I think the coolest thing we do at The Verge is publish comics. This one is brilliant (and behind the scenes, an absolute beast of engineering)

If reading about college students using AI to cheat made you feel crazy, wait till you hear about where they get their news

Very cool that @kristenradtke.bsky.social won an Online Journalism Award for excellence in visual storytelling for her comic about motherhood and surveillance awards.journalists.org/entries/how-...

A terrific (and hilarious) feature from @miasato.bsky.social, with brilliant design from @kristenradtke.bsky.social and @macaree.bsky.social.

"Tell me about your TV garden and your synthesizer library," asks @theverge.com's @kristenradtke.bsky.social. And I am so glad @jessiechar.com & @maxy.bsky.social answered. www.theverge.com/tech/631922/...

Cartoonist R. E. Burke has been returned to the UK after three weeks of detention and international outrage

If a legal permanent resident can have his green card revoked for exercising his first amendment rights, there’s nothing to stop them from going after citizens, too.

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

The emotional entanglement of new motherhood and surveillance tech is movingly captured in this autobiographical comic. Hats off 🎩 to @kristenradtke.bsky.social and @theverge.com for creating this wonderful bit of internet storytelling!

to add to to this: I want journalists to know there are countless “content creators” using your reporting, misrepresenting it, erasing your existence & profiting from it. i found this podcast that literally PHOTOSHOPPED MY NAME OUT of my own fucking story. are we going to take this shit lying down?

Here it is, the longest piece of nonfiction I’ve ever written, CENTURY-SCALE STORAGE. The kind folks at @harvardlil.bsky.social let me investigate the present and future of digital storage, and how we steward and preserve our most treasured cultural objects lil.law.harvard.edu/century-scal...

I commented when this was first announced that this 'color of the year' feels like part of the boogie beigeification of the world so I really enjoyed this read.

This is a strong example of what can be done with digital comics when you're willing to push both form and content beyond what's been done before. The author, Kristen Radtke, is here on Bluesky at @kristenradtke.bsky.social. H/T @austinkleon.bsky.social for bringing it to my attention. 🙏

I went to Pantone's color of the year party and talked about thongs, God, aging, happy goats, and lots of luxury goods. Read all about this product-filled extravaganza in my report for @theverge.com: www.theverge.com/24316196/pan...

The art in this feature is so gorgeous I want to crawl inside my computer and live inside it: www.theverge.com/c/24300623/a...

Since the start of The Verge, we have published in-depth features and beautifully art-directed zines. Tomorrow, we pivot

This comic about becoming a mother & the anxieties (and tech) that comes with it by @kristenradtke.bsky.social in the @theverge.com is so beautifully done on all accounts—the art, the writing, the design.

Ever since The Nib ceased publication, I've been missing that quarterly does of thoughtful, deeply felt non-fiction comic storytelling. This, a story about baby monitors and also about parenting in an age of abundant data, hits that feeling perfectly www.theverge.com/c/24278723/c...

the verge continues to be the only place on the internet where I reliably see art that's this cool while still sticking to the core mission of the site: examining how tech makes us feel. props to Kristen and the team for putting this out!

In this digital comic, Kristen Radtke explores the history of baby tech — the tools and devices that allow parents to surveil their newborns.
