Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

So glad Palantir, with its fingers all over our NHS medical data, likes to surveil and implicitly threaten our political representatives. Nothing to worry about here I suspect. www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...

Zero hour contracts, job deskilling, platform capitalism, and the erosion of worker rights... Four panels from my new comic: 🟠⚫ Just Work ⚫🟠 Read the full comic here: tomhumberstone.com/just-work

A comic panel in orange and black.

Image: A mobile phone, tablet and computer. Each have large, intrusive notification symbols popping out of them.

Text: In the era of zero hour contracts and workplace surveillance, we are all finding ourselves working more and being unable to distinguish between working and non-working hours.

A comic panel in orange and black.

Image: A robotic arm holds a paintbrush.

Text: Tech companies developing AI are seeking to replace, automate and deskill any unionised or protected workforce.

A comic panel in orange and black.

Image: Jeffrey Bezos sitting on a throne in a roman-style toga. He's laughing, comfortably louche, holding a glass of wine aloft in celebration as he's being fed grapes.

Text: All with the aim of hoarding wealth at the top and reducing the rights of workers for the jobs that remain.

A comic panel in orange and black.

Image: A row of delivery robots against an abstracted background of a city.

Text: If we don't push back, platform capitalism will eventually erode any worker protections we once had. While they seek to replace us completely. Riders are on the frontlines of this existential struggle.

that's right, Bruce Campbell www.mensjournal.com/entertainmen...

When asked how it’s been for him to see the series transform since its indie beginnings way back in 1981 with director Sam Raimi, Campbell revealed his one issue with the recent installments.

“I’d like more humor back in. The three features have been mostly humorless, and I personally have a problem with that,” he said, echoing a sentiment shared among some of the franchise’s fans. “There’s no point for these to get too grim. You can be scary without being grim.”

“A little more humor wouldn’t kill you,” he added. “And one hero that you really can root for. Ash is an idiot, but you want him to survive.”

“Modern filmmakers love to color their movies like a David Fincher movie, like a hospital room, you know?” Campbell continued. “Gray-green, like a garage. Garage lighting. And so, okay, it’s a choice. It’s not mine. I think even a horror movie can look pretty. Why not throw them off? Make it all look pretty and wonderful, and then let them have it.”

This goes for all art. All mediums. As others have said: it’s not enough to be anti AI art. You also have to be PRO the art you like if you want it to continue to exist. Like indie comics? Buy them. Support the artists. Attend local fairs/cons. Share. Tell others. Leave reviews.
