I demand perfect real world accuracy in my comics and nothing less! He should have listed the pros and cons of being a frog including statistics about time running from predators, a full list of predators, life span, climate issues, etc. With citations of course.
I was able to track it down to there but the content looked to varied for him to be the author of the comic. But I will take it on your word to put it in the header. Thanks.

Mr. Putin shifted Sergei Shoigu to run the security council, and nominated an economist to run the defense ministry.
The flow of grain ships through ports in the Odesa region is a welcome boost for Ukraine’s war-ravaged economy. But analysts warn it may not last.
" I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form."
While attention has focused on the military aspects of the new US aid package for Ukraine, the bill also includes an important step toward holding Russia financially accountable for the invasion, writes Kira Rudik.

Seems to project weakness more than strength when the world's second nuclear power isn't even sure if it's ICBMs work.
All that runnin' around has gotta get tiring after a while though, no?
I've worked in pretty much every CEE country and usually many cities in each of them the last 24 years and really can't say I ever felt unwelcome, even in places you'd think might be less welcoming like smaller cities in Russia. There are certainly places that are easier to get around but I really can't say I've ever felt truly unsafe or unwelcome even when making questionable decisions. Of course shitty individuals exist anywhere, but I can't say I've run into more here than I have in the states.
That's when they send the mind control sound. If you don't destroy all the speakers by then, you will be under their control.
Instructions seem quite clear- pierce your speaker with a toothpick.

Is Garfunkel the bridge and Simon the troubled water?
Until his profile gets high enough that they find some permit he doesn't have and he gets shut down.
I was working tech in the Bay Area in the '90s, I remember it well.
Probably you are right, but so far no one has demonstrated any LLM that can be controlled within these tight types of adjustments and it feels like it might be something that the technology just never is able to do. We might have to wait for a whole new generation of technology for this.
It will be really interesting to see how long it actually takes before this can be done accurately enough to execute a directors vision and high quality enough to actually make a film from. It could be anything from a few months to decades, it's so hard to know how much we are actually able to control these models to get them to do what we really want accurately enough.

Google’s new video generation AI model Lumiere uses a new diffusion model called Space-Time-U-Net, or STUNet, that figures out where things are in a video (space) and how they simultaneously move and change (time). Ars Technica reports this method lets Lumiere create the video in one process instead of putting smaller still frames together.
Lumiere starts with creating a base frame from the prompt. Then, it uses the STUNet framework to begin approximating where objects within that frame will move to create more frames that flow into each other, creating the appearance of seamless motion. Lumiere also generates 80 frames compared to 25 frames from Stable Video Diffusion.
Beyond text-to-video generation, Lumiere will also allow for image-to-video generation, stylized generation, which lets users make videos in a specific style, cinemagraphs that animate only a portion of a video, and inpainting to mask out an area of the video to change the color or pattern.
Google’s Lumiere paper, though, noted that “there is a risk of misuse for creating fake or harmful content with our technology, and we believe that it is crucial to develop and apply tools for detecting biases and malicious use cases to ensure a safe and fair use.” The paper’s authors didn’t explain how this can be achieved.
