Here’s a thread of some good stuff I found on the internet recently, starting with Louie Zong’s latest, “a song about perception?? and messing around with content aware scaling lmao” https://youtu.be/D9JKCoj8BJc

404 Media is doing a great job at getting tech companies to moderate bad actors on their platforms, impressive for such a small indie publication. Their reporting directly led to action at two major tech companies this week: Discord shut down the Spy Pet search engine that sold access to user messages. https://www.404media.co/discord-shuts-down-spy-pet-bots-that-scraped-sold-user-messages/
And Apple removed multiple AI “nudify” apps from the App Store.

How Comics Were Made is a visual history of printing cartoons currently funding on Kickstarter, 76% to the goal with under 70 hours to hit it. [@glennf](https://twit.social/@glennf) exhaustively researched this 288-page full-color book for years, interviewing dozens of mainstream and alternative cartoonists, and I really hope it gets made. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glennf/how-comics-were-made/
