I suspect that some readers might interpret this cartoon as a call for Luddism, but mostly it's a reflection of thoughts I've been having lately about out-of-control data harvesting and a growing surveillance state.

Latest comic: Tech billionaires just want to save humanity!
This week's comic is about how easily conventional wisdom gets turned on its head by bad faith actors, especially in a media environment lacking responsible editors.
A comic from 2022. I want to make a distinction between the Democrats who are speaking out forcefully against authoritarianism and those whose overcautious approach enabled the extremist takeover of our institutions. This is about the dangers of unaccountability and kicking the can down the road. As recent elections demonstrate, voting is still extremely important.

Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.

@JasonAnthonyGuy I actually came very close to using the sharks with laser beams quote! Couldn't fit everything I wanted into the cartoon.

Since this comic is generating a fair amount of discussion, I thought I would share an excerpt from my blog post about it:
I’ve been wanting to write a comic for a while about how virtually everything is gendered, especially when it comes to political rhetoric. A large swath of the American electorate is, unfortunately, swayed by tough talk — however stupid — and a fear of being perceived as weak or "female." (cont'd)
@APBBlue@thepit.social Thank you, Amy!

@wilbr@glitch.social @sleepytako@famichiki.jp You're almost right -- this comic is a repost from January 2020, when it seemed like the US was about to declare war on Iran.

@lwriemen Quoting from the movie with Arnold Conan; not sure about the original stories.

@wilbr@glitch.social @mrs_malice@mastodon.world Correct, it is the OCR app copying the comic font
Replying to
@knowprose@mastodon.social It is true that social media companies thrive on conflict and tend to incentivize arguments. In this case, I am referring to the use of the word "polarization" among journalists and others to describe the political landscape in a safe way that avoids talking about what is actually happening.

@EugestShirley It is interesting that we don't hear about the Koch family as much as we used to, even though they're very active in politics.
Replying to
@kasperd They were more or less inspired by OceanGate cofounder Guillermo Sohnlein who spoke of colonizing Venus, Sam Altman, and SBF. https://gizmodo.com/oceangate-founder-wants-to-send-1-000-people-to-venus-1850695687
