The fuckers got away with it. The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them. They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

Just for context, it was an international scandal when YouTube erased documentation of Syrian government war crimes. Now it's just the Intercept and tech outlets who care. apnews.com/article/d9f1...

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Most folks who spell my name right on the first try cite growing up with these novels as the reason "Alanna, like the knight!" 🥹 thanks @tamorapierce.bsky.social 🫶🏾 I sadly didn't get to grow up with them (didn't know the series until a few yrs ago). Get a young person this book for me alright 😁🧡

Hey sweet thang, This is your reminder that every living thing in the world slows down during these next months. You’re not lazy cuz you’re doing less. It’s okay that the early darkness makes you tired (it’s supposed to). Humans the only ones who keep fighting against the natural patterns of life.

The Next Chapter Begins. The past few months have been about helping Tammy find her rhythm again at a gentler, steadier pace that lets her focus on her health, her writing, and the joy of creating. Through it all, your patience and kindness has meant the world to us

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Reminded of Gisèle Pelicot in France asserting "shame must change sides."

“LOL look at this—“ “I wanted to try out Chat GPT to—“ “Look at how realistic this creepy thing—“ “Its just a funny video—“ “I know its AI but—“ No. Many of us have said/done this innocently before or without thinking so I issue no judgement here. But the ones that know it & do it on purpose tho…

Spreading it normalizes it and thats the last thing that we as a people and as a society want to do, knowing and understanding the full and broader repercussions of it.

Stop sharing AI slop. It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays. But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

Please, if I have shared AI stuff is because I didn't realise, so just let me know and will delete post/correct. In fact, I appreciate anybody telling me! Sometimes it's very obvious but we can all be duped.

Didn’t folks say “identity politics” was the reason we weren’t winning

When people keep saying that free buses in NYC aren't possible, send them this. I had to cast my phone to a screen in the BARBERSHOP because folks ain't know lol

In books: From her roots in southern Louisiana to her years pounding the pavement in Harlem as an organizer for the Communist Party to her reignition of the modern reparations movement, Audley “Queen Mother” Moore’s story offers potent lessons for today’s organizers.

I just started thinking “what would I do if I had to write this movie?” and I started thinking about the great films powered by a diva character, and which of them would provide the right dramatic template for a 2020s Miss Piggy film, and I landed on the funniest possible answer: TÁR

In 2021, we published a series of portraits and interviews with people shot in the eye during the George Floyd protests. One of them, Soren Stevenson, just won his race for Minneapolis City Council.

Today marks 2 years since A LIGHT MOST HATEFUL said "run from that small town, girl, they're going to kill you" Normally I don't post 2-year marks for my books, but I just found out this one has earned out on its advance! 🎉🎉 so an ENORMOUS THANK YOU to everyone who's chosen to escape Chapel Hill ⚡

I am still thinking about A GAME IN YELLOW by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social like damn, it has been 2 months since I finished and I fear I have been marked by the Yellow Sign...

Reminder.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate. Democrats flipped two GOP-held Senate seats and one House seat in the special elections. buff.ly/nTvLlFI

When people say that I always wanna be like "what do you mean by abuse here? Do you mean eating something that isn't gruel fit to kill a Victorian era child? Do you mean some people who use SNAP aren't utterly destitute?" Like wtf does abuse even mean in a scenario where you qualify for SNAP???

as someone who was on SNAP four times let me tell you it would be *phenomenally hard* to exploit, they put *a lot of effort* into giving you *as little as possible* and are horrendously understaffed if someone has managed to abuse the system they are Danny Ocean and you should respect the hustle

Next week me, @carolaborelli.bsky.social, Rebecca Nalty and @beccasee.bsky.social give Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, Dr. Zarkov and Queen Azura the Hammer Horror treatment in "The Witch of Mongo Manor," one of the three thrilling tales in FLASH GORDON QUARTERLY #5!
