Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.” You can’t trust chatbots.

Thank you for being part of our twelfth anniversary, Mr. Mayor! It was an honor to have you officiate our marriage.

Trying a project where I draw as many objects at the Met as possible. Here is (most of) Room 300

I don’t usually campaign for awards, but this year I’ve decided to go for broke for a Fan Writer Hugo Award. Yay me! 1/

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

It’s wild that the B&N Book Con has no Black authors or Latine authors, which is so egregious given that they’ve announced the line-up during Black History Month & at a time when Latine people are being targeted, abused, & deported unlawfully. Mind you this is put on by the NYC flagship store.

ICE conducts daylight executions of civilians and uses children as bait, they are decades beyond reformable.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

It's official KOG is greenlit! Can't wait for you all to see what the team has been cooking up! #KnightsofGuinevere #KOG #Glitch #glitchproductions

There are ~90 million people alive today because of USAID. Russ Vought illegally shut it down and now is spending the money on himself. These are deeply evil people. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back. Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

I am, no lie, still in disbelief AND it took me almost a full 12 hours to tell my husband and friends this happened. I'm on a list with giants of romance. WHAT.

Our annual Day of Remembrance rally outside the Northwest Detention Center will be on Feb 21 at 1pm. For years, Japanese Americans have been saying Abolish ICE, no more U.S. concentration camps, and let no politician give empty platitudes on DOR while imprisoning and deporting our neighbors

itch.io/b/3484/no-ic... The NO ICE IN MINNESOTA bundle is up. There's a lifetime's worth of good games in this! If you submitted something or just want to shout something out, reply here and let's reshare it and spread the word on this thing.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Authors Alix E. Harrow, Olivie Blake, and more raise concerns about BookCon 2026

I always say the Venn Diagram for publishing and television is a perfect circle: Stories for kids don’t have value. Stories for adults are what matters. Makes me ill.

"Taiwanese Medtech Company Taidoc Fires Union Leaders, Steps Up Union Crackdown" by @ginollopez.bsky.social

if i know discord for anything is that they can and will pussy out if people bully them enough for something. get fucking loud about this

DinoCon with a more prompt response to academics complicit in sexual abuse than uh, the entirety of academia.

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

“I’m telling you this because right now, Hachette’s website is all about book bans: how wrong they are, and how readers like you can (and must) do your part to stop them.” @jaywillis.net on the hypocrisy of Hachette publishing noted book banner Sam Alito’s new book: open.substack.com/pub/ballsand...

We're highlighting reporting from @inthesetimes.com on the recent abduction of worker organizer and NewsGuild-CWA member, Eustaquio Orozco Verdusco. We ask that you please sign the petition demanding his release: actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...

It is VERY important to get your electeds to publish state "abolish" as it moves the needle of what will be a midterm platform point. If you want Dems to abolish when they have legislative levers, it has to be publicly acceptable discourse RIGHT NOW.

Giving this a little bump. Free paperback of a queer YA dystopian romance! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured” www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Kinda feels important to know that ReedPOP's parent company has ties to ICE. There's some things we can do in the comics community to make our voices heard. 1/3 Open letter from BookCon authors: reactormag.com/authors-open... Check the RELX, LexisNexis, and ReedPOP ties yourself: www.relx.com

It is frustrating that the NYT profiled that AI grifter when Romance is such a load-bearing corner of publishing. You wouldn’t do that unless you actively hate books and the entire cultural apparatus around them.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION THIS STORY THIS WOMAN SHOULD NOT BE ROTTING IN A PRISON CAMP (no one should be)

“We are deprived of the most basic necessities of life. What we are living is not a human life.” Rubble, open sewage, damaged wells & lack of electricity pose dangers, as Israel blocks equipment needed to rebuild from genocide, reports Esraa Abo Qamar in this dispatch from Palestine.

why u mad

now that's the power of a union
