The Verge laid off numerous gaming writers and an editor barely a week ago, and now has an article about how a writer used AI to generate his own copyright-infringing Nintendo games with detailed steps on how to do so. This isn't games journalism. This is slop and clickbait, top to bottom.

This is a sensible direction based on what has been going on. Digital learning still has its benefits but it’s been on a runaway train driven by greedy corporations and other stakeholders who need to be reined in.

I made this not to point out what an awful human being he is (& he is) but to address people like my MiL who somehow look at this & say yeah, that’s my man, that’s what I want in a leader.

A comics page in black and white. Arranged in 5 tiers of panels, each with successively smaller panels and more per row - with the exception of the first. Opens with no panel border - silhouette of a hand in a gun position - with smoke coming from index finger. speech balloon “i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn’t lose any voters, ok?” Caption “this is perhaps the most truthful thing trump has ever said…” Same row - more than half page width panel with three drawings of trump making jerky body distortions mocking cerebral palsy. Caption “one might’ve assumed when he mocked reporter serge kovaleski that it would cross a line and be the end of him in public life.” Speech balloon “now the poor guy, you ought to see this guy!” Caption “that was naive.” Next row, first panel, slightly more than page width - closeup on trump’s open mouth, shouting “when you’re a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy. you can do anything.” Caption “surely, there’d be no coming back from this?” Second panel - silhouettes of tiki torch carrying rioters with their shirt collars showing. Caption “or this?” Dialogue “you also had some very fine people on both sides.” Caption “and yet…” full alt text on my site

A stunning forensic account of how ignorance of vaccine efficacy was systematically manufactured. Steier exposes the anti-vaccine playbook: how flawed studies by discredited researchers created false doubt about vaccine safety, while 40+ rigorous studies of 5.6M+ people found no autism link.

As upset as I am that I keep getting this anti-union propaganda & that these people know where to find me - I’m equally disgusted that with all the money they spend to send this crap, they could actually do something positive to benefit education and our communities. The cruelty is the point…

New comic: on the origins of Due Process, how fundamental it is to our very notion of freedom, and how we all must stand up for the rights for any one of us to preserve liberty for all of us. Alt-text, notes/process & printable version on my site, appreciate sharing spinweaveandcut.com/due-process/

Alt-text: A comics page in black and white, addressing the concept that a country is an idea - and ours is built on among other things the concept of due process (which goes back to the Magna Carta). Images and text all snake across the page across a backdrop of humans imprisoned, and packed together, becoming a black mass in the lower right. I’ve written full description of the imagery with all the text on my site at the link (can’t put enough characters here…)

A historic graphic of corruption. The 11 federal agencies so far targeted for firings or dismantling by Elon Musk have more than 30 ongoing investigations into his companies. (📸 Malika Khurana for NYT)

The graphic shows arrows going from 11 general agencies and institutions to Musk companies which include SpaceX, Tesla. neuralink, x, and Musk himself.

The text at the top reads:
Trump firings hit agencies with oversight of Musk's companies
Staffing changes, including the firing of several top officials, have affected agencies with federal investigations into or regulatory battles with Elon Musk's companies.
