Calvin is saying to his imaginary tiger friend Hobbes: “If you do a job badly enough, sometimes you don’t get asked to do it again.” In the cartoon he has shoveled a path in the snow all the way around the house and placed several large piles of snow in the way of the shoveled path, instead of shoveling the relatively short path from the houses front door and the car.

We live in a country with a failed media & journalism system.
Photo of Neil deGrasse Tyson Text: The fact that there is a rise of flat earthers is evidence of two things. 1. We live in a country that protects free speech. 2. We live in a country with a failed educational system.

I feel like there’s an Andy Capp joke in there somewhere.
Comic strip Andy Cap. In the first panel a soccer ref is blowing his whistle aggressively while Andy says “Don’t make such a fuss, ref.” In the second panel, Andy says “It was just a slight tug of his jersey.” The panel shows Andy still holding the opposing players jersey that he has pulled completely off the now shirtless opponent. The ref appears to be rolling his eyes.

“Is this a” butterfly meme. The young man who is Atlanta United asks “Is this a trophy?” while gesturing at a butterfly who is the wooden spoon.

More AI as lawyer seen in the wild (Facebook) today:
Facebook ad for a company that helps people form LLCs. The ad compares themselves to lawyers who bill $150-400 an hour. A screenshot from the tailorbrands website. It is a video showing their AI called Navi telling the customer which filings and licenses the customer needs for a business that does financial consulting in New York state.

Spotted in Atlanta last night:

ChatGPT advertisement just leaning into the UPL?
A vertical electronic ad board on the side of a building. The advertisement shows a woman painting a wall with a paint roller while standing on a step ladder. At the top is “ChatGPT” and its logo. The text beneath the woman says “Check out my lease — is painting my walls okay or a mistake?”

City of Atlanta also uses the phoenix rising motif (and Atlanta actually did rise from the ashes)
Blue flag with yellow circular crest in the middle. The crest features a phoenix rising from flames. Across the top it says “resurgens” across the bottom it says “1847 Atlanta GA 1865”
