As all the time: if you discover worth on this work I do, please take into account serving to me maintain it sustainable by becoming a member of my weekly publication, Sparky’s List! You can get it in your inbox or learn it on Patreon, the content material is similar. And don’t overlook to go to the Tom Tomorrow Merchandise Mall!
Also, there’s a bonus cartoon beneath the fold this week.
(An excerpt from that publication I’m all the time urging you to enroll in): When I critique the media, as on this week’s cartoon, it’s vital to know: I don’t need them to not exist, I simply need them to do a greater job. Unfortunately present developments are heading extra within the “not existing” course. For instance, they pulled the plug on Sports Illustrated this week. I’m not a sports activities particular person, however that’s inappropriate — it’s one other legacy publication gone, at the very least till it will get reborn in some zombified model posting A.I. content material. Also this week, the Baltimore Sun’s new proprietor (chairman of the infamous Sinclair conglomerate) informed the workers that he doesn’t learn the paper, and that they need to be extra just like the native Fox station (which he additionally owns). Everywhere you look, newspapers and media are getting decimated and changed with a rising avalanche of proper wing propaganda and A.I. generated rubbish. It all made me consider this cartoon from 2009. It was clearly a really completely different period of the web, however I feel the cartoon retains some relevance.
