I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going β€œwow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

Frankly I hope it's a prequel, and we can see what lead to the tragedy of Rumi's parents death, since a LOT of the concept art says Celine killed Rumi's mom !

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Seeing a lot of people sharing the Trans Continental Pipeline, which is good for those Kansans who can and wish to exit the state, but for those who cannot, there are other organizations you can support! Please share these as well! πŸ‘‡

A loon dives with two chicks on their back, each chick labeled Queer and Disabled. The loon's beak pieces into the chest of a shocked bald eagle, which wears a black cap with the label ICE on it, and in the bloody talons of the eagle is a baby loon chick, labeled immigrant.

Poster I made in response to what has been happening in my city of Minneapolis. Ice has no place here, and we have to support each other and work together in order to make this a better place!

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

MCAD had their art sale these past few days, and surprisingly the one thing that sold was this piece. Who would have guessed my ominous drawing with my big ol signature was what people wanted LOL

Paradox of automation
edit
The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]

Keep this in mind as we start seeing more and more large scale outages from AWS, Cloudflare, Github, etc. These are the companies hoping to increasingly automate their systems with AI

Two panels from β€œBanned Book Club”

An up close of the protagonists face as she confronts a classmate, saying: β€œFunny how if you were reading his dystopian sci-fi novel with a minor subplot about fascists ruling Korea, you’d be TAKEN TO JAIL.”

The text bubble spills over into the second panel, where the classmate looks as though she’s seen a ghost, her face in shadow and a bead of sweat dripping down her cheek.

The speech bubble crams into her: β€œSo you gotta wonder. Do they ban books because they see DANGER in their AUTHORS, or because they see THEMSELVES in their VILLAINS?”

Got chills reading these panels in BANNED BOOK CLUB by Kim Hyun Sook, Ko Hyung-Ju, and Ryan Estrada.

This book should be required reading. #comicrec

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.
