This comic came out in October 1907. For example, it was printed in The Seattle Star on October 18, 1907.

It's cool fam, the sidebar of this community explicitly says we welcome AI Art. People are just a little wary because the corporations are using "AI" in such terrible ways.

Thanks! I'm still learning how to use GIMP to do all that.

Maybe Twitter would go for a Vichy France figure.

You're right, but just to rephrase:

  • The natural sciences aren't in the business of saying whether or not a given person existed.
  • If you think of history as a social science, then there may be "scientific" methodologies that determine whether or not a given person existed, but that's not what's generally though of as "scientifically proven"

Maybe we should consider replication studies to be "service to the community" when judging career accomplishments. Like, maybe you never chaired a conference but you published several replication studies instead. You could get your Masters students and/or undergrads to do the replications. We'd need journals that focus on replication studies, though.

Corporal punishment! Gun safety! Body shaming! Protecting migratory birds! These two panels cover a lot.

The page also has some other interesting stories.

  • "Fierce Fight in a Saloon"
  • Boxing rumors
  • A story about the rehab of a racing horse
  • An ad that carefully explains to rube readers how to use the ad: "Look at this Illustration and then we doubt If you can find any good excuse for not buying your new Winter Overcoat here especially in view of the fact that we'll agree to show you lots of garments that will look just as good to you as does this one In the picture."
  • A story about cooks and waiters affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World going on strike in Nevada. "Proprietors are endeavoring to run the places with Japanese help... The strikers demand a 10 hour day and recognition of the union."

I would suggest listening to the original Neil Diamond version of Red, Red Wine and the UB40 version. Basically all UB40 did was make it a more reggaeish sound and add a dub bit in the middle and they took an absolutely awful song, turned it into something new, and made it theirs.

Hey, I agree. Check out the Tony Tribe version from 1969, if you're not familiar with it. It kind of reinforces your point, because all these versions are so different.

That might work once or twice, but I suspect the rich would just launch their supplies from an island, or from a very large "Green Zone." But I'm guessing the space station would be very susceptible to sabotage or a suicide attack, or something.

This is to support a new book that Alex wrote, but they don't really talk about the book. They mostly talk to Alex about what it's like to grow old, various attempts at touring again, and how he's doing getting over Eddie's death. I though it was pretty moving in places.
