Startling conclusion here: www.smbc-comics.com/comic/hole #smbc

I thought you’d like these pictures of Alan Davies, Brian Cox, Tim Peake and Kelly Weinersmith in the Green Room before tonight’s Monkey Cage recording

Me too though for some reason I do t think this one was too popular

Kinda neat how you can quantify exactly how much of a corruption boost TSLA was getting www.bloomberg.com/quote/TSLA:US

The simple funny ones always feel like someone else must’ve done it first.

“This trump guy doesn’t know the first thing about graft!”

There's been an uptick lately in people sending me old comics, ever since we made the ads less obnoxious. Encouraging. Seeing what I can do to make them less bad.

Ha! Someone sent me this comic of mine from about 15 years ago, predicting the TRUE THEORY OF VIBECODING www.smbc-comics.com?id=2362

Why are they called semantic arguments and not "ad homonyms" ?

The other interesting question here is... do you think this sort of thing will still be controversial in 5, 10, 20 years?

So, in francophone social media, there's a controversy over a book that came out and suuuuure looks like AI. It's about the badness of capitalism, poverty, climate change: www.reddit.com/r/france/com...

Wow! Today I learned that during the Iran hostage crisis, the wrestling character The Iron Sheik would talk about it on stage! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Iro... I kinda wish wrestling was still idiotically about current events. Like, why isn't there a wrestler called The European or something?

Best joke idea ever

In today's episode we had the other Weinersmith ( @zachweinersmith.bsky.social ) join us for a chat about rockets and the upside and pitfalls of a potential future space economy! www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

So, more and more it seems like we'll have more devices like Alexa constantly listening, and now even being able to respond to context. What do you think would be ideal rules for minor legal infractions that normally going unreported?

Heh apnews.com/article/redd... Nice that Reddit is suing because of ClaudeAI taking content made by users. No doubt if they win, the money will be distributed to the content makers.

Great story from Hugh Everett about his thesis advisor Wheeler

Man, I usually think of modern academia as overly political (in the sense of inside-academia bullshit) but reading about how Wheeler refused to give Hugh Everett his final exam until his thesis was drastically altered to make Bohr happy is kinda crazy.
