it's never too late to pour one out for a real one
I'm very very sad tonight. I just learned that Stephen Biesty passed away in 2024 at 63... He is one of my favorite artist. Rest in peace.

many disturbing elements of this AIslop Etsy blanket, not least of which being that none of the characters are engaged with each other but instead are fixated on small objects everything on the shelves behind them came straight out of the Backrooms

obviously many more important takeaways from the French approach to protest, but much respect to the absolute varsity level Whimsy of throwing a whole ass piano at the cops

It was brought to my attention that this video is from 2018. I was able to find image from an alternate angle, revealing that this was not a piano at all, but some kind of desk. Alas! Respect and solidarity to anyone out there resisting state violence, piano notwithstanding.

I am neither a smoker nor do I have use for a calculator, and yet...I need this??
vintage novelty calculator from the 1990s designed to look exactly like a pack of mild seven lights cigarettes

leftist men think everything is systemic except misogyny
Replying to @Hezbolsonaro
Like man I am genuinely very sorry if your experience is different but post-middle school locker rooms I have never spent much time around vocally misogynist crowds. Yeah of course they exist but you don't have to join those circles!

"AI is a tool" buddy you don't need AI to egregiously mislabel a map, i promise you can do that all by yourself
The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

aside from the obvious, I would argue that Pierre also does not belong on this list

They’ve introduced the acronym SHAPE (Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts for People and the Economy) due to the success of STEM and it doesn’t really work because “women in SHAPE” sounds like a comment on our bodies.

New level of Catholic guilt unlocked: the pope wants to know why you haven’t finished that draft yet.
Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

I choose to believe this, and following this logic, that every comic I publish is an act of defiance against God
Printers never work because they are an affront to God. Man was not meant to pull objects from the digital realm into the real world. Icarus is flying too close to the sun.

Really feeling this one 💔
RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.
