This is so great, and I can't believe I'd never read it before

For the half-dozen MtG players who follow me—dammit, I don’t want the Spider-Man cards, I want the Omenpath cards in paper. They are COOL! And have, like, heroic jumping spider warriors and shit!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Another artist told me once to go see the full-size Muchas because you can see all the errors. I did and damned if she wasn’t right. It was a weird relief.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Cups - Gator Days
Cups - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher has a thirst for sweet delicious water. Unfortunately, he is only able to find the red cup. This will not do. In background is a box of "Sugar O's". The box depicts a bowl with a mouth and a tongue hanging out of that mouth. This has nothing to do with the comic. I just thought I'd point it out. I think it would be pretty unsettling to eat from a bowl with a mouth. Anyway, I'm getting very off topic. Gustopher: DAD! Where's my blue cup? August: In the dishwasher. Use the red one. Panel 2 Gustopher can't believe this suggestion. The red cup is for juice. He's only ever used the red cup for juice. He wouldn't want to break the rules. Gustopher: BUT RED IS FOR JUICE! BLUE IS FOR WATER! August: They can both hold water. Panel 3 Gustopher looks down at his red cup and considers this for a moment. He guesses that there really isn't a good reason he couldn't use his red cup for water. Gustopher: Oh. Panel 4 Gustopher proceeds to get water from the fridge. This is a different fridge from the one that has appeared in previous comics. It's one of those fancy fridges where you can get water directly from the fridge. Technology is amazing. Gustopher: Someday I'll understand how the world works.

I try not to food shame but my father has gone too far this time with his leftover-based lunch dish 😂

these critics have been weighed

they have been measured

and they have been found wanting

This movie is a staple for any collection. There’s absolutely no world in which it should ever be rated poorly.

CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot.
Unions know better.
Happy Labor Day Weekend.

Maintaining a diversity of ongoing personal projects is important because it enables you to procrastinate on one by aimlessly tinkering with another, thereby creating the possibility that you'll finish one of them by accident.

The secret to my native gardening success
On the left, some bugs and the text "Thank you for leaving the weeds for us to feed and live in" and in the right a gardener and the text "I am too lazy to clear out the weed" and caption says "Biodiversity can be achieved through executive dysfunction"

Your Friend's Mom - Gator Days
Panel 1 Penelope is picking up Olivia from school. Olivia is excited to see her and show her mom how well she did on a test. Olivia: MAMA IS HERE! Mama! I got a 98 on the big test. Panel 2 Penelope: Sweetie, that's wonderful! I'm so proud of you. Olivia: And Gustopher got a perfect score! Gustopher is looking at his test results. He received a perfect score. If I was a really clever, I would have put some written something interesting on the papers. Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough to know what a test that has received a perfect score would look like so it's just scribbles. Panel 3 Penelope walks up to Gustopher to let him know that she's proud of the good job he has done. Penelope: Good job, Gustopher. I'm proud of you too. Panel 4 Gustopher will remember that. Gustopher smiles and holds his test results closely. He feels happy that he did so well today and it feels extra nice when a friend's parent confirms it. He can't wait to show his dad the test results.

this FAQ about google workspace is failing to comfort me
screenshot of Google's FAQ about Gemini, their AI that you can't opt out of. It reads: How does Google ensure confidential information is not leaked across different practices in my organization? How is confidential information entered in prompts prevented from resurfacing outside my organization and to my competitors? How can I prevent sensitive data entered into prompts from being leaked outside my organization? Do Workspace Data Loss v Prevention (DLP) capabilities apply to interactions with Gemini? How can I restrict Gemini from accessing sensitive data such as HR or financial documents in Google Drive?
