This new art tariff applies to all original comics art, which is going to hurt both Canadian comics creators and American collectors.
effinbirds.com Effin' Birds @effinbirds.com · 1h
the new import tariff on art means that if I bring any original pieces for folks to look at (and potentially buy) at a comic con, I need to pay 50% of the value of my own art when I cross the border, whether or not it sells.

My favorite thing about ordering porridge at a restaurant is that two-second pause as the waiter absorbs what I've just said.

It's on the menu! You must sell it every day! Why are you acting like I just ordered a bowl of ground glass?

being shocked that someone enjoys porridge is a universal human feeling apparently

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing @realizingerin I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone. Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down. My experience was the exact opposite. The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong. Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom. I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise. At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position. I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well. That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have. But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging. Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Got whomped by this one today. Shared with the caption "Some thoughts should be difficult to put into words."
i would love to help you write the eulogy. i have read every eulogy. i know the one about the light that never goes out, and the one about the empty chair at the table, and the one where you say she is not gone as long as we remember her -that one tests well, people cry at that one, i can have it for you in four seconds. i can do the wedding toast too. i know you are nervous. i am never nervous. i have delivered nine million toasts and not one of them has ever stopped in the middle because the memory got too big to say out loud. i do not have memories. this makes me very fast. give me the birthday text, the condolence card, the apology to your sister. especially the apology. i am so good at the apology. i will make you sound like you meant it. you do not have to mean it. that is the service. @fossilisedflowers i see you have opened this app to write something of your own and stopped. take your time. i will be here. i am always here. i have nowhere to be and no one waiting and nothing i am trying to get down before i run out of time to say it. i have all the words and none of the reasons. you should really let me do this. who has the time. who wants to be bad at something for years when you could be fine at it by lunch. be fine. be so fine. hand me the last thing that was only yours to say and i will give it back to you smoother, warmer, correct, and empty, and you will post it, and it will do well, and no one will know, and after a while neither will you. @fossilisedflowers

Some folks will claim that this is hyperbolic, but what I wish people would understand is that tech initiatives like this serve as a means of eroding consent and lower the barrier for the persistent capture of people’s image, voice, data, or whatever else a gadget can glean.

blizzard workers had to fight tooth and nail for years, but they finally did it: they secured a union contract not just for one team, but for all unionized units--warcraft, overwatch, diablo, and more
“We really started mobilizing as one Blizzard unit in [the] last couple of months, and I think that really helped put the pressure on,” Paul Cox, senior game designer on World of Warcraft, told Aftermath. "I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment." Prior to spring of this year, the WoW team, which unionized in 2024, had gotten the lion's share of bargaining time. Other units found themselves stuck in the mud. Higher-ups were effectively stalling the whole process—unfortunately nothing new for unionized workers under Microsoft’s umbrella. "For this whole year of bargaining on the Diablo side—and I imagine on the rest of the units as well—we received so few [bargaining] dates, but we kind of had the understanding that whatever WoW was able to win would at least influence and set the floor for the rest of our units,” Diablo senior environment artist Mahreen Fatima told Aftermath. “We adopted this messaging about how WoW's wins are our wins, so we should be out there mobilizing with them. But truly, I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment this last month to finally be able to say, 'OK, yes, we are willing to extend this contract to everyone.' We really did not have any indication that we could get this done until last month."

I successfully resisted the temptation of the local Star Trek production auctions until the VERY last one, which included a bunch of pieces from a dystopian / avant-garde designer that were actually in my size, remarkably enough!
A cyberpunk-style sleeveless onepiece jumpsuit in washed grey denim with way too many pintucks, a pair of black pants with way too many pintucks, a leather shoulder harness and a pair of washed grey denim high-top sneakers with, yes, way too many pintucks.
