In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

I'm really excited to be joining @paperjamcc.bsky.social at this event on Sunday 19th October (and I LOVE being referred to as 'jovial', although, let's be honest, there's not many 'J' words!!). Come along! Buy comics! (Or my books...) paperjamcomics.blogspot.com/2025/09/smal...

Guess it's time to get back to my life's work documenting #milknoir Now that I've nuked the twitter evidence I'm starting over here.Gonna take me a bit to catch up, but please send me screenshot evidence of adults drinking or intending to drink milk in thriller flicks letterboxd.com/jedidiahayre...

Newsletter: This is The Case Against Generative AI, a comprehensive analysis of a financial collapse built on myths I’ll dispel, the markets’ unhealthy obsession with NVIDIA's growth, and the fact that there is not enough money in the world to fund OpenAI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

"Legislated nostalgia: to force a body of people to have memories they do not actually possess." - Douglas Coupland, Generation X.

Just checked against interest rates: I ain't had a pay rise in 25 years and I still earn exactly the same multiple of minimum wage as I did in 2000.

This may be a contraction, but I'm looking for accessible fonts that read well at smallish sizes, have a handwritten, typewriter, generally non-digital vibe and can be used in different weights.

Pretty good overview of what the problem of programming actually is and what you have programmers for: youtu.be/1A6uPztchXk

Working on a comic for Paperjam, it might be called "interview with this fucking prick of a vampire honestly what is wrong with them?"

It is good to have a questioning mind. For example, my son, between midnight and five am: What if the sky was made of onions? What if we all had a controller? What if it rained tacos? Is the dishwasher clean? What if everything was inside your brain? Are you going to empty it dad?

This looks uncomfortable

Steve Yeowell and Grant Morrison at the height of their powers (or one of their heights at least)

You can stop pretending, your QA team is three gremlins in a trenchcoat. Everybody knows it.

I like this -- they fed AITA posts where the humans voted "asshole" to LLMs and found that the bots would almost always tell you that you're not an asshole. ^^; No wonder they're so popular! www.businessinsider.com/reddit-aita-...

My son has declared that Pizza is never less than ten out of ten.

1st one had us talking like it was comic con Woodstock. without all the bad stuff… It was amazing! go sign up to the mailing list

Near Whitley Bay today? Come and see us at the Fiesta, in the churchyard. Lots of other stalls and performances to see too!

What genre are these: Auf Wiedersehen Pet The Beiderbeck Affair If this is a category, what else fits in this category?

As a result of AI and its stupid superficial veneer and polish, I'm going back to basics and making zines. Single A4 mini foldy zines. No more expensive paper choices. No more worrying about CMYK. Let it go. Let it go. The bleed never bothered me anyway.

companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box

The charoty shops in North Shields had much, much better range of films to watch than any streaming service, for 25 pence each.

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

Same tbh.

The latest shite (whatever it is) hasn't made me boycot Disney. I've been boycotting them for years and years.

Added some originals to my shop. Ink on A2 cotton rag paper. jonathanestore.bigcartel.com

Tricky IQ test 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Not many people get the right answer.

In retrospect, to be fair on clippy, he wasn't aiding the fash in data theft on a colossal scale, and had a relatively negligible body count.

I hope this email finds you trying to make the best choices you can with the information available and learning to be at peace with that

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

You know what? Fuck it, I’ve made this one public www.patreon.com/posts/139002...

"I've got a lot of problems and I'm very angry, but not about my problems!"

Everyone's thinks they have a cognitive advantage until you punch them in their Zuckerberg glasses.

Any ideas on this one?

Now with colour 🥰

Lots of things id not thought of here.

Is there a gender neutral form of Stag/Hen do? Asking for a friend, um, fictional pirate.

Premium Newsletter: Oracle and OpenAI are full of crap. OpenAI, while claiming it'll make more revenue than NVIDIA by 2030 - needs $250bn in funding to pay its $300bn compute contract with Oracle...who cannot physically build the data centers to service it in time. www.wheresyoured.at/oracle-openai/

Any #blender #python scripters can help me out? Basically looking to add some procedural scene generators, and I'm looking for tips on how to organise my code.

The image that inspired my most popular comic.

Does this count no worries if not youtu.be/cgaHi7IziHI?...

There's a small genre of song that's like "song created for a movie that is supposed to be a hit song within the fictional world of the movie." Have any been actual good-enough-to-be-hits besides "Golden" and "I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow?"

Rather, it would be refreshing if you’d just start from the assumption that by far the most likely outcome is for the tech to be used for massive enrichment and centralisation of power into an even smaller elite than before, with even more terrifying mechanisms of control at their disposal (4/6)

"If your supply chain uses AI coding, you should assume it’s dangerous trash put out by morons. If any of your upstream dependencies has a .cursor folder, you need to assume they’re not competent, and remove that dependency pronto."

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)
