Group Of Teen Girls Convinces JD Vance To Kill Himself
WASHINGTON—Lighting up his phone night and day with their cruel taunts, a group of teenage girls reportedly convinced Vice President JD Vance to kill himself Tuesday. “Everyone I know thinks you’re so gross,” 16-year-old Bailey Hayworth said in a video message she sent to Vance, causing the vice president of the United States to throw […]

Does a HP fanfic, one where Rowling doesn’t get any money from its sale, buoy the IP and help to keep it alive even as its author descends into mouldy madness? I would argue yes. With Soto’s book, and the other two Dramione fanfics released by publishers this year, the connection to the source material has been crucial in their marketing. The authors talk about being fanfic writers in interviews. The cover art for one book is practically Tom Felton fanart. HP fans are helping to promote the book online through their enthusiasm for the fics. Emma Watson and Felton’s images have been used widely in such fan promos. Make no mistake: Julie Soto, her publisher, and the industry at large want you to know that HP is alive and well, and you can get a saucy new take on your favourite racist and his bullying victim through these books.

As a queer Scot who has watched Rowling decimate trans safety and rights in my own country, I personally find it deeply offensive to see people claim that they need to keep HP relevant because some queer people still want to read fanfic and buy Etsy stickers.

Reading Other Worlds by André Alexis and it's spectacular. The first, long story "Contrition: An Isekai" is a work of genius, I think. Absolutely perfect in its canny uncanniness and also beautiful evocation of an immigrant experience in such a fresh and insightful way. Funny, deep, compassionate.

Rümeysa Öztürk describes the library in the prison where she was held for 45 days for co-authoring an op-ed
After many requests, I finally accessed what turned out to be the saddest and smallest library I have ever seen. I was surprised to find that the books were not categorized by author or Dewey number but size. I tried to find a book before my allotted time ended and picked a cooking book; the second time I got a novel. I began flipping through the pages in search of solace, as books have always been my safe haven. To my surprise, I discovered handwritten notes scattered throughout the book, dated and written by various detainees over time. These messages were filled with reminders of hope, strength, and the assurance that this, too, shall pass. Tears welled up in my eyes as I read their heartfelt expressions. It’s incredible how human beings can find ways to uplift each other, transcending time, space, and borders if they want to and if they choose to. I continued to turn the pages, holding on to the hope of finding brighter moments in this terrifying situation—all thanks to the kindness of people I had never met.

"zines have no algorithm" 💘
A screengrab of Tumblr user Gemini Zines's text post reads "i think everyone should make zines. about everything all the time. make a zine about a playlist, about a good sandwich you made, about a cool bug you saw, about a skill you can teach, about a cause you care about. put them everywhere. pin them to community boards and tape them to poles and leave them in cafes and in between library books. i hate how social media has been taken over more than ever now by big greedy corporations and people and has become a mess of churning shit out for the algorithm. zines have no algorithm it is just the love in your heart the passion in your soul whatever your pencil decides to put on paper!! and it's beautiful!! make zines now!"

I earnestly can’t handle this horrid culture anymore. Every mainstream story is about our “endless” cycles of violence, unable or unwilling to imagine new futures. Our news is full of a decaying system eating its own tail. We are so isolated and attacking each other. We need to see a new horizon.

This isn't exactly light reading but given how so many TV series and messages lately have revolved around "saving the next generation so they can do better" instead of pushing revolutionary action - I think people desperately need to read Lee Edlemen's No Future.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."
The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.
