I collaborated with the Human Artistry Project to make this strip alongside other web cartoonists to make the point that “Stealing isn’t Innovation” when it comes to A.I. usage. It seems to be doing numbers on instagram and elsewhere, so you may also read it here, tumblr.
May the discourse that ensues be long and unhelpful.
Look, we all know this is true. But there isn't a SOURCE for this, and the graph itself is basically illegible beyond "ooh colors". If we want to be good stewards of our informational resources, we need to cite our sources.
From a reverse image search, I found the website Show Your Stripes, run by the University of Reading in the UK, which is likely where the above graph originated. It provides temperature data for various regions of the world from approximately 1900-2025. For example, here are graphs for Canada, India, and Papua New Guinea:
All clearly show a sharp rise in temperature beginning around approximately the 1980s, which corresponds with the graph in OP's post. But now we know where this data came from, and we can verify its validity accordingly.
This book has a very detailed description of 6 types of commonly seen folds and I think is one of the most educational resource on how to draw folds(Besides Vilppu and Bridgeman).
The whole "but what about making sure artists receive credit for their work?" objection to copyright reform is especially irritating because treating moral rights (i.e., the right to attribution, etc.) as descending from or strictly subordinate to commercial exploitation rights is a uniquely American perspective. Not only are these two things separable, they are in fact separated in the vast majority of intellectual property regimes – it's basically just the United States that treats attribution rights as a strict subset of commercial rights. Hell, the US schema is arguably worse in terms of ensuring that artists are properly credited than nearly any conceivable alternative, as treating the right to attribution as a subset of commercial rights means that the right to attribution can be signed away. There are lots of places where it's simply inalienable!
(Of course, this also goes for US copyright abolitionists banging on about how giving up the right to attribution is a necessary sacrifice – like, no, it isn't. These things are separable. Treating them like the one inherently descends from the other is literally just you guys.)
It's the Royal Academy of Art Young Artist's Summer Show. One of my favourite exhibitions of the year. Like. Not only are the older kids insanely talented, the younger ones' artist statements will just punch you right in the face.

The Twilight Zone: Our episode "A Slot Machine Chases You Around Physically" was meant as a cautionary tale about the predatory nature of the gambling industry
The Gambling Industry: We've invented the slot machine that chases you around physically from The Twilight Zone episode "A Slot Machine Chases You Around Physically"
Look, this episode is fine. Its Fine. Its not cringe / offensive like the bad half of TKO. Its not frustrating and inane like Survivors (Still my least favorite by far so far). I'd call it filler if it wasn't laying more hooks for some pretty important mysteries. Its got some bits that gave me a genuine chuckle so I had a decent time with it tbh.
Now for the plot:
This "distinguished guest" is a Grail seeker. Yes that grail.
Meanwhile
Jinxo feels like the sort of forced nickname you come up with for an NPC in a high-school D&D game cause calling people by nicknames instead of their chosen name is what the cool kids did.
Jinxo here is in trouble with a racketeer, Deuce, who has a alien that can eat your thoughts that he uses to neutralize witnesses.
I don't believe anyone sees this episode and genuinely thinks Kosh is doing this. But it does make one wonder what is actually doing it.
Hey doc! Been a minute!
God he's just itching to displace some unhoused people.
Come on Sinclair, its all he's been trained for!
These two plots immediately have an inelastic collision and march side-by-side for the remainder of the episode. Jinxo tries to lift Aldous's credits. And gets instantly snatched by Garabaldi.
Mood. At least our man ain't a snitch. We jump to the worlds fastest hearing and the ombudsman gives Jinxo a really lenient sentence of "Move out and get a job". This, strangely, makes Jinxo really upset
So Aldous and the judge have a whiteman tête-à-tête and agree to let Jinxo stay so long as he follows the seeker around for the rest of the episode.
So what's the big deal? Why won't Jinxo just do his court mandated get-out-of-town and solve all his problems with one space plane ticket?
Ah yes The Curse.
It hasn't come up too often, but remember, this show is called Babylon 5 cause the first 4 were all sabotaged or "disappeared". THIS is the mystery this episode puts hooks in for. What do you MEAN disappeared?? How does a space station vanish?
Really makes you wonder what happened to B4 huh? So, Jinxo is called Jinxo cause he thinks he's jinxed. If he leaves the station he's convinced something will happen to it.
Meanwhile Franklin has figured out what's eating everyone's minds
Which seemingly comes from Centauri space. And news of it on station send Londo scurrying to his quarters
Just in time for some really fun Londo & Vir interactions
Deuce eventually goes after Jinxo and Aldous (and the Ombudsman?) and we get our big show down.
I dig the feeder. Fun mind-squid design. Classic. Sadly Aldous goes down in the fighting and he passes the mantle on to Jinxo, as his teacher had done to him. And the real grail was the people we helped along the way
No, really. Aldous was saved from his survivor's guilt by the grail seeker before him. And now he does the same with Thomas (Jinxo). He found his 'grail' when he gave Thomas a new purpose in life.
