Gonna continue this train and talk about another black creator that means a lot to me. Dwayne McDuffie. One of the founders of Milestone comics which was the first comic book universe that featured black and POC characters and of course Static Shock. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_...

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension. Public pressure works. If enough people speak up, a life may be saved. Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

We love it when people get yelled at

Adobe is not really in the creative software business anymore. They are in the digital wealth extraction business. I wish more comics publishers would prioritize moving away from Adobe.

I keep seeing the “reminder don’t use Adobe here are the alternatives” image going around and folks, the problem is not just that Adobe sucks, the problem is they’re blocking legal access to decades of art files utilized by individuals and entire teams

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

"But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case."

Alt text for an important OP: blackpressusa: Don Lemon, Trahem Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy were arrested by Federal agents in connection to covering the protest that took place in a church in Minneapolis. They are having their rights violated. (Instagram post with headshots.)

Hey if you live in the greater Seattle area and you approve of Mayor Wilson's plan to ban ICE from using city property, vote Yes in the Komo poll. It's being flooded by right-wing bots. komonews.com/news/local/s...

EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW

When I was translating Kon Satoshi, in order to understand him better I spent time reading his personal blog. I'll never forget him writing "They say what Aronofsky is doing is an "homage." I know my English isn't great, but I don't understand the difference between "homage" and being "ripped off."

While analyzing our 2025 submission data, I noticed that the US is now the primary producer of slop submissions (which includes fully and partially-generated/assisted/whatever). Congrats. You're #1. Happy? You should be embarrassed. Please stop. (In 2023 and 2024, the US wasn't in the top three.)

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

Forty years after the Challenger disaster, engineers who fought to stop the launch still grapple with the guilt of "what if." The tragedy remains a definitive lesson in the danger of prioritizing management goals over engineering truths and the fatal cost of silencing dissenting voices.

It's the end of the month. Lots of folks haven't been able to work all month because of ICE. They will be evicted in a few days. @governorwalz.mn.gov could stop this right now.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

There's something so insane about the fact that the app stores will, to the best of their ability, prevent you from accessing consensual pornography while letting pornography that is, by default, nonconsensual pass with a shrug

Hi everyone just want to clarify- the REAL Blinkmoon reached out to me about the scam. Blinkmoon is a real studio, but the scammers are using their website as cover. They are not currently hiring at the moment. They were kind about things and put up a warning on their website about the scam.

this is completely insane and more people need to say that doing this is completely insane

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

The largest Trump superPAC donor so far this cycle is the president of OpenAI

These three stories were all published this week. Abolishing ICE is a reproductive justice issue

Resharing commission of SpiderPunk vs a bunch of worthless spineless fascists

Reminder that MULTIPLE "manosphere" commentators were exposed as directly taking payment from Putin, and nobody ever did anything about it. They still have their channels, still have their audiences.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

NIH gave genetic data to a BUSINESS prof??

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

Amazon doubling down on AI dubs despite taking steps to quietly pull the ones people noticed is pretty darn fucked animecorner.me/amazon-doubl...

If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.

Venezuelan family seeking asylum -- entered legally, both parents with college degrees -- took their 7-year-old to the ER for a nosebleed and fever. ICE, which is now targeting hospitals as well as churches schools, blocked the child from getting care and detained them instead

This needs to be all over every tech and news publication NOW. TikTok under the Oracle and Ellison is now a tool of the fascist Republican Party to target immigrants, transgender people, and other groups.

Damaging the habitability and biodiversity of the Earth without proven public necessity should basically be one of the highest crimes imaginable.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

HELLLLLLLLYAH

I could really use an HxH update about now y'all

The White House posted an edited photo of the activist involved in the Minneapolis church protest, made to look like she was crying.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Delicious to me

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

great point by bestie @teastainss.bsky.social in this article on banning AI at comic-con: with corporations, politicians, institutions: ALWAYS BE ANNOYING. At best they gravitate towards doing nothing and continue to do nothing until a fire is lit under their asses www.404media.co/comic-con-ba...

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.
