Unfortunately I don't have a publisher in the UK yet and the way the system is set up, we can't provide it over there until I do. I'll let you know if that happens!

Rest In Peace, Jules Feiffer. Died just shy of his 96th birthday, but he was still as vital as ever, plugging away on his next book. The way 2025's been going, I'm not surprised we lost our greatest living cartoonist less than a month into it.

Any awards conversation that doesn't include #strangedarling is suspect at worst and ignorant at best. My boy @kylegallner.bsky.social was at his career best and Willa Fitgerald is a FORCE. Ahem.

I have a crazy idea.
What if, instead of gleefully and ghoulishly trying to use AI to rob human beings of their essential and innate creativity, ushering in a spiritual hellscape and widespread desert of the soul...
They use it to make video game enemies that don't suck ass?

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like
