Is the yellow tint in the strip him deliberately trying to make some sort of point, or is it always like that?

It’s a terrible thing that’s happened, but fuck gadgetreview for that shitty misleading clickbait headline.

Editor knew they wouldn’t get the same impact with “teacher posted in a group chat that they were going to shoot a student”, so “group” becomes “private” and the detail about the threat gets moved way down into the article body. This is a journal who clearly wants to tell you what to think.

what's that you say, stupid-ass NRA propaganda?

Facebook's AI auto summarizer that it passes to Google et al, is currently rewriting The National's reporting of Rod Liddle's death to say "he dies of alcoholism, suicide or cancer, a short illness followed by a heart attack".

As usual, it was without their explicit consent.

The reason why the outcry over GoT's decline was so loud is that it actually managed to make previous seasons worse by its existence. All that intrigue your favourite characters were building over the previous 5 seasons? None of that ever mattered; either it got forgotten about by the writers, or the character switched into stupid mode and threw all their progress away for no reason. Once you've become aware of that, it's hard to get on board with their development on rewatch.

Anyone in a position to speculate how he might get on in prison? Traditionally sex offenders get a hard time from other inmates, but I've a sneaking suspicion than manosphere toxic masculinity shit might be quite popular there, and he's shown to be quite expert at manipulating vulnerable young men.

I'm sure you could probably dig up an exception or two, but by and large "using tools to trace real-life objects and photographs" isn't an accurate portrayal of the sort of thing that gets people flak online. Every tracing scandal I've seen on tumblr is an artist essentially plagiarising work from another artist in the same community.

It's the difference between "my character is shooting a bow in this panel, let's find some references for archery poses so I can get it right" versus "oh hey that's a cool picture someone drew of an archer, I think I'll trace it and fill in my character's face and colours instead and post it online and pretend like I made it all myself without crediting the person who actually did 99% of the creative process"

I still occasionally use æ for encyclopædia, æon and æther if I'm feeling fancy.

Worth what? It’s basically free.
