This uncle is adorable

Informing my parents which christmas cards are AI and which are not like I'm an art expert on Antiques Roadshow

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

still my favorite christmas post

I want to post pics of my holiday cookies but bsky won't let me share them, another attack in the war on Christmas 😔😔😔

“Write to the market.” You’ll never catch the market. By the time you’ve written it, the market is gone. Write what you’re on fire to write, and sometimes the market shows up.

I follow too many journalists, I keep seeing Weiss and doing a double take

shutting the fuck up may be free, but it isn’t easy so make sure you PRACTICE

Just once, I'd like to see Dick Durbin *try* to explain the actual mechanisms by which repealing 230 will protect children from being exploited and abused. There will be hand waving about how it will "open them up to litigation" but that's not an answer.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

Shameful.

This is why ID verification laws are bad. No website can truly have the security it needs to keep ANY information safe. Not a single one.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

I've started to more and more unapologetically tell people to call their reps because again: if you have the time to write a comment complaining, you have the time to call your reps and leave a comment on their lines. And I'm being 100% serious; it really is THAT quick. Do it.

I am an old man, @mozilla.org, and I was happy to sit in my rocking chair and use Firefox until sunset. But if you insist on choking this browser with GenAI bloat, I will face God and walk backwards into Linux.

As more and more creators are expected to be on camera to promote their comics, can we talk for a second about how this opens up female creators to intense harassment about their looks? Not to mention a lot of "You only have a career in comics because you're good looking" comments?

I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

NAIL SALON EMPLOYEE: The usual? ME: yup

“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

By the by, both Oregon senators almost never have a real person pick up are mostly a message box so if you're got phone anxiety they are REALLY EASY to call. PLEASE CALL THEM. Ask them to protect Section 230 and oppose Kosa. ESPECIALLY SUZANNE who keeps giving me a canned email response about it.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨 CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO to age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act) badinternetbills.com

manifesting: 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 ai bubble 🕯 🕯 to pop disastrously 🕯 🕯 for all involved 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! www.badinternetbills.com

#savespeech #stopKOSA A few post-notes: - Don't panic. Don't doom. Breath and focus. Panic will do us little good in action. If you can't stop spiraling, step back and rest. - They will try to push this before chistmas. They MIGHT pass a majority to the full committee. Don't dwell on it. Fight it.

#savespeech #stopKOSA ATTENTION! The House of Energy and Commerce has pushed a package of(now 18) "child safety" bills to a subcommittee markup. This means the bills will be likely voted on to go to a FULL committee markup, which sends it out to the House. Call the Committee. Tell them to vote NO

urgency is good. the stakes ARE high and we need to capitalize on every stop gap where our voices have the most impact to potentially stop these bills but be careful about OVER-hyping these points as well and scaring people. tomorrow is not the end, we have to keep the energy up.

I've seen a handful of posts going around saying tomorrow's E&C committee Markup on bills like KOSA etc are going to "vote on and pass" the bills there will be no vote to "pass" KOSA. they are going to debate the bill, make amendments, and vote if they want to push it to the full House Committee

i really recommend using this website to maximize your calls re: tomorrow's markdown meeting in the House energy and commerce committee. it connects you to various relevant legislators and gives you a script as well!

"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—" Reviews. Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.) Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

I played Horses this weekend and I wrote down some messy thoughts not only on the game but especially on the specter of formalism that emerged to haunt us all for a moment. transgamerthoughts.com/post/8023277...

WASHINGTON AND OREGON CARTOONISTS: Seattle's bus service is commissioning 6 artists for public art pieces, 2 each, of local stories, 16-32 pages, over 2026, for $54k per artist, to be freely distributed over their ridership. details here: www.4culture.org/grants/movin...

This headline got me all exited that Elizabeth Warren was going to fight The Batman.

crazy all the websites and paypros are doing their big No Horny Allowed crackdown while every online advertisement now is iether "AI SEX HOT AI CHAT NO FILTER BOOB AI FURRY GIRLFRIEND only for adults ages 6+" or "NPR is now teaming up with Bumfights dot com to revolutionize gamified asset trading"

tis the season

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Shopping small is meaningful!

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
