I was next to (one of) the AI slop booths at DragonCon and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. So, as you may or may not know, there was a booth selling AI slop images printed on acrylic panels at DragonCon. They were in booth a-10. I was in a-11. Here’s what happened from my perspective.

I really hate it when I have a bad feeling rattling around in my head that I know better than to post about. It'll go away eventually.

Comics creators: if this third party contacts you, do NOT reply. You do not need to—and should not—provide any of this information (especially invoices to other publishers)! All of this is very shady. It is on the employer to prove that employees are not full time, not on the contract/WFH laborer

P.s. every gun law in this country has loopholes that are absurdly easy to get around because exactly zero of the lawmakers in this country understand how guns actually work.

Every one of these adults is nostalgic for a time when kids drank out of the hose and stayed out til dark and constantly complains about "woke".

It's tough being around people who are responsible gun owners in the face of the fact that the vast majority are very much not responsible enough to own a car, let alone an even deadlier weapon. 💀
G! (@gpike.bsky.social) reply parent
I think we need to teach adults not to act like, for lack of a less ableist term, fucking psychos.
G! (@gpike.bsky.social) reply parent
Like, you're not going to solve the gun problem unless you also solve the problem of average American thinking they need guns to protect themselves from other people with guns. And that's the much more difficult task.
G! (@gpike.bsky.social)
Idk man, sensible gun control is a great idea, of course, but I also think we need to give some serious consideration to "teaching people how to behave like a normal person in a society" so they don't think pulling out a weapon is an acceptable response to every little goddamn thing? Both things.

The last passenger pigeon died 111 years ago today and not a day goes by that I don't think about how their flocks numbered in the *billions*, that their roosts covered 100+ square miles, that they collapsed trees with their nests. America is incomplete without them

Aside from the obvious ones like living wage and maternity leave and stuff, I think cashiers at stores should be allowed to sit down if they want/need to, and the boss shouldn't be allowed to make you clean areas that aren't your own work area if that's not what you were hired to do. 😒
Ian (@laughingcricket.bsky.social) reposted
4 day work week, maternity leave for both parents, living wage... It's a big list but also, for us disabled folks, not being fired for calling out sick more than three times in a month...
