In 2016/2017 two young women were separately approached by men to perform a series of "prank videos" for YouTube. One was from Indonesia, the other Vietnam, and they were paid a small amount of money to run up to strangers, smear lotion on their faces, then apologize & run away.

Eric Adams is a cartoon villain. Like Wilson Fisk was a better, more moral mayor of New York...

“And when you see these mask wearing people, oftentimes it's not about being fearful of the pandemic. It's fearful of the police catching [them] for their deeds,” @NYCMayor says he’s going to talk to Mayors across the US to come up with a national plan to tackle retail theft.

Come on DC, if you can't pay Bryan Hitch some money, at least pay the man some respect!

Constantly seeing reports on the upcoming DCEU projects that refer to the "Warren Ellis created Authority" or "based on characters created by Warren Ellis." A-fucking-hem.

Compare our reaction to this asshole to how we responded to the 2016 election, for instance. The reaction is almost 1:1. These forms of protest don't hurt your enemies, they just empower them.

He got fired and that could have been the end of it. We need to be better winners, because the response I've seen is going to cause him to metastasize into the conservative thought leader he's been trying to be for at least a decade now that everyone knows his name.

The more memes we make, our the more we draw that guy's character into funny/mocking scenarios, the more we advertise his brand. Like smoking cigarettes when there's a little shadow on your lung X-ray. Individually delicious little moments that aren't worth it in the long run.

The more you mock that guy, the more conservatives will either delight in 'triggering the libs' or double down on the argument that the racist is the real victim and they will just throw support behind him. Right now, he could probably retire on one month of Patreon receipts.

If a person (say for instance, a bad cartoonist who has been haunting the funnies for 30 years) does something racist and loses a job over it, the more that Liberals react to this, the more they are guaranteeing the racist's financial success in his future racist endeavours.

Did Woody Harrelson just ramble through a semi-coherent antivaxxer rant as his SNL monolog...?

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal. It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability. It did not.

Just remember that when you point the finger at AI artists, there are twelve fingers pointing right back at you.

You can also follow for information on his novels, or to get caught up on his unexpectedly successful secondary career as a tiktok star, or you can find his podcast scattered throughout 70% of the aforementioned podcast networks.

So Republicans think it's fair to deny service to any and all gay people looking to buy a wedding cake, but that it's absolutely insane for AirBNB to not expect people to let famous nazis live in their homes for a few days?

I met Art Spiegelman in passing earlier today. I didn't want to take up much of his time, so I just shook his hand and said 'thanks for everything.' I think that pretty much covers it.

It's a #LunarNewYear Miracle! My mom actually called me on the phone, told me she heard I was on TV, and she was PROUD of me 🤯 For doing art! 🥰 Thanks to @RogerClark41 @grumpybert @_myplasticheart @ny1 for making the impossible happen #RedEnvelopeShow2023

This was so stupid that it would've crashed their entire platform over night. I have Netflix and because I use a wifi extender, the two TVs in my home appear to be on different networks. Would I have needed to physically carry a TV to another room and plug it in once a month?

Update: Netflix is now claiming they "errantly" posted this information (translation: they saw the feedback and pumped the brakes) thestreamable.com/news/netflix-c

It is January 31st and I just injured my drawing hand for the second time this year. The realization that the AI enemy will never be slowed by accidentally picking up a metal pan that was just exposed to a naked flame is rather disheartening.

Sound advice. PayPal has apparently been known to occasionally randomly delete large balances. It happened to at least one big name I'm aware of.

Everyone, particularly artists, be very careful using Paypal and DO NOT leave money in your Paypal account. twitter.com/CoreyBrickley/…

Nobody should buy anything Harry Potter related until such a time as J. K. Rowling ceases to profit directly from it, but if you're hell bent on playing this Hogwarts game, then at least wait a year or two until you can find it in the digital equivalent of a bargain bin.
