People are more important than intellectual property. Hope that the organizers/supporters spend some time reflecting on (and possibly adjusting) their goals.

If you think Graham Platner was such a masculine guy, he'd be man enough to admit he knew he had a Nazi tattoo instead of acting like a third-grade kid who blames the dog for eating his homework.

‘Farage whistles and his dogs come running to riot: the desecration of the memory of Henry Nowak’ Farage is a dangerous man who know exactly what he’s doing with his words. He is unleashing racial hatred and violence. If he ever takes power he’ll lead Britain to hell In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Fourteen years ago, I edited a video essay for Roger Ebert on PERSEPOLIS. I knew I had seen a masterpiece that would stand the test of time and could be received by anyone with a soul. It was on YT for a while but got blocked. For Marjane Satrapi and Iran. RIP. flipcritic.au/2026/06/04/p...

I read Persepolis in high school; we had one copy in the library. At the time, it blew me away that you could make comics with so much heart like this, about memory, displacement, conflict, etc. I've read and watched the movie plenty of times. Will forever be grateful for all Marjane Satrapi gave us

One day, Bernie will learn the difference between leftists who do the work like AOC and Mamdani and leftists who shout slogans while having literally no pre-political career record of doing things in service of the issues he allegedly cares about.

For many years, there were allegations that ICE would “release” critically ill people in hospitals so that their deaths wouldn’t be recorded as in ICE custody. To fix this, in 2021 the Biden admin required ICE to report deaths occurring up to 30 days after release. Now that rule has been dropped.

Persepolis is an important, life changing work, not merely of the most significant graphic novels but also one of the best animated films ever made. Marjane Satrapi’s passing is a huge shock and loss.

Marjane Satrapi

Very sad to hear of the passing of MARJANE SATRAPI. A lot of the 'graphic novels' produced since the format became popular, really are collections, not 'novels' at all. Persepolis was something special. A novel that lived in my mind long, long after I read it. A very sad loss.

Author and artist Marjane Satrapi has passed away. A close friend is quoted as saying that she had “died of sadness a little over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life”. bookedsolidinsantafe.wordpress.com/2026/06/04/r...

This is a must read. An interview worthy of the artist and hero we lost.

This is a tremendous tragedy. Marjane Satrapi's work remains so vital, so accessible, dark, funny, defiant, and educational. I'll never forget reading PERSEPOLIS and realizing I was getting a first-person window into an entire women's war I knew nothing about, one that was still being fought.

thank you for this thread! i had an off-the-cuff comic turned into a meme and it's such a weird feeling that my art is just being spread out there without any credit here's a version with my name on it, im fine with people using that one :)

What an artist. There can be few comics creators who have had a greater impact than Marjane Satrapi has.

I can scarcely believe it. Marjane Satrapi has died at just 56.
