Meat Proxies

A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. Cepper, a Gothic sorceress, walks toward the “Faculty of Fire Magic” (the label is framed on the door). Beyond the door, we see scholars writing grimoires with AI parrots nearby. Signs on the faculty wall read: “Fireballs must be kept at a safe academic distance.” and “The Faculty is NOT responsible for burnt eyebrows.”

Cepper: “The Ring of Fire spell... I need it.”
Cepper: “So let’s ask someone who knows it, the good old human way.”

Panel 2. Cepper is now inside the faculty. She adopts a friendly pose and politely approaches a sorceress scholar halfing fox, red hair, she looks visibly bored or emotionally exhausted. Her AI Parrot writes in a grimoire for her; she barely glances at it.

Cepper: “Hey, would you happen to know how to cast a Ring of Fire spell? “

Panel 3. The scholar doesn’t bother responding herself: she simply asks her AI Parrot.

Scholar: “Avian Intelligence, tell me how to cast a Ring of Fire spell.”
AI Parrot: “Absolutely! PyroCircus.”

  • Inserted panel, she repeats the Parrot’s words word-for-word while Cepper barely contains her frustration in the background.

Scholar: “Absolutely. PyroCircus.”

Panel 4. Cepper, is intrigued but asks seriously while the scholar maintains her dead-inside expression.

Cepper: “Wait, you’re simply just an AI meat proxy now, aren’t you?”
Scholar: “Avian Intelligence, tell me how to reply to that.”

The power of AI.

Long story short, AI initially pushed back on the ridiculous idea that drinking your own piss was a cure all, then these users figured out that adding words like ‘esoteric’ to their prompts let them direct AI to tell them what they wanted to hear.

Tbh article was too gross for me to finish. That’s all you get from me for a summary.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer indicated Wednesday that should Democrats regain control of the chamber following the elections, they plan to block judicial nominees sent up by President Donald Trump, including for any possible vacancies on the Supreme Court.

“Look, the bottom line is, one of the reasons that we want to do everything we can to take back the Senate is not let Trump put such horrible justices, MAGA justices, on the Supreme Court and the lower courts,” he said.

The Degraded Search Engine

A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. Cepper, the gothic sorceress, walks toward a large steampunk machine in the center of the library written “Gooblin” on it, colored letters. The machine resembles a rusty block, with a threadmill on one side, a seat and a typewriter-style keyboard.

Cepper: “A good old ‘search engine’, this is what I need for my research!”

Panel 2. Close up, Cepper types on the typewriter keyboard, looking at the screen.

Cepper: “R.I.N.G. O.F. F.I.R.E S.P.E.L.L.S. enter”
Cepper: “...And voilà.”

Panel 3. The machine spits out dozens of scrolls and books. Cepper reads them.

Cepper: “Wait... Why are these results so bad?...”
Book 1: “(Ad) Ten Fire Spells That Will Change Your Life (You Won’t Believe the 7th!)”
Book 2: “(Sponsored) 15 Spicy Onion Ring Recipes”
Book 3: “(For you) Top 5 Best Engagement Rings”
Book 4: “(ad) How to Start a Campfire: A Comprehensive Guide”
Book 5: “Is Your Fire Spell Not Working? (Try This One Simple Trick!)”
Book 6: “(Sponsored) Cheap Fire-Resistant Panties! (50% Off Today Only!)”

Panel 4. A librarian approaches, their AI Parrot perched on their shoulder, pointing it. Cepper looks defeated, her eyes blasé.

Librarian: “Yeah, they tuned it this way so everyone just uses their Avian Intelligence for searching now...” Cepper: “...How unsurprising.”

Just days before the first round of Brazil’s presidential election, a confidential report from the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) warns that the United States is influencing the country’s electoral process. Titled “Threats to the 2026 Electoral Process,” the report was sent in late August to the presidency, the Superior Electoral Court and the Justice Ministry, warning that U.S. interference has reached a “critical” level.

Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro’s campaign has become the target of legal action over claims that it benefited from paid ads and mass messaging originating in the United States.

Too Used to Prompt

A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. Amall, the small elf scholar takes tea with Cepper, the gothic sorceress. Amall looks at the empty perch while eating a mufin with a pink frost on it. Cepper serve the tea to her guest.

Amall: “Wait, where’s your Avian Intelligence parrot?”
Cepper: “I got rid of it.”

Panel 2. Amall is now curious, while Cepper explains herself, a cup of tea in her hand.

Amall: “Really?”
Cepper: “Yeah, I realized the benefits weren’t worth the costs.”

Panel 3. Amall is confused, and Cepper continues her speech, confident.

Amall: “The... costs?”
Cepper: “The ecological costs. The data scraping. How it’s all controlled by a handful of corporations...”
Cepper: “But mostly how it made my brain lazier and lazier...”

Panel 4. Cepper now asks Amall a question with a pleading pose. Amall realizes her friend invited her with an ulterior motive and responds with a blasé attitude, her pointy hears turning down.

Cepper: By the way, how do I cast a Ring of Fire spell?
Amall: Wait... Have you invited me here just to replace your AI parrot?

On September 30, 1965, the brutal and bloody genocide against communists in Indonesia began, following a coup d’état organized primarily by the U.S. and the CIA, which would result in the extermination of 3 million people in just one year.

For more than three months, day and night, the CIA organized death squads through the fascist General Suharto; the U.S. imperialists helped compile lists of “enemies,” just as the Gestapo had done in Nazi Germany, providing Suharto’s genocidal forces with the addresses and names of “suspected communists.”

The squads went door to door, killing people day after day without stopping—not only by shooting them, hacking them to death with machetes, drowning them in rivers, throwing them into wells, or even strangling them with ropes in their own homes—but targeting anyone suspected of having even the slightest leftist leanings, ultimately exterminating more than 3 million people in a single year.

Of the 3 million Indonesians killed, only 500,000 were actually party members (another 1 million were detained and tortured); the majority of the rest weren’t even communists—they were simply progressive people, ranging from social democrats to liberals and even anti-imperialist nationalists.... but the cruel face of fascism makes no distinctions in its thirst for blood.

Women who supported progressive causes—simply because they were suspected of being communists and feminists—were tortured, r***d, had their breasts mutilated, and were burned alive like witches... The Indonesian fascists, having killed so many, reached the point of losing their minds and drinking the blood of their victims.

A leader of the Indonesian fascist killers of 1965 admitted that it was the U.S. that directed them in the massacre and that CIA officials should have treated them to a trip to the U.S. for the work they did against the Indonesian communists.

“We did this because the U.S. taught us to hate communists.”

The Communist Party of Indonesia was the first communist party in Asia and one of the largest in the world; it played a key role in the struggle against colonialism and in the country’s fight for independence; it was outlawed first by the Dutch colonial regime, then by the Japanese imperialists, later by the nationalists in 1948, and finally, in 1965, by the CIA’s fascist puppets who perpetrated the genocide… and to this day, the party remains illegal in Indonesia, and those “suspected” of being communists are barred from holding any government office.

These are the true millions of deaths that US sponsored books and Western bought-off media will never tell you about—those caused by Western imperialism.

In Madrid, after evicting 87-year-old Maricarmen from her lifelong home, today the police mercenaries sent by the PSOE-led government delegation tried to evict a 65-year-old woman with cancer.

The people camped out in Puerta del Sol prevented it and forced the uniformed thugs to retreat, while promised decrees continue to be issued and armies are sent to evict elderly women.
