DC statehood now.

In "Fish: a tap essay", Robin Sloan writes about how one way to show love on the internet, as opposed to just “liking,” is by revisiting things. I just returned to one of my fav spots in DC: Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. Saw egrets, herons, osprey, and many lotuses. 🪷 www.robinsloan.com/fish/

I just returned to one of my fav spots in DC: Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. Saw egrets, herons, osprey, and many lotuses. 🪷 In a @newpublic.org fav, "Fish: a tap essay", Robin Sloan writes: “to love is to return.” What (IRL or online) do you love to return to? www.robinsloan.com/fish/

James Gunn seems to have learned a lesson from the Raimi Spider-Man movies: show regular people reacting to disaster and the emotions of the danger hit so much harder. I keep thinking about that woman holding her turtle.

New comic! What if you were cast to reprise the role of a legendary performance in a shaky prequel movie?? 🎬 www.joshkramercomics.com/comics#/preq...

It's frustrating that ANC meetings are so long, and the minutes are approved months later. However, new AI tools make it much easier to stay on top of what's happening in these meetings. I took the YouTube transcript and meeting agenda and created a summary: docs.google.com/.../1TIF.../....

join an org in your neighborhood to combat despair. bring someone some food. make some art about your pain. distraction doesnt work forever, okay?

AI has been able to generate Celery Man and Oyster without any issues, but so far it refuses to show me a nude Tayne

Amazing thread

"We must have fast, frequent, reliable, and dignified transit from east of the river to downtown through the H Street and Benning Road corridor." Hell yes

There's something about the idea of two billionaires sniping at each other from, as the NYT put it, "their own social media platforms" -- that is, the platforms they each own -- that encapsulates something deeply deeply off about the current era

You can enjoy Mountainhead without a deep dive into the tech world its enmeshed in, but there’s a lot of fun stuff to unpack. So let’s dive! Also, I offer my guesses for who everyone is supposed to be in real life.

Yes, there's so much to learn from Mon Mothma

Is google cal using AI? It interpreted a receipt from my library, which included a book titled "Southwest road trip : drive the loop from Las Vegas to Santa Fe, visiting 8 national parks along the way" as a new calendar event called "Train to Santa Fe" complete w/ a fake departure and arrival time

Good news. Comics creator Rebecca Burke has finally been released by ICE after two horrific weeks in one of their gulags and is on a flight back to the UK. Don't come here. Not for awhile, maybe years and years.

Today’s the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday— a pivotal point in the Selma movement for Black Americans’ freedom rights, directly resulting in the necessary pressure for passage of the Voting Rights Act, crippled by SCOTUS in 2013. There’s a straight line from that decision to today’s hell. 1/x

We’re an R&D lab focused on reimagining social media, and we’re hiring! We are looking for all kinds of specialists, including researchers, team leaders, and culture-building experts. Your time is now: newpublic.org/jobs

Threads obv sucks, but the ability to edit for the first 15 minutes after you post is really great and should be adopted on every platform. (If you're worried about a bait and switch, adding "(edited)" after is totally fine)

some of these guys stripping our government for spare parts should be strapped down and made to watch The G Word — @adamconover.net's excellent Netflix doc from a couple years ago. ... don't tell them Obama had something to do with it

Ok so one problem is that "Who knows, maybe we will create some NICE NEW LAW!!!" ... Is really funny

Pretty!

What happens when your graphic novel project, years in the making, goes nowhere? If you’re me, you ignore it for a couple years and then remix it into something new, radically different, and much better

there's a guy on our local Nextdoor that just comments "I know that guy, he's my web designer" on every photo of a spider that gets posted. he is the only person using social media correctly

Been watching. Wow! Better than I expected, honestly

Lost Cities: architecture in comic book art. This one is a little different. I really like it when comic book artist take separate locations and combine them into a coherent "space" unified by a shared perspective grid.
