Panel 3: OceanGate

No disagreement here. I’ll take the .jpeg pixellation over AI filters anyday.

If you’re curious: ‘Se’ in Irish is a ‘Sh’ sound. But technically just ‘Sean’ is ‘Shan’, which is the word for ‘old’. There has to be an accent mark to make it proper and a name.

‘Seàn’ is the name, as ‘Shawn’.

‘Sèan’ is ‘Shane’.

There was probably an AI filter with the compression that makes this very real photo from a decade ago look like AI slop.

You spend eighty years rehabilitating nazis to fight socialism, you get nazis and no socialism.

Windows can automount USB drives, so a flash drive can get inadvertently formatted, (or something to do with the bootloader, i don’t know the technical details that well.) Point is the automounting can break a flash drive that isn’t formatted for windows.

Switched everything to Bazzite as a start. Easiest switch after figuring out Windows sabotages boot drives.

I may have pirated all my Windows but man it feels good to be off that ride. Spoofing corporate licenses for the authenticator was such a hassle.

I don’t care about the heads.

I just want to repurpose the assets.

I’d say Pepe is now more internet and gaming at large. Which… can be a bit adjacent, but I say is firmly stepped out.

I feel like Pepe was taken back/freed from that association over covid times. Pepe is such a common template for memes and emotes anymore.

How deep you want to go down the rabbit hole?

Mandani’s opposition has been tireless in trying to get him into making stances on wedge issues, especially on things like foreign policy, to deflect from his popular intended policies as mayor.

So recently like after months of being burned by his own party for supporting Palestinians, he made a statement that called Oct 7 a war crime. So now the job is to paint him as a secret zionist.

Which again, is not an issue for a NYC mayor. His plans to tax the rich, however, is.

If Mamdani backed down from free busses and rent freezes, then we’d have cause for concern.

There was an episode I remember where they explored Mexican cuisine and a contestant said ‘Gacky-molo’ for ‘Guacamole’ and that has stuck with me since.

The Young Republicans weren’t lying when they said calling their opposition candidates white supremacists might work against them.

Somewhere between 8 and 634 assassination attempts on Castro.

Agh they just need to pick a fuckin’ name and get on with it.

So you hate the world then, I see.

Hot butter rum.
