There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

Buyers: So your games... guns and football, yes? EA: Mmhmm, mmhmm, mostly guns and football, yep. Buyers: No gay stuff? No politics we're not going to like? EA: Haha, definitely not! Hey, could you give me one sec? I just need to shut down a studio real quick. kotaku.com/report-saudi...

Knights of Guinevere pilot kicks incredible amounts of ass because it's not only a beautifully animated cartoon for an adult audience, it's also clearly made with head splitting, blood-in-mouth, screaming fucking rage

If you haven't watched this yet, this is one of the most interesting pieces of media I've seen in a while. Intruiguing and I really hope they get to make a full run (it's on youtube)

Tip: a lot of things in the world right now are very very bad, but if you live in the Northern hemisphere and you wanna really lean into Autumn, you could do worse than baking this smittenkitchen.com/2016/10/pump... while listening to Neko Case's FOX CONFESSOR BRINGS THE FLOOD.

Me after reading the headline: I bet they were trying to unionize. The article: They were trying to unionize.

It is really funny that Jimmy Kimmel Live showed more moral fortitude and adherence to a system of values than Columbia University

We are obliged as thinking people to think, talk, work, act, and live as though none of tech's fascist dreams will come true because they won't, and that their thoughtkiller machines will fail because they will. I sincerely believe artists' lives are at stake and are being lost when we don't.

Paws up

A must-read 👇 The way the publishing industry prioritizes short term profits over long term sustainability is a train wreck in slow motion. It's baffling to me that industry execs don't get that investing in writers, being pro-labor, and nurturing a healthy literary ecosystem is good for business.

“Publishers, as McGrath says, have always been risk averse. But with higher pressure to find a sure thing, more writers who may have been able to sell a book five or ten years ago, whether to a corporate or an independent press, are being left out in the cold.” @tajjaisen.bsky.social @thewalrus.ca

Yesterday, Meta unveiled a new "feed" on its platforms that will exclusively feature AI-generated videos. This overshadowed another big announcement... On Tuesday, Meta launched a super new PAC geared towards electing politicians that will block any AI regulation. Hello?

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Morning walk

please enjoy this relic of the 90s i found in a drawer: a pokemon watch with a flip cover that i'd pasted a picture of my guinea pig on

A little emotional knowing this book is out in the world this week. Sure, some projects I immediately know the readership, editor, publisher, etc. But this one? I saw my kiddo, every step of the way. Thank you for this, @authormargeaux.bsky.social. www.bloomsbury.com/us/everythin...

Wow — Italy and Spain have now both officially announced they're sending military ships to support the Gaza aid flotilla

Consume Me is finally out! This game blew me away when I looked at it for IGF. It deals with the real pressures of growing up as a teenage girl while telling that story through a whirlwind of delightful QWOP-like minigames. It’s charming and fun and smart and I hope everyone checks it out.

Giorgia Meloni, Italy's PM, is a far right fascist who supports Israel, but the general strike Italians carried out 2 days ago scared the shit out of her. Strikes are the most effective way to get politicians to do what you want them to do. Shut down profit and they stand to attention.

back in 2020, i interviewed for a bookseller position and ended up spending half the interview listening to the bookstore owner lament getting in hot water because her (progressive) bookstore had scheduled a book signing for American Dirt 😬🫠

I will not link to it. I just want to reiterate that thousands of books have been banned by the right. And American Dirt sold millions of copies.

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

Now more than ever, we need to share the true stories of autistic and neurodivergent people who've made their marks on the world. So isn't it lucky that EVERYTHING BUT TYPICAL by @authormargeaux is out today? Get your copy ⤵️ https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/everything-but-typical-9781547614110

in a way aren't we all looking for more sink cheese where we found it yesterday

BREAKING: Israel has ordered shut the Allenby Crossing, the only gateway for three million Palestinians in the West Bank to the outside world, “until further notice,” in what appears to be a response to the wave of recognition of Palestine by UN member states including key European allies.

I wrote about PEN America's terribly misguided report on cancel culture, which they titled Booklash, when it came out in 2023. lithub.com/whats-wrong-...

This is unironically a lot worse than Jimmy Kimmel but you won't see 1/1000 of the outrage

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

This was SO good and I'm super excited to see more of this! Highly highly rec.

the cabbage merchant, hawking his wares in omashu:

As we boycott vile companies, a reminder that many US public libraries offer: 1) Ebooks & audiobooks via the Libby app. Pro tip: use the “notify me” tag to request your library add books by trans, disabled, & BIPOC authors! 2) TV & film streaming via Kanopy 3) Language learning via Mango 💙📚 And:

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

if you are in a professional or personal situation where you cannot fully divest yourself from something being rightly boycotted, you've got an easy out: shut the fuck up. no one asked. you're free. i'm not your priest.
