From the Pogo Extra Election Special by Walt Kelly

Finally, a bit of good news amidst all the doomscrolling!

More reliable, too.

We are tragically living through an age of AI-enabled gullibility.

Can't help but wonder if the Liberals will announce a sixth floor-crosser - bringing them to a majority - during the convention itself.

Mark Evanier has had a large amount of original comics art stolen from his home; there's a list at this link. If you're involved in buying or selling art, please circulate it. www.newsfromme.com/2026/04/07/m...

Good stuff coming out via Lulu.

Depluralise a movie: One Dalmation

Happy Easter!

This, by @marcellodicintio.bsky.social, is so good. I mean, it's *bad*, but his work here is so good. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

Final days for the Renato Fratini artbook kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/ink...

Same company, different worlds.

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

Strong Busby Berkeley energy going on here.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Good. www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/...

Once again, these scam operations using “myatproto” (& “Amal” or some variation) are pretending to be located in Gaza, but somehow manage to evade Bsky new account label, generate 1.7K posts in one day from a day old account, use invisible tagging. These operations are scams.

I appreciate how a library catalogue search for Godzilla on DVD turns up a title called The Art of Negotiating the Best Deal. "Nice little town you got here. Be a shame if someone were to, y'know, step on it."

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

Staged collisions up 400%. You need to read this - this stuff is scary, and increasing. Go find a dashcam...and stop letting anyone wave you into traffic. Ever. driving.ca/column/lorra...

I hope no one needs an MRI this year. The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half. No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).

worth reading the whole thing, because there’s a lot that’s interesting, but kudos to Patel for asking several very good versions of “why are you doing this” and “where’s my fucking money”

And here I thought the Geneva Convention had outlawed torture.

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.

Diplomacy AND cake!!! bsky.app/profile/trix...

I wrote a thing on the backlash to #StarfleetAcademy - and on whether #StarTrek is still, well, Star Trek. open.substack.com/pub/latestar...

I may just switch from counting in base 10 to base 18. It'll be nice to be in my thirties again.

Absolutely.

Let’s gush over Alex Niño’s work

No, I don't think I will.

I'm only about 20+ years late to this particular party, but I just discovered that Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas recorded a dvd/bluray commentary track for Disney's Brother Bear film in character as Bob & Doug McKenzie playing moose Rutt and Tuke. More gems like this, please. #CanCon #SCTV

Mid-Century Modern by @billybragg.bsky.social. Such a good song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yijR... "The credulous are on crusade against reality/Freedom's just another word for acting with impunity"

Finally available in English! Epicenter Comics is publishing a boxed set of four books drawn by Enrique Breccia! Written by Ricardo Barreiro, Carlos Trillo, and Cristóbal Aguilar Jiménez. I backed this the moment I saw it. www.kickstarter.com/projects/epi...

A good reminder to school librarians that if you can change your policies, add roadblocks to the challenge process, such as limiting the number of challenges that can be filed in a certain amount of time and by whom.

"After weeks of frustrating research, I found one brace that got me back to not just playing games again but also mending my own clothes and cooking, too." -- @nicoleclark.bsky.social is back on the site today to wax poetic about the thumb brace that let her play Silksong buff.ly/JhYnxZU

It's time to get things started... 🎶

Looking forward to this Renato Fratini art book arriving on my doorstep in June. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ink...

I feel seen.

I wrote about Kat.

Happy Ides of March, everyone!

Go home, @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social, you've had enough.
