Tech Bro Manifesto

Gross slob and Palantir CEO Alex Karp recently released a fascist manifesto on X, the app that loves that sort of thing. As the AI bubble begins to show cracks even its boosters can’t ignore, the CEOs are becoming increasingly belligerent, having spent years surrounded by yes-men and yes-chatbots telling them everyone loves having the entire economy propped up by vaporware no one wants.

I could’ve easily included Google, Microsoft, and Apple CEOs in this comic too, but the one’s featured here are all-in on Al and fascism and have yet to contribute anything beneficial to society. You could make the case that Musk and Zuck used to make things, but you’d be wrong, dummy. They bought (or stole) already existing things and then took credit for it. Even I could do that if I had apartheid emerald mine money.

Anyway, I’ll continue hammering away at the idea that AI rots your brain, and the only proof you need is its loudest proponents.

What a year this week has been, huh? I was mostly done with this cartoon when ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis, so I shoehorned an oblique reference to it in Rubio’s comments. The only surprising thing is that it took this long for these untrained goons to kill someone the media couldn’t ignore.

Leaked MRIs

They’re trucking Trump up to the National Zoo every other week to put him in the large animal MRI, and the official line is that he’s in perfect health with a good brain. Whatever it really is, it needs to hurry up and be extremely painful. Hopefully it happens over the holiday break so we can all celebrate as a nation.

I’ve referenced the movie Innerspace before and like everything Joe Dante made in the ’80s it was extremely influential to me. Gremlins 3 might finally be happening, but Chris Columbus is attached to direct, which seems specifically designed to infuriate nerds like me. I know everyone’s watching Home Alone this time of year, but that guy’s not good!

I’ve been drawing the end of the A.I. bubble for a while, and now even economists (opinion with hints of math, not a science) are starting to notice something’s fishy with all the financial schemes used to prop up this technology no one but the managerial class wants.

There’s some other gags in here about stuff in the news, but if you’ve managed to go this long without learning the details of the Nuzzi-RFK Jr.-Lizza triangle of sadness, I don’t want to end your blissful ignorance.

Elon Musk’s Suck-cess Seminar

Elon Musk’s preferred candidate in a Wisconsin Supreme Court election ate shit on Tuesday, and even oblivious people are starting to notice this guy sucks. Unfortunately it took the complete collapse of the federal government, the economy, and the international order for those ding-dongs to notice.

Meet the Coup Kids

All the times I’ve complained about gerontocracy are moot now that Elon Musk’s unelected DOGE babies are effectively in control of the country. Sure, their actions are technically illegal, but no one is going enforce the laws that say that, so here we are.

One of them was forced to resign today for being too racist, which is quite the accomplishment with this administration. He could also face being grounded for two, maybe three weeks tops.

The Plutocrats

Oligarchs, plutocrats, whatever you want to call them, they’re all breaking their necks to be the first to lick Trump’s boots before he’s even sworn in for the second time. Something really is wrong with billionaire brains because they’re the one class that doesn’t have to think or worry about the guy at all. They’re gonna be fine!

They’re each uniquely awful in their own ways, but Zuckerberg’s latest move to explicitly throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus might be the most craven. He’s so convinced people won’t leave his platforms that he’s copying what Elon Musk did to Twitter and not expecting half its userbase to leave.

Maybe there are enough people addicted to Facebook and Instagram for that to succeed, but I won’t be posting anything there besides links that no one sees anyway.

C.E.O. Safety with Big Business Brain

It’s been almost two years since we last visited this guy. I’ll preface this with the obvious statement that murder is bad. However, sympathy is not mandatory and there a thousands more victims higher on my empathy list than some guy who got rich by denying people health care.

The same people who shrugged after Sandy Hook and a coup are now concerned that our nation’s decades old gun and domestic terrorism epidemics could affect them. This will probably lead to even more bloated police budgets, when their jobs continue to be done by snitches at McDonald’s.
