1. Last week, we revealed that the New York Post published a fake cover story claiming "thousands" of 9/11 families were trying to ban Mamdani from the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero. Instead of admitting its error, the Post quietly edited the article, adding even less credible info.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

ICYMI: my short story, "If a Discarded God Can Change, So Can I", is out now at @lightspeedmagazine.com!! it's got gender feels, giant robot birdwatching, and pondering who you are now after your toxic ex screwed over the whole planet. it's a quieter, more introspective piece and I'm proud of it 🥺💜

Chicago teen shares his experience in ICE detention centers: I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school in Chicago. I was in ICE detention for 2 months and 10 days. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. They never let us go outside.

For @liswelch.com, Cyberpunk 2077 never righted its transphobic wrongs — namely that "Mix It Up" ad from 2019. But the game's legacy in the trans community is complicated, and many see it as the transfictional world that helped them find who they are.

Mix It Up: Why Cyberpunk 2077 still hits for some trans people, despite its transphobia scandals

How could a game so entangled in scandals with the trans community simultaneously become dear enough to help shape who some of us are?
