This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
Both extra considerate and extra funny to first ship them a ream of paper, and then as soon as you know it’s been delivered, *then* start printing your comic

HI HELLO HI FRIEND I JUST NOTICED THAT I’M A DOG AND YOU’RE A DOG AND I WAS WONDERING DO YOU WANT TO BE DOGS TOGETHER
historically the stance punk has taken against bigotry is "on one foot because the other one is kicking"
“viewpoint diversity” is a right-wing political project, as lisa siraganian explores in great detail here: www.aaup.org/academe/issu...

Anyway, fully aware here that I am thinking way too much about a man shaving his head, I just really appreciate it. So many sponsor reads are clearly chores. I appreciate that Ian is looking at them as opportunities to make meaning. 5/5
This video's reflection on headshaving could very easily stand on its own as a rumination on aging and bravery, and the read about his desk and chair from the first Adventure Game Sommelier compilation is a perfectly integrated exploration of the relationship between writing and embodiment. 4/
In my creative writing class, I sometimes have students choose the weirdest thing they have with them in the classroom, and then ask them to write an essay about what that object means--not just what it is, but to figure out its value and salience to their life, and what that says about them. 3/
It seems to me that he's very careful only taking on sponsors whose products he actually uses in some meaningful way. But because he is an Essayist--like, the curse of essay lives deep in his marrow--every sponsorship becomes a personal essay on a random object that is a part of his life. 2/
I always love Ian's essays, but I want to give a brief shoutout to his sponsor reads. I'm generally glad when creators I like get sponsorships because I want their work to be sustainable. But Ian's sponsor reads are maybe the only ones that I would watch as standalone microessays. 1/
Was the secret using a whole burrito as bait
Jesus was also kind of weak on crime
It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for
Those smiles are just like EVERYONE THIS IS MY DAD, MY DAD WENT TO SPACE
Except the dog. The dog is like "why is the photographer waving a squeaky toy? Maybe she will throw it."
Oh my god dems NOT IMPEACHING IS ACTUAL APPROVAL OF TRUMP’S CONDUCT

There is of course a weird dating sim about that on Steam, and an amazing video by @kaiafterkai.bsky.social to make sense of it
my idea of economics was forever changed when this girl in ninth grade was like “your family’s rich” and i said “yeah right, my dad’s a journalist and my mom’s a teacher, do the math” and she said “my dad’s a magician”
So excited to hear Dan spitball anti-witchcraft strategies and Jordan shout himself onto the astral plane soon on @knowledgefight.bsky.social

Truly, the only negative consequence he takes seriously is the prospect of not being on television.

will never get over democrats treating impeachment as a thing you stop doing if it doesn’t work, and not the natural response to a criminal act
Lol I was about to say exactly this hahaha
Back in the long ago, my best man borrowed his sister-in-law’s apartment in Monterey for a weekend and my bachelor party was a two day Halo lan party with original XBoxes. Genuinely impossible to explain how cool that was today.
why saying that AI is incredible followed by a series of non-loading comments because the vibe-coded site is fucking broken
I don't think I could make a joke better than this
I need you to know that I’d been laughing at these tweets because I’m generally pretty comfortable with horror of all sorts but I tell you what when the squirrel showed up I had to pull my car over and turn my stereo off and just think about my choices.
And yours. You’re on the hook for this too.
