Fish gives Postman fish a letter. Postman fish travels through a dangerous evil forest. Postman fish reaches a computer. Postman fish checks Fish's letter. It says "ls" and a key is attached. Postman fish types ls on the computer. It prints the output of the command. Postman fish copies the output of the command and travels back to Fish. Postman fish hands Fish the output of "ls" in a neat envelope with a fish sticker.

First page of "Thirteen at Table, adapted from the Lord Dunsany Tale", by Piper Bly.

There's two panels. The first one has some boxes of text: 'In front of a spacious fireplace of the old kind, when the logs were well-alight, and men with pipes and glasses were gathered before it in great easeful chairs, and the wild weather outside and the comfort that was within and the hour of the night all called for the weird and the uncanny.... Then out spole the Ex-Master of Foxhounds -- and told his tale.' The Ex-master of Foxhounds then talks while wielding a cigar: '...And I... I once had an odd experience, too.'

Second panel has a fox in the foreground being chased. Text reads 'It was when I had the bromley and sydenham, the year I gave them up -- as a matter of fact it was the last they of the season. Twas early April, and we had drawn blank all day-- And on the last draw of all we found a fox. We settled down into a steady gallop-- left the clay lands where the bracken grows and came to a valley at the edge of the chalk--'

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.

TRUE: UK RESEARCHERS RECENTLY FOUND THAT CERTAIN BRANDS OF AIR FRYERS ARE COLLECTING CONSUMER DATA
THROUGH PHONE APPS.

follower-only-special: from Nine's journals:

Matured Nine cleans her rifle, watching her master Rabbit Techno-Mage stare into the distance.

"Some nights I would catch him staring into the distance. The older I grew, the more I realized - he was listening, hoping to catch a whisper of the aethereal machine spirits. I don't know, if they ever did talk to him, but either way, I know his answer would be: "Go fuck yourselves."

Child of Nine, pt4: Divine Malevolence

Rabbit Techno-Mage, Nine and Acme, the horse-bird, walk past dead Mata_Bots and Mata_Mercenaries. They're having a conversation regarding the machine deities.

Rabbit: "...Spirit of the Machine? Fossangels? Sure, they're out there. But we're nothing to them but playthings... No benevolent machine being in the sky would let things get this far."

Wisdom of the Pentium-M Man

Mage and a liberated fully sentient Pentium-M Man stand by a brick wall, overlooking the desert. They are talking.

Mage is looking anxiously into the eyes of the machine. Penguin is standing behind her, holding on to her.

Pentium-M Man: "...they despise your kind because you understand the machine, while they have to turn jungles into fuel and enslave thousands of computers just to pretend that the machine speaks to them too."

Latest comic: AI gone MAD

AI GONE MAD

1. AI has been feeding on the creative efforts of humans for a while.

We provide "grass" for this hungry digital bovine. Shown: pixelated cow labeled COWGPT

2. But as the internet increasingly becomes filled with AI-generated content, AI is consuming itself.

Researchers at Rice University have compared the resulting data corruption to mad cow disease, spread by cows eating other cows.

Cow eating ground up cow with hoof sticking out

3. They say "without enough fresh real data, future generative models are doomed to madness." (Model Autophagy Disorder)

Cows eating other cows, devolving into multiple legged three eyed AI cows

4. Is this really the dream of the future? A diseased digital brain full of misfolded data prions leading us to certain death?

1990s - Woman using Netscape Navigator: The whole world is connected!

Soon - Waking away from laptop as frothing cow emerges from screen: I think I'll read a book.
