Vietnam . Part 08 Oh hey. We're finally in the place this whole comic is about. We made it guys!

It was too hard to get the the animation building.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

So wholesome! Pros give an aspiring artist tips on how to draw Frieren:

So apparently you CAN get people to save money. You just have to make the money cute. Mexico made the mistake (debatable) of putting an axolotl on their 50 peso bill. Now its estimated something like 12.5 million in pesos are out of circulation, because people are refusing to part with the bill.

Intruder 👁️👁️

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

I need to nap or I need to die. I'm not sure which will happen first, but I will welcome either with open arms.

Every single underpaid retail employee works harder for their paycheck then our elected officials.

Morning naps

1. I love that someone came up with and then followed through with this. 2. I wonder if the specific superhero matters? Batman feels like a loaded choice. 3. I wonder if you'd get similar results from any non-superhero uniforms.

Next week! ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #14! closing the 2-part mini story. Also Absolute Zatanna makes her appearance 😎 W - Kelly Thompson, C - Jordie Bellaire, L - Becca Carey.

It's Trans Day of Remembrance, lab rats. I wish society did more to celebrate us while we were alive, instead of just remembering our deaths.

Listen. Hippos are designed for violence.

An awesome 🧵, especially w/ current fuckery. Also recommending 4 cookbooks: * YOU GOTTA EAT by Margaret Eby * THE SAD BASTARD COOKBOOK by Zilla Novikov and Rachel A Rosen * THE POORCRAFT COOKBOOK by Iron Circus Comics * GOOD AND CHEAP by Leanne Brown Nab from library or get online PDFs if you can.

Do you remember the first time something you heard was proven false? Why the hell did they shill that lie anyway? When's the last time you can remember having to correct somebody ELSE on that?🤔💭 When was the last time you realized you were being manipulated? Tell us! 🗣🎙 ironcircus.com/lie-machine/

Y'all have any good soft sugar cookie recipes?

Please don't fall for the lie that AI is 'going to lead to a three day work week.' Sadly, MOST 'innovation' applied to labor results in WORSE CONDITIONS. Cellphones made us available when we were not in the office. Emails destroyed the boundary of business hours. It always asks us for more.

oh yeah the new york city subway is so fucking scary, you never know what kind of weirdo you'll have to share a train with

hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting

My favorite line regarding crime comes from THE RED GREEN SHOW: '--there's no such thing as a criminal mastermind, okay? The prison population is not a brain trust. If you ever skimmed through the mugshots down at the police station, you know you're not looking at the MIT graduating class.'

This is...sort of brilliant.

For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it). "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

Here is my prediction. In the coming years, we're all gonna start doing bibliographies FOR REAL. Worst part of the essay for me. I hated. But going forward? Yeah, I'm gonna need at least three different sources before I repeat the shit you just said.

This is such delightful character acting. ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)

As a person who listens to non-fiction youtube while I work all the fucking time, it is SO HARD NOW to get videos that are actually done by real people, doing actual research, and either using their real voice, or at least speaking through a voice changer. IT'S ALL REGURGITATED AI NONSENSE.

So BOOM is collecting all of the JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS run (including my contributions) in a nice four volume set. And it reminded me that I've been meaning to draw Jem again for a minute.

Vietnam . Part 07 Hi ... 100% though. I miss malls. I miss those nice climate controlled mega structures where I could just meander between shops with a cinnabon and a smoothie. While I was at ROMICS in Italy they had me go to a mall for a signing and I nearly wept. It was so nice.

What are your top 5 movie genres? Mine are: -Solve complex magical problems with practicality -Fight choreography matches the music beats exactly -Labyrinth -Burn it all down. It won't solve my problems, but fuck it. -Great evils are not vanquished by great acts, but small acts done consistently.

Lol yeah man all that panic over "a Big Mac will cost $15!" if we raise the minimum wage. Well we didn't raise the minimum wage but a Big Mac is $15 now.

Tesla employees passed around photos of the insides of customers' garages, footage of what they were doing inside/near their cars. The cars were OFF at the time, a nude Tesla driver walking past their car in the privacy of their own garage became a Tesla office meme Stop embracing surveillance tech

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

Not to get all Sun Tzu on it, but when the enemy is weak and divided amongst itself, you do not relieve the enemy by allowing their partisans into your camp. You drive them closer together, force them into tighter company, and intensify their conflict.

cool
