What does it know? Does it know things?

Not that it ever wasn’t, really, but…After many years of crop-sensor cameras, I went full frame in ~2018 with the Nikon D750. It’s a great camera, though I didn’t use it much during the pandemic. The full frame lenses are really heavy, though, so photography felt like more like work instead of recreation.

[orange, proud] I’m willing to pay more for products MADE IN THE USA because I’m a based patriot who wants to SUPPORT REAL AMERICANS [green, accusatory] OK then how about supporting american workers by paying them a living wage? [orange, dismissively shaking their hands while having a look of absolute disgust on their face] NO [the comic is squished into a funneling triangle shape for some reason]

[a graph of SMUGCRAFT FIGHTERS PLAYER COUNT OVER TIME is steadily rising] [orange] It’s the one and only game worth playing, if you play anything else you suck [blue, grinning] You are having trouble? Skill issue, try harder noob, go commit die IRL lmao [yellow] Casuals are the worst, uninstall and go play my little pony instead [the SMUGCRAFT FIGHTERS PLAYER COUNT OVER TIME graph now shows a steady decline] [yellow, confused] Why is the game dying? Smugcraft Fighters is the best game around, are people stupid? [orange] New people don’t seem to stick around, this is weird, I don’t get it [blue, still grinning] It must be because they are noskill casual noob losers who can’t play for shit!

[green, speaking, looking smug] Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan… We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win. [we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms] [green, smiling] OK? [blue, pissed] Dude…

[blue] If you could push a button that gives you a hundred thousand dollars but a random person dies, would you do it?  [yellow, cautious] Interesting thought experiment… intuitively, I’d say no, but it’s worth thinking about… it’s a genuine moral dilemma in a capitalist world: there’s a dialectic between our desires and the common good… MEANWHILE, BILLIONAIRES [an orange guy in a suit is shown with a terrifying grin pushing as many buttons as possible at once on a table, slamming one of the buttons, and even using their foot to press an extra one]

[Jesus sits on a rock, speaking] A new command I give you: Love one another [an angry character talks back to Jesus] What if they’re something bad like gay, trans, brown, or communist though? [Jesus is facepalming on his rock] I don’t want to be a messiah anymore

[blue, looking quite sad, is sitting in a warzone, in military gear] War… War is hell… [blue is now suffering from PTSD, holding their head in anguish] War is horrible. I was a soldier. It was by far the most horrifying, most traumatizing part of my life [green, curious, asks blue a question] Well then maybe we should stop getting involved in wars? [blue, furious with rage, aggressively pointing at green] SHUT UP YOU ANTIPATRIOTIC WOKELING YOU ARE TRYING TO RUIN SOCIETY

NOAA’s National Weather Service announced today that El Nino has developed in the tropical Pacific, and issued an El Nino Advisory. El Nino, the warm phase of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), is predicted to intensify to a moderate or strong level this fall. Forecasters predict a 63% chance of sea surface temperatures exceeding 2.0°C in the Nino-monitored region of the Pacific. If this threshold is surpassed, NOAA considers the event a “very strong” El Nino.
