Police constantly use lethal force over a misdemeanor. Racism is their judge and jury.

You scroll past these comics to escape stress, but on the other side, creators are drowning in it. Platforms profit from our work, but we see none of it.

Patreon is the difference between creating out of love and creating out of desperation.

If you've ever laughed, smiled, or felt less alone because of our comics, know this: Your support means the world to us.

Thank you for being part of the story and helping us keep creating what we love.

“I’ve certainly stopped by the Reflecting Pool from time to time. I even lived in the nation’s capital for five years. It always seemed more or less fine: water, reflecting, no evident swampiness. I started googling at first and Google AI told me how this has really been a big deal for ages and no one had been able to fix the problems. But when I looked at the articles they were getting this from it was all stuff from the last month, with sections that were longer versions of the snippet I just showed you.”

Trump’s New Leak in the Back Reflecting Pool Legend

This is one of the truly insidious, deadly, and dangerous aspects of AI use in search results, and it’s entirely by design.

The oligarchs and tech fascists want to manipulate reality (or at least the public perception of reality) by substituting their ideological lies and false bullshit for actual facts. They tell the AI to ignore sources they don’t like, and to privilege those that they do, and this is what we get.

It’s *vital* that we teach kids (and reeducate adults, if necessary) to never use AI for this sort of information gathering. It’s so dangerous to let this happen without any pushback.

Fuck AI. Fuck technofascists.
