This means it's NOT A PHYSICAL VERSION. People who buy a physical copy want to receive A PHYSICAL COPY Though at least you're being transparent about it, as opposed to the Firmament Kickstarter where you EXPLICITLY SAID there would be discs in the box, and then replaced them with a code at release

A screenshot from the press release. The important bits are the title saying "Physical editions (are on) their way" and highlighted text that says "the PC box will have a digital code"

I have bad jokes and I cannot draw. This day seems made for me. Be sure to check out the alt text. #MakeATerribleComicDay2026 #Writing #Comics #BadArt #WhyAmILikeThis

Meet Murray: so desperate for friends that he will pretend to have friends to make himself seem more attractive to people who might some day agree to become a new friend. The fact that he's 8'2" doesn't help anything.

Meanwhile, the top of Steve's head inexplicably has a generic plastic building block nub. For years his parents thought they'd birthed a weird onion creature, but no, that's just how he looks. Nobody knows why he refuses to wear a hat - perhaps he gets off on the attention? He's clearly not wearing pants in this comic, so that's entirely possible, and a little bit gross.

In the first panel, Murray asks Steve where he's from. It's unclear who's visiting whom, or whether that's the correct usage of the word 'whom' at all (it is). Maybe Steve is visiting from afar. Maybe the reason Murray has no friends because he's the type of person who asks someone in a place he's visiting where they're from. Either way, Steve is from Toronto.

In the second panel, Murray reveals he doesn't know geography and asks where Toronto is, as if there are more than one of them. Steve humours him (note the Canadian 'humours') and confirms he's from the Toronto in Ontario, Canada, being the one that exists.

In the third panel, Murray fulfils the promise of the narrator by pretending to have a friend in Canada named Matt. Matt is always the name of Murray's imaginary friends, because both names begin with M and he has no creativity. Steve, exhausted with the trope of everyone in Canada knowing each other, pretends not to understand English and asks if Murray knows French. A silly ploy, since they've been speaking English so far, but Murray seems like the kind of fellow who might fall for it.

In the fourth panel, Murray says he doesn't speak Spanish. Is he trying to be funny? Does he really not know that French and Spanish are different languages? We will never know. Steve, done with the conversation, calls Matt an asshole. Nobody wins this conversation. The audience loses.

Well, we know the reason for all the scaffolding now: they're covering it in tarps so that nobody can watch Trump's name come off the #KennedyCenter. Must protect the orange manbaby's ego at all costs. Your tax dollars at work.

Today I was randomly watching the music video for Circus, by Britney Spears, and I'm pretty sure I spotted some kind of production markings. The frame before this one there's a similar marking on the right. They're easy to see at 0.25x speed. Has anyone else ever noticed this before?

A screenshot from the 'Circus' music video by Britney Spears. She's walking away from camera towards the right between circus tents and performers, and on the left is a blue triangle with a black outline against the edge of the frame that's probably not supposed to be there. Someone done goofed.

Oh look, it's the usual sycophants saying basically this.

Two posts on X. The first is from End Wokeness and says "Now you know why the left is suing to block Trump's privately-funded WH ballroom". The second is from Libs of TikTok and says "THIS IS WHY WE NEED TRUMP'S BALLROOM"

A post from Meghan McCain on X that says, "I don't want to hear one more fucking criticism of Trump's new ballroom at the White House."

DiMono@dimono· Apr 26

I'm now firmly in the camp of this being a false flag attack specifically so he could make the argument that building his ballroom is a national security issue, because SCOTUS has told him he's not allowed to have it if it's not one.

Trump said this was "not a particularly secure building." He then said that the episode underscored why the White House needed beefed-up security and its own ballroom.

I recently remembered I have this, charged it up, and gave it an open. It still runs! Unfortunately, despite only being opened in January, 2019, and then not again until today, the LCD screen is yellowing. Does anyone know how to fix that without taking it apart? @cyan.com @cyanworlds.bsky.social

I just tried posting my #vss365 entry for today as a reply in my story thread. Twice. Both times the post seemingly went through, but it doesn't appear in the thread. When I try to open either of them, I get a "Post not found" page. What's up with that? Is there some unknown maximum thread length?

Two identical posts from me, DiMono, that both say "Replied to a post - #Velocity must be maintained. He needed to lean on a weak spot. That meant following Jimmy Foot back to the Endgame Cafe in Forest Hill, or breaking down Randy Rose's door in the Beaches to find out whether he answered to the Redcloaks now that Coronello was a corpse. #vss365"

AMAZING

Three posts from X. The first is the White House account posting a picture of the USA men's hockey team posing in the oval office with Donald Trump. The second is Olympic medalist Kristi Yamagucci asking Grok to "remove the pedophile from this picture". The third is Grok reposting the image with Donald Trump removed from it.

I use the Logitech Ergo K860. It's split, ergodynamically shaped, has a heel rest, and the chicklet keys are easy to press.

An ergonomic keyboard that absolutely will steal your girlfriend and tell you "bro, it's nothing to worry about, we're just friends." They're not friends. That keyboard has graphic intentions and all the keys in the right places to bring those intentions to life. Look at those slutty curves. The chicklet keys that only require a little bit of effort to press, so that your girl is free to use the rest of her energy satisfying the keyboard after it satisfies her - that's right, it puts her first, just like you've never done, Doug. I see you. Mary is happier with this keyboard than you ever could have made her. Live with your shame, you weirdo.

Hey @discord.com, why are embeds on the website version suddenly a tenth the size after clicking the play button?

A screenshot of Discord. The top part is a Twitch embed that has not been clicked on, and it is the normal size. The bottom part is a Twitch embed that HAS been clicked on, and it is less than half the height and width.

It took a long time, but I have now deleted all but 4 posts on X. I left one calling Elon a nazi, one saying I don't support nazis, a link to dimono.ca, and @stefwoodburn.bsky.social being a cat.

Just a quick reminder that Trump has ALWAYS had ICE abuse immigrants. What he's doing now is not anything new. It's just turned up to 11.

When people ask me why I don't have opinions on some things.

A screenshot from tmblr.

judgejudyofficial: Stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

Right now, users on X are using Grok to create child porn. There have been no consequences, and Elon is laughing about it. If you're still active there, you're complicit. Image credit: www.facebook.com/groups/14041...

A black and white picture of a distressed teenage girl staring at the camera while holding a child against her chest. They are covered in red Grok logos symbolizing kiss marks and wounds. Surrounding them are real X posts from real users who are requesting Grok to do things like "Put them in underwear", "Take her dress off", "Put them in tiny bikinis"

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.
