the more companies are able to push workers behind closed doors or far-away screens the easier they are to abuse. and the less likely customers will see their struggle aligned with the struggle of said workers.
God this shit is so ugly, just so, so ugly
It’s just a rendering for now—they haven’t had a final vote to approve the design yet as far as I know.
One of my personal litmus tests for emerging politicians is how good is their team? Are the communications tight and unified? No scandals? No weirdos with baggage on the team? Everyone competent, proactive and on message? That speaks volumes about how a politician will actually perform in office.
GLAAD MEDIA AWARD WINNER: OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK Avengers Academy: Marvel’s Voices By Anthony Oliveira, Elsa Sjunneson, Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, Pablo Collar, Charles Stewart III, Alti Firmansyah, Minkyu Jung, KJ Díaz, Ruth Redmond, Dono Sánchez-Almara, Ariana Maher, Joe Caramagna (Marvel Infinity Comics)
I am so thankful for the gift of this recognition on behalf of myself and all of the crew on Avengers Academy. We strove week after week to make art worthy of our community – to deepen and enrich the world for queer, trans, and HIV+ representation and readership, to insist we belonged in these worlds of fiction and in the world that dreams them. We wanted both to illuminate queer stories told long ago and to trailblaze new paths forward. It was not always easy, but it was always worth it. I am so proud of this work, and so honoured to have it so celebrated. Thank you. Thank you to all the impossibly gifted collaborators on this project for all your brilliance, enthusiasm, and generosity: our regular artists Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, and Pablo Collar; our colorists KJ Diaz and Ruth Redmond; our letterists Ariana Maher and Joe Caramagna; as well as our numerous guest talents – who enriched this book week after week with their gifts and perspectives. Thanks too to our editors, Lindsey Cohick, Sidney Stubbs, Wil Moss, and founding editor and Sarah Brunstad who willed this book into life. Time and again this book redefined what could happen, how it could look and read, and above all who could be in a superhero comic, and I could not be prouder. And, with great admiration and profoundest appreciation, thank you to my community, for always lifting me up. Finding all of you has been the great gift of my life. This category is full of the fellow artists who showed me there was a place for us to create and to live in this world, and I live in the enduring blessing of their work. I said it when we ended, and I will say it here again: comics will mend your heart, if you let them. When I was a scared, lonely, closeted kid, the Marvel universe’s heroes were there for me when very little else was. That is a debt I can never pay back, but one I’ve tried with great travail to pay forward. I want to believe we have afforded a little of that same refuge to those who soug…
Amazed and honoured that AVENGERS ACADEMY has won the GLAAD Media Award for OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK!
This book pushed every boundary in this industry, and I am so grateful for the gift of these talented collaborators and this generous, uplifting community of readers. deadline.com/2026/03/glaa...
Like, get back to me when you can drive a chariot and play the qin.
Not one of these fuckers has mastered the Six Arts and it shows.
Seriously though, if you or someone you know is hiring in the greater Boston area (or remote), I’m looking for work in such soft-handed fields as copyediting, administration and/or lab management, and volunteer management.
Anyone who is not yet a soft-handed scribe wants that life for themselves or their children. Go be “manly” in the fields or the factories and open up that email job for someone who will appreciate it!
(It me. I will take your email job. I am unsuited to any life but that of the soft-handed scribe.)
And even Gorsuch grew up Catholic—including fancy Jesuit prep school
its crazy how all the critical replies to this orwellian bill are hidden
I don’t drive either, but unfortunately dinosaur juice get food to store and I do like to eat a couple times a day
I keep catching Basil standing on her hind legs and using her front paws to manipulate objects. I’m starting to worry a little bit.
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
Ugh, probably. I didn’t even mean it like that though! I’ve been a copy editor for a decade—reading and writing and being sensitive to authorial voice is literally my job and it would be weird for me not to be better at it than a statistical model!
And good for these guys for not being egotists who will look the other way for money
Hah! I’d missed the Axel news and I can’t say I’m sad to hear it—he runs a toxic lab and I worked for a trainee of his who thought he *didn’t* run a toxic lab because he could always point to a way Axel was worse. And I didn’t get to be a scientist because of it. So fuck him.
trans is an advanced class, like druid in 1E; you have to have have a certain number of levels in gay first and then defeat the Keeper of the Grove.
My mom wasnt scared i was a trans guy, because she'd never heard of them.
She did, however, police my appearance to make sure i didnt "look like a lesbian."
Once i came out as trans, she backpedaled and told me "but there are all sorts of ways to be a woman!"
Also, autonomy? It’s their kids’ bodies!
The irritating thing about boy kibble is that what they've actually made here is boy wet food, and I'm concerned that we're no longer educating our children to know the difference.
And beware the deal-making fairies! A pole full of good advice
For my newsletter this week, I wrote about why corrupt news betting sites like Kalshi and Polymarket should be illegal: www.burnsnotice.com/the-iran-war...
Surely we have one of those hanging around.
I own the 7th largest Hyundai dealership in the Tampa St. Pete area and here’s why Reza Pahlavi is the legitimate ruler of Iran
A casual, “I’ve tried it for some writing and editing tasks, but the results never sound like me, and by the time I’ve tweaked them, I haven’t really saved any time,” raises more objections than my gut reaction of, “Instead of stealing, I use natural intelligence because I have a fucking brain.”
I have tried to stop arguing with people irl about using AI, but it turns out my deflections are better at starting arguments than actually voicing objections to genAI usage.
One of the crimes of AI has been the destruction of the beautiful "my nephew made this logo for me on his computer!" energy from all the hyper-local plumbers and taco shops. AI slop on white work vans is a crime against humanity.
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
