RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Never been more excited for a new LLM to drop in my life.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

It's a great series, too! Go get 'em!

Voters have shown they will back someone they don’t entirely agree with if they believe that person has a clear vision. Rather than calculating to what you think people want to hear in order to get elected, let voters choose you because your vision is more clear and leads to better outcomes.

I think my biggest takeaway from the Klein/Coates discussion is that Klein seems unable to see or accept that the politics of triangulation are directly responsible for many of the losses the American left have seen in the last 20 years. Returning to that strategy will make things worse, not better.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

🌟Shortlisted for the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction🌟 Margaret Killjoy’s beautifully imagined coming-of-age fantasy explores acceptance, community, gender, power, & resistance through the story of a young trans protagonist who, with her coven, faces an unnerving threat to the natural world.

The left overwhelmingly has condemned the killing of Kirk and offered condolences to his family in this terrible time. The right has declared “war” and demanded revenge before we even have a suspect in custody.

What a great cover!

We will never forget you, Dreamcast-san.

I understand MAGA is insisting the signature isn't Trump's but the WSJ piece nicely shows how the signature matches other letters he signed.

Well, if anything, maybe this will finally kill the myth of the 'poor man's copyright' going forward.

One of the points of confusion that I am seeing in the Anthropic AI case is that people are confusing statutory damages with damages in general, so here's a brief explainer on what is meant by statutory damages.

Anthropic Judge Rejects $1.5 Billion AI Copyright Settlement (1) The federal judge overseeing Anthropic PBC’s proposed $1.5 billion copyright settlement is concerned class lawyers are striking a deal behind the scenes that will be forced “down the throat of authors...

Wow!!! Major news!!! The judge in the Anthropic AI case is "concerned class lawyers are striking a deal behind the scenes that will be forced 'down the throat of authors.'"

This is what myself and many other authors were saying about the settlement. 1/

“We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a lot wage job. Rather than stand idly by while out constitutional freedoms are lost, i dissent.” —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

My God. Chills.

all those years of rw commentators complaining about cancellation, and here we are.

what they disliked was being challenged or criticized for their views. this, by contrast, is a system where academics are being sanctioned for saying something that disagrees with the president. slow clap

The Rosegarden CLUB? He turned the People's House into a private CLUB?

He literally privatized a public good. He stole our house.

Do you understand? This is no different than if he seized the Grand Canyon & put it behind a velvet rope, for members only.

He's a fucking thief & a vandal to boot.

Screw the NYT. Glad to see the State Newsroom stepping in to fill a void in our state.

I ended up testing negative yesterday and have turned the corner on feeling better, but have been down since Tuesday night. Just today starting to feel like myself. I hope you feel better soon! It was great to meet you briefly at the con!

Impish cartoon self-portrait of the artist, a fellow with sticky-up hair and round glasses, shouts at you: You NEVER NEED TO FOLLOW ME BACK!!! I want to follow your posts, not insinuate myself into your life! BUT IF YOU DO FOLLOW BACK AND WE DEVELOP A NICE RAPPORT OVER TIME, THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY CHILL.

I can’t stand the phrase “history repeats itself”. History has no agency. People do.

People repeat history. Because they choose to. And not always out of ignorance.
