2 panel comic

Panel 1 is titled β€œClient Feedback (2012)
Red Guy sits at his desk typing on his laptop. There is a bubble on the right hand side of the panel showing his screen.
A small text panel says β€œand the”. There is an arrow pointing to the bottom of the words with a correction box that reads: β€œText is slightly misaligned. Please fix”

Panel 2 is titled β€œClient feedback (2026)
Red Guy is slouched on chair typing into his phone. His phone screen shows a panel of text that is complete gibberish. This time the correction reads β€œnot alphabet but who give a fuck”

This is why I am overwhelmed with gratitude and pride that my colleagues just voted to promote me to full Professor here at Tulane Law School. *This* first-gen Central American kid who went through so much.

Now there's going to be one more full Latina prof. Excited to keep getting to work! 2/2

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

What I gather from this ancient Babylonian dialogue (and others) is that we have grappled with injustice for millennia. We've talked about it with our friends, and we've felt understandably depressed. How can we not?

But we will keep fighting, and the smoke will clear one day...

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are β€˜just circling back’ to see if we can β€˜move the needle’ on β€˜key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.

Imagine being Marco Rubio and wearing those shoes while you order the US military to kill people. Just the most degenerate fetish shit you can imagine. J Edgar Hoover was vanilla compared to these fucking freaks

I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.

To take this seriously a sec: when your political-economic system allows massive inequality to explode, it creates a class of people who have no material problems but do have the resources & power to make their trivial irritations the central business of politicsβ€”at immense material cost to others.

being a carless american is awesome. financial harm caused by rising oil prices won't directly effect me, and secondary effects aren't something we are trained to think about. when the time comes i'll just blame the rising prices i do experience on supernatural causes. maybe goblins

Man, I hate when when you’re sitting there, in a chat, and slurs just walk on in all by themselves like somebody turned on a faucet

But that's not how people who are unfamiliar with critique think. They see high detail and think high fidelity. Then they think, "what comes next after high fidelity? Oh, it's production."

"Therefore we must ship this vibe-coded prototype."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

As someone who has survived multiple jaw bone infections and needed several endodontic treatments for tooth infections, let me tell you that this man died in one of the most painful ways possible

They tortured him. An untreated tooth infection is torture.
