Shane McGowan died in mortal combat with Henry Kissinger this morning. Having given battle against the vile shade for seven days and seven nights, such was the fury of his final blow that it rent his beating heart in two with its delivery. We will sing of his tragic victory for a thousand years

YOU THERE, BOY! WHAT DAY IS IT??

Before you say something mean about Henry Kissinger, take a breath and see if you can think of something meaner

what's that thing called in other countries where they have full time workers to backfill roles when folks get sick/go on vacation? it's not a temp, they are trained on various positions and can just step in. anyways, this country is stupid and needs them and i know it will not happen. grrr.

I made a long, long comic about AI and my toddler. It's a repudiation of techno-solipsism and it’s in The New Yorker. Is my toddler a stochastic parrot?

@beaucoupkevin.com thanks for the assist dude 🖖

"Ladies and Gentleman, I am telling you the truth. Just two collagen peptide supplements a day have done what no one thought possible: they have made my luxurious mane of hair even more resplendent. I task you to visit VitalProteins.com and use code KHAN for 18% off your order, plus....a free gift!"

Just a reminder :) Jpeg loses fidelity and is correct for online publication only Tiff does not lose fidelity but reads poorly on web browsers so it is correct for print only RGB is for online, CMYK is for print Highly saturated and luminous greens/cyan do not print.

TURTLE THOUGHTS…
