Blind Alley Guest Strip No. 10 ( @yasmeenabedi.bsky.social )

I'm begging for one article--just one--that is "Trump says Iran war is worth the economic pain. These urban voters in Harlem say `We told you he'd screw everything up, why didn't you listen to us?'" Just one. Just one "diner" interview in a place w a density above 1 per 1000 sq mi and < 95% white.

For the record, this proposal specifically targets gender identity. You have until May 22nd to submit a comment

Even when it's an entire stadium booing them, the AI hucksters cannot wrap their heads around the fact that no one wants the shit they're selling.

“I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Every time I see a video on Instagram that's like, 'Hollywood is cooked,' what follows is, like, the most stupid dog shit I've ever seen in my life…”

I'm thousands of miles away from him but look at our dog!!!!

Okay, I’ll confess to being anxious about it, I don’t do a lot of interviews, but apart from disliking the sound of my own voice I think this was good. Listen if you don’t care about Testament spoilers and want to hear about process, inspiration, etc.

Cover reveal for my next picture book,“Young Cat, Old Cat, out in Sept. Created with painted fabric and embroidery wool, this one was a real labour of love 🧵🪡 US pre-order link here: bit.ly/YoungCatOldCatBook

We're heading to Portland for the Independent Book Publishers Association Book Awards, as Testament by @jmarshallsmith.bsky.social is a finalist for the Science Fiction & Fantasy award category! www.ibpabookaward.org/winners-scie...

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Slices of Life is so beautiful. It really pushes the boundaries of comics and was one of my favorite reading experiences of last year

I can’t believe we’re Eisner Award noms! This Place Kills Me for best publication for Teens and @marikotamaki for best writer!

You know I've grown bc I managed to only tell like 4 people about this including Qu.

I miss this iTunes

existentially distressing (in a cyberpunk way) to see llms generate & regurgitate real human expressions of pain because "bad working conditions" and "collective bargaining" are linked on some fucking token

Subnautica 2 launched 20 minutes ago. Safe to say Krafton will be forced to pay out the $250 million bonus it tried very hard (via advice of ChatGPT) to avoid paying

Here’s a cleaner Wildwood promo pic, without all the text on it. It really gives you a sense of what the Landscapes department did. We hand made every asset you see here.

I had a realisation Context: In our Reclaiming AI paper we argued that AI systems cannot scale up to human-level cognition without consuming astronomical amounts of resources My realisation: The AI industry is determined to burn through the earth’s resources just to prove us right *empirically*

Witch Hat Atelier and Dorohedoro are a wild double-headers but I'm grateful for some excellent anime this season.
