When he's finally out of office, we need to do a final count of the number of things Trump said or did that would each, individually, have permanently ended any other politician's career. It's going to be a long list. I think he averages at least one per day.

Penny Arcade for November 18th 1998, 27 years ago today, was our very first comic strip. Thank you guys for almost 30 years of supporting the stuff we make. You have given me the best job in the world. www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1998/1...

Repost this and let people guess which one you are

"Private Equity" is a four letter word.

We're at the next stag of the authors' lawsuit against Anthropic. Check the link below to see which of your books they raided and then click through to file a claim. Four of mine were in there.

Remember that Intuit (the owner of Turbotax) lobbied extensively to kill Direct File, which did tax filing for free and somehow managed to make a good and intuitive user experience without AI.

The real undercurrent of all the recent major outages, Cloudflare just being the newest example, is that monopolies are bad. In principle, centralized systems are a thing that makes a lot of sense in technology design. But in practice, it's important to not give the internet an off switch.

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

I appreciate the efficiency afforded by being able to boycott two fuckass companies at once. Also everyone who approved calling something a FROZEN Hot Chocolate should be thrown into a pit full of rubber chickens.

This one image is a better asset placeholder than everything generative AI will ever produce.

One of the outcomes of this whole ordeal needs to be codifying stronger and clearer methods for both citizens and government officials hold an elected person accountable. Of the people, by the people, for the people -- elected positions are made to work for us, we must be able to enforce that.

all I need to know about AI is it ruined animal videos for the entire internet

It literally did fall in January, that's just empirical record. An impeached, convicted insurrectionist, constitutionally disqualified from being on the ballot, was nevertheless elected president in November 2024. Ratifying the election was illegal. Swearing him in was illegal. He is illegitimate.

too real lol

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

I'm far more interested in soft times and hard men

When Taako says "...who?" in TAZ Balance.

Ignore all other plans and obligations. Become cat pillow.

I know this is old man yells at cloud but there is something in the constitution about this

the scramble for GOP hopefuls to distance themselves from Trump as the ship goes down is going to be crazy and the most important thing to do is sink all the lifeboats none of them are allowed to escape his legacy

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

Reclaim your ability to breathe for yourself again, not because it is useful or productive - but because it is for you.

Profit is an accounting error. Revenue goes to paying costs, compensating labor, or investing in improvements for the business. If you have money left over after that, you did the math wrong.

Ice cold take: if generative AI helps you do your job, then you are unqualified for your job.

when will it be my turn to have lunch with 4 trans women

she’s a 10 but Excel thinks she’s October

there are way too many people that need to go in order to move forward at all

THE BUBBLE NEEDS TO BURST NOW

Ice cold take: if generative AI helps you do your job, then you are unqualified for your job.

Meta is using your Whatsapp messages and Facebook & Instagram DMs to train its generative AI. If you want to object, you can do so here www.facebook.com/privacy/genai

If someone I respect is on the list, then I will rescind my respect. Easily done when someone is monstrous. Sure, I might have a moment of sadness or disappointment, especially if something good they did was meaningful to me. But trust and loyalty are earned and can be lost. So they'll lose it.

Somewhere out there someone who’s the best at what they do is terrified that they have imposter syndrome while a bunch of barely literate pedophiles are very calmly running the world

Today is the 9th anniversary of the day Maggie stole an entire pecan pie and got drunk from all the sugar. Happy Purloined Pecan Pie Day from our family to yours!

I realize there’s a lot of news happening right now, but it’s still wild to me that Meta is making billions of dollars on scam ads and ads for banned goods and no one is holding them accountable

This is good news. It's exhausting that it took an illegitimate election and 10 months of an unconstitutional coup for people to start doing *almost* the bare minimum to stop Trump's regime, but better for it to start now than not at all.

One of the oldest tricks in the GOP playbook: 1) identify a real issue (housing is too expensive) 2) deliberately attribute the cause to a complete lie (immigrants are causing housing to be expensive) 3) to deflect from the real cause (the rich) 4) use it to do bigotry and keep poor people down

Hey cool so "bike lane" is actually a term that has meaning, and its meaning makes them mutually exclusive with hasten-the-end-times-bot over here.

Torn between wanting cool Doc Marten boots and knowing I will 100% have a bad time because I have plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and chronic pain in my feet. 😮‍💨 Does anyone have cool boot recs for the chronic pain havers? I've worn Dr Scholl's boots for years but they somehow never have my size now.

I love this woman. She's so good at giving Hannity the exact level of seriousness he deserves.

Happy 10th, you magnificent freakshow. #TheFinalPam

Remember when it felt like the shit Nixon did at Watergate was a big deal? That's a quiet Tuesday in the Trump White House.

I've had a brilliant idea. I'm going to get into Congress and introduce a bill to forgive student loan debt. It will be called the Zeroing Education Loan Debt Accrued Act, aka the ZELDA Act. The tagline will be: "it's dangerous to go a loan, take this."

If you "simply must watch" a new Harry Potter show, the solution is to fix your heart. There is not and will never be an entertainment product so compelling and important that it's worth propping up violence against trans people. Even if you do it in a way that doesn't give money to the cause.
