Postcards from Hell
A work trip in small town central Alberta to install ADSL infrastructure during the pandemic and a major heatwave. It was an incredibly isolating experience.

it's because the notion that child sexual abuse is some uniquely taboo universally reviled übercrime for which men can easily get their lives/careers ruined is a myth and always has been. it's always been tacitly permitted, winked at, ignored, excused, and downplayed across all sectors of society.

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!
Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

Funko is dying

Repost to make it die faster
everyfilmnow.bsky.social Every Film Now @everyfilmnow.bsky.social · 7d
Funko admits “substantial doubt” it can continue as a going concern amid crashing sales and mounting debt.

The Pop! maker warns of potential loan defaults without fresh funding or a buyout, after a 14% sales drop and $250M in obligations.

Wide angle color photograph of Northlands Coliseum. The building occupies the bottom two fifths of the frame and is a round brutalist concrete structure hockey arena. The main floor is full of entrance doors with brick walls between sets. The rest of the building is smooth concrete vertical rectangles with no windows.

Tomorrow's Premium: Based on analysis of years of reporting, OpenAI has burned $23 billion since 2023, ending 1H 2025 with $9.6bn cash. OpenAI appears to have $9bn+ more in burn than has previously been reported.

Here's $10 off annual.

OpenAI Burned An Estimated $19 Billion In Cash Between 2023 and 1H 2025 - Where Did It Go? OpenAI had $9.6 billion in cash at the end of June. So, Microsoft’s funding in 2023 was $2 billion in cash (and $8 billion in credits, but I’m not counting those), add in the $6.6 billion of cash from 2024 (i’m not including the line of credit, as that would be a “cash equivalent), $10 billion from SoftBank and other investors in June 2025, and we assume $2 billion in revenue in 2023, $3.7 billion in revenue in 2024, and $4.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2025 (for a total of $28.6 billion in cash), this means that OpenAI burned $19 billion in cash from the beginning of 2023 through the end of June 2025. Yet the reported losses are much, much smaller. For the sake of argument, I’m also going to leave OpenAI’s $4 billion line of credit out of the calculation. In 2024, OpenAI allegedly burned $5 billion. Through 1H 2025, it had a “net loss” of $13.5 billion but an “operating loss” of $6.7 billion, and the painfully-worded accounting leaked to The Information is done in such a way as to make it unclear how much of that is cash, with the hopes that you believe it’s not cash burn. $19 billion in burned cash doesn’t make sense based on any reported numbers. Even if we assume OpenAI burned $2 billion in cash in 2023, $5 billion in cash in 2024 and $6.7 billion in cash in 1H 2025, that’s $14.9 billion in missing burn to get us to the $28.6 billion total. I guess there could be prepayments as part of its deals with Broadcom or CoreWeave, but even then, The Information had another tidbit: OpenAI also recorded around $670 million of equity it gave to unnamed entities for providing the company with servers in the first half of 2025, compared to $1 billion in such equity compensation last year. While it’s not clear which cloud provider or providers received the equity, the decision could help OpenAI minimize its cash burn as it projected it would spend $16 billion to ren…

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

The wall is crowded with paintings in elaborate gilded frames and random gold things on the wall. The fireplace is full of gold ornaments.

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.
