Oh good, they're asking the public to name something again! (replica sutton hoo ship). They have explicitly asked for nothing like Boaty mcBoatface, so this is time for old english scholars to represent. What is the OE for "Boaty McBoatface"? Can we do something with "whale road"...? #Medievalsky

Bloody insane that a popular streamer is providing healthcare. Every "heartwarming" late stage capitalism story is a confession of how badly we've been robbed.

Buy a lantern for emergencies. You can pick a BOGO and an extra lantern goes into the pile for the next refugee shipment.
#LuminAID make all sorts of great items, including strings of lights that can be charged with a USB plug. Charging mine now!

And while talking Solar Power…
I picked up a few luminAID lamps (some models also recharge your phone) before the Ottawa derecho, and while we didn’t lose power, *all* the houses around us did, for a week+, and lending them out was helpful. Check out luminAID.

How Safe Light Brings Comfort to Refugees and Survivors of Natural Disasters
Light can be more than a tool for after dark; it is also a source of comfort and safety in dark times. LuminAID solar lights offer comfort and safety when conditions are unstable. LuminAID lanterns with phone charging also provide the comfort of keeping in contact with family members and emergency services.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

So, this comes out NEXT WEEK, apparently. I'm positive it was listed for the 19th when solicited. I even had a signing set up (not happening), it was confirmed by the shop at the time.
I guess it got bumped??? Or my head got bumped.
Anyway, buy the comic when you see it!

Things have been hectic and I've been remiss in plugging CATACOMB OF TORMENT #5, which hits shelves on Wednesday from @oni-press.bsky.social. My second story for the EC anthology is "Necronomicomicon", and I'm teamed up with @lukasketner.bsky.social again on art.
It's EC for thee, see?
