The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.
it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that
Less than 12 weeks ago, EA was effectively purchased by Saudi Arabia and Donald Trump's son-in-law for $55B in a deal that saddled the company with around $20B in debt. 12 weeks. That's how long it took for them to shutter a decades-old studio in BioWare and deem people surplus to requirements.
In my most curmudgeonly moments, I don’t see why presenting the prose output of a machine built on mass theft as your own scholarly work should be evaluated less harshly than old school plagiarism. Traditional plagiarists at least had to identify and evaluate the works they were going to copy.

This essay argues that analytical writing should be judged by evidence, structure, argument, and accountability not by guesses about how each sentence was produced. https://chroni.cl/4eDRdjg

Was pretty weird watching the cops give Spidey a formal warning last week at #NYCC for 'unsafe climbing'. Can't remember how far the comics lag behind real life (@nicklowe.bsky.social?) but I'll be sad to read this issue!
I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.
Today is the birthday of Jerry Siegel, co-creator of Superman, who changed the pop culture landscape in a single bound. There wouldn't be a comic book business as we know it without him. We all stand on his shoulders.
Just been to see a film based on one of my favourite books, and absolutely astonished at how much of the source material they retained!
Cam Kennedy's birthday is the perfect opportunity to repost one of the all-time great two-page spreads from @2000ad.bsky.social. Supersurf 7 is go! Go! GO!

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.
Julie S. Lalonde@julieslalonde.bsky.social · 3w agoBeing GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.
Thought I'd stood beside Taika Waititi at a crossing in NYC. If it wasn't him it was someone with a great jacket. Same guy, same jacket, got on my flight home - 99% sure it was Actual Taika Waititi. Would have said hello but I lost my voice at around 3am at the Marvel party on Saturday night. #NYCC
Getting spooky 'round here, so I'm delighted to offer #1 of SCARENTHOOD (by me, @chrisohalloran.bsky.social and @robutoid.bsky.social), an Irish-set horror/comedy about paranormally-challenged parents for absolutely FREE! The book is FULLY creator-owned now, so grab it! ko-fi.com/s/2c445ddeb1

One of the comments on the announcement of LibreOffice 26.8 was a simple question: “So, no AI is now a feature?” LibreOffice does not reject artificial intelligence out of hand, but an office suite us...

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Does anyone know why they decided to make the first day of NYCC 72 hours long?
According to MIT News, Margaret Hamilton died at the age of 90. "A profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program". This famous photo 🔽 inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison.
