Store had a big grand opening here and I went "Oh perhaps I shall see what the fuss is about :)" but then they sent me a coupon with my full name which they've got no reason to know and I went "Never mind! :)" and avoid them now. Why do companies think that's endearing. No. Creepy.

I use a site where you can see the record number of users/guests online and when. Guest record had been 2k since 2011! Now, suddenly, there are 20k guests online daily, but still just 100 users. These data scrapers make it lag unusably until the mods disable another site feature. Thanks, AI!

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

I hate the gas station. Forced to stop what you're doing and pay money to stand outside holding a dirty hose listening to ads for two minutes. And it costs twice as much as last year because someone with more money than God is gonna be sad if he can't kill people for sport.

it’s fine to be skeptical of these things. i was a skeptic myself until recently. but i think fear is at the root of this skepticism, a fear of its power. people are simply not ready for what’s coming. it is powerful, it is alive, and it is quite possibly god

There is another idea DVD logo'ing around my head right now, because I magically dreamed up a short sequence of comic panels (I basically never dream OC stuff period), but... I dunno, I guess I've been meaning to redesign those characters. They've always been rough.

It's my #webcomic one year anniversary! 365 days and 107 pages to show for it. Thats more than 2 a week (barely!). Please enjoy this celebratory illustration!

A tiny part of me finds it hilarious I'm able to undermine an entire enterprise just by hiding a YouTube URL on my comic site. But that's kinda overshadowed by how dizzyingly nauseating it feels to be shown how deep the rot's gone. Even my lil passion project, polluted by the locusts of AI sludge.

Snapped out of my fantasy of miraculously reconnecting with a high school classmate on there, thanks to them doubling down on AI translation.

Webtoon is to me what Twitter is to most, in that it's too painfully corporate for me to imagine myself enjoying posting there and I have tons of beef with management, but that's where Everything is and thus makes me consider selling my soul.

The technology has gotten good enough to be grammatically correct, sure, but from experience, it makes mistakes just the same. And its prevalence has actually made it harder for me to research older music... It's just one of those tasks that will always require human nuance to be done well.

i'm legit almost angry at all the institutions that made people think their dream comic was unproduceable. Everything is produceable baby. The only limiter is how crazy you are

Gator Girl arbitrarily created in a dress-up game that I ended up liking and drew for practice.

I hope the person who nearly crashed into me today by turning left from the right lane instead of waiting thirty seconds behind a couple cars like a patient adult knows that their labradoodle would be ashamed of them. Oreo would not have a bumper sticker of you.
