A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

Yesterday Chancellor Kamar Samuels said he plans to start beta testing AI in our schools. @nycdoe.bsky.social, our kids are not your guinea pigs to experiment on. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov Mayor Mamdani, we need a moratorium NOW. @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social @gregpak.net

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

There's a certain kind of teen girl, usually dismissed as "insolent," who knows from jump that the way her world is treating her is more the world's problem than hers. I'll always appreciate Marjane Satrapi for giving that girl a strong voice. www.lemonde.fr/en/obituarie...

IT'S AMINA AL-SIRAFI DAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! ⛵️⚔️✨️

To the west of Ireland for a #painting now. "Rosmuc" is a scene I first drew on location when I was 14 and would look at it every day during a memorable summer in the Gaeltacht where the far ridge of Cnoc Mordáin was a friend. Decades later I returned so I could paint it. #art #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

A #painting for you from the southwest of Ireland now. "Youghal, Main Street" came out of a visit to the east Cork town where I got to enjoy nice food, nice beer, and nice rain, before cycling in the sun on a perfect green sky day. #Art #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

I have done almost no publicity for my own work in a bit on account of *recalls the past few months* BUT I’m gonna pick it back up because they’re pretty good comics, and I hope more people enjoy them!

It exists! I interviewed backup dancers, producers, the costume designer, the song’s producers who granted the rights, and so many more who were involved: web.archive.org/web/20240227...

This is the only Odyssey adaptation that understands that the hero is an impulsive himbo who deserves his many ass whoopings. It is entirely believable that this Odysseus would get a bunch of his guys turned into pigs by a sexy witch.

Today is publication day for my book, Prestige Drama. It's a funny, angry book about Derry, memory and Troubles-scented television. I think it's quite good, however I can *confirm* that it's quite short. But don't take my word for how great it is, look at all these lovely people saying that.

Jesper Fahey, for @lbardugo’s Six of Crows: A Darker Shore! Head on over to Leigh’s page and peep the link in bio to preorder the short story and receive a poster featuring all six Crows ;).

IT'S MURDERBOT DAAAAAAAAAAAY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Platform Decay by Martha Wells is out now!

Starting with my favorite from a 1968 welfare rights march, Coretta Scott King stressed, “I must remind you that starving a child is violence….Punishing a mother & her family is violence….Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.”

“I am made to sound like an attachment to a vacuum cleaner,” CSK explained, “the wife of Martin, then the widow…all of which I was proud to be. But I was never just a wife, nor a widow. I was always more than a label.” So every day for the next year, I’m going to post a quote or fact about her.

Today would be Coretta Scott King’s 99th birthday. CSK was a lifelong freedom fighter & more of an activist than MLK when they met. As a student she’d supported the Progressive Party’s 3rd party challenge for president opposing US militarism, racism & economic inequality. We need to know her.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

been completely glued to the Artemis II coverage all week, I love space

My latest is a reflection on the cycle of dread, disaster, and temporary reprieves we’re all navigating, what that cycle is doing to us, and how we can avoid losing ourselves to it. This edition also includes a roundup of must-read pieces that have helped me think about this moment.

AOC reiterated that the call for Trump to be impeached or removed from office remains as urgent as ever after his genocidal threat toward Iran, regardless of the president’s announcement of a temporary ceasefire on Tuesday evening. AOC said the deal “changes nothing.”

"What Iranians deserve is so ordinary is almost embarrassing to say aloud. They deserve not to spend their mornings calculating whether they will survive until evening. They deserve to be seen as people... not as acceptable losses, not as the unfortunate human context around a geopolitical problem."

The question I want answered by every member of the Senate and the House is "what did you do in the last 8 hours?" That's it. I don't need spin, I sure as hell don't need a story. I just want a list. What the fuck did you do today?
