🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

I think they're talking all the money away, to be honest.

I'm sorry for your loss.

NPCs: a pilot reading "The workaday residents of a small fantasy town finally get their due in this new comedy about the side characters in an epic quest!"A live table-read of NPCs, an original pilot written by Riley Silve...

I'm pleased to announce that @doonpook.bsky.social and I will be debuting our brand new pilot script, NPCs, as a table-read at the Joy Who Lived festival on April 12th!

The tavern is for tourists, and the "side quests" are their entire lives.

It's you I like,
It's not the things you wear,
It's not the way you do your hair
But it's you I like
The way you are right now,
The way down deep inside you
Not the things that hide you,
Not your toys
They're just beside you.
But it's you I like

Imagine having one of our best living actors respond to you winning an award their presenting this way. A small, sweet moment. Good for Michael B. Jordan.

Took me a minute 😂

This is beyond cruel and unusual punishment.

Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to know him well enough to call him a friend. But he was a wonderful collaborator.

I should add that sympathy should be directed to Jacopo's friends and family. We were collaborators on this book, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to know him outside of our work together 💔

In shock over this news. Generation X-23 #1 only came out a few days ago. Jacopo and I just created these new kids together.

I knew he'd been having health issues, but had no idea how serious they were. I'd hoped we would work together again when he was doing better 💔

We're now stuck at just over $13,000 — which feels very unlucky!

Please get us past $14K soon so we can all bask in good fortune <3

I hate asking for help again. But I just received a $1300 bill for the anesthesia from my surgery last year, which is on top of being shy on my rent tomorrow. If anyone has got anything to spare… I would really appreciate some help.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

So crazy that this is happening before Congress votes on the war powers resolution next week.

Wagging that dog, huh?

Interesting thread. A lot of our market-liberal assumptions (e.g. “voting with your wallet”) may be irrelevant in the billionaire era. The Washington Post doesn’t have to be a successful newspaper, CBS doesn’t have to make TV that people like, if the owners are willing to shrug and keep them going.

A senior CBS News staffer expressed sympathy for employees at CNN who are frustrated and upset over the Paramount news. "I need to keep reminding myself it can - and will - always get worse," the staffer told me, adding that CNN staffers "should" be freaking out since "it's hell over here."

I wish I could take credit!

SURPRISE! IT IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!

@susanlbridges.bsky.social and i wrote this very trans, queer YA romcom graphic novel that’s out in august

it’s funny, it’s sweet, it’s about learning to love what makes us different

YOU ARE GONNA LOVE THESE GOOFY TEENS

The first elected Dem in history to understand how Trump operates (memes, vibes, kayfabe, projecting a fantasy image until it becomes reality) and to manipulate him the way his own White House staff do

entirely unimprovable execution by the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social social team

Why I love the term Clicktatorship.

If a trans person were caught jaywalking Republicans would be ranting about it every chance they got, meanwhile a trans person JUMPED INTO LAKE MICHIGAN IN THE WINTER AND RESCUED A STRANGER’S BABY and it’s crickets.
