. Green Lantern questions helping them since their boss is the owner of the mine and the ultimate authority in town. This causes Green Arrow to blow a fuse. - Green Lantern #77 ('70)

Green Arrow lectures Green Lantern --

"Oh boy! NOW I've heard it all! Because Soames muscled his way into authority, he's a good guy, huh?

Pal -- Hitler was the "Boss" of Germany, remember?

And there was Genghis Khan, Nero...

Throughout history, cheap punks have made themselves leaders! Regardless of their titles, they were still cheap punks!"

Green Lantern #77, June 1970 by Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams & Frank Giacoia.

Writers used to be able to live comfortably off the sale of a short story or two a month. Authors like Terry Pratchett made enough money selling silly fantasy books in the 80's that they quit their day jobs. That doesn't happen any more.

It wasn't until we saw the rerelease of Transformers: The Movie last night that I realized the franchise had a connection to Jonah Hex. I spotted Romeo Tanghal's name while we were in the theatre, and when I popped in the DVD at home to get this screen shot, I saw Eufronio (E.R.) Cruz as well!

The letter clipped here was one of many sent in to the Jonah Hex comic in the early 1980s as fans started up a campaign to (unsuccessfully) get Clint Eastwood to star in a Hex movie, unaware that he nearly had in the 1970s. screenrant.com/was-jonah-he...

The Mona Lisa was a commissioned art piece, Sistine Chapel was commissioned, Guernica was commissioned … a *huge* amount of art was the product of Artists having Patrons or being Commissioned for a specific piece … Illustration is Art and it’s *weird* to hear anyone claiming otherwise.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth
