Black text on white background
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.

The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.

Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.

To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.

Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Twitter user dawnedEUW quote tweeting a "picture" of a white dragon laying on the ground: i can't help but notice that i am seeing a lot more dragon sighting videos since the advent of generative AI.

Could it be that AI's adverse effects on the environment are leading to a change in their behavior, e.g. lack of water sources that causes them to move closer to cities?

CONTINUED, The Boy From Venus #10 🔟

Panel 1: Fatima looms over Val, backlit by the entrance to the arcade, with a cold expression. She says "Two YEARS, Val. Two YEARS you haven't shown your face here."

Panel 2: Zoom in on Fatima's face as she opens her eyes wide and says "And NOW ... I have something to say to you."

Panel 3: Fatima's expression becomes comically 'about-to-cry', her nose scrunched, mouth tensed, and eyes glistening with years.

Panel 4: Fatima hugs Val, shedding big tears, and yells, "I'M SOOOORRRYYYY"

Panel 5: Fatima puts her head over Val's shoulder and continues crying, saying "Val, I was a TERRIBLE friend. I NEVER should've asked you to do that."

Panel 6: We flip the view and now see Val's face as she looks stunned. Fatima continues talking, saying "I should've just asked you to cast the tournament with me or something! I was so STUPID!!"

Panel 7: Val hugs Fatima back as her expression turns slightly pained. "I did you dirty too, Fatima," she says, "I said I'd do our plan and then didn't."

Panel 8: Val hold's Fatima's shoulders, holding Fatima in front of herself as they face each other. Val says "I was too proud to lose, but then too ashamed to face you. I wanted to make it look like I walked out an indignant victor ..."

Panel 9: "... But really, I RAN," Val finishes saying as Fatima looks at her wide-eyed, her makeup running.

Panel 10: Audrey is standing behind Val with his hands clasped together on his jeans and says "Hey, um. I'm gonna give you two some space." Val replies "Thanks, Audrey."

Panel 11: Once Audrey leaves, Fatima leans in close to Val with sparkly eyes, saying "Val, who was THAT smokeshow?? I didn't know you SWING that way!" Val replies, "There's a lot to unpack in that sentence"

Panel 12: Audrey is walking whimsically through the arcade and looking around, humming a tune.

Panel 13: He spots an arcade machine with a four by four grid of square buttons, which happens to have the cat-ears guy from a few comics ago standing next to it. Audrey says "OH! What's THIS game??"

Panel 14: The cat-years guy gestures towards the game, also placing his hand on it, and says "Oh, this is a rhythm game from Japan. The menu is all in Japanese. I can teach you to play if you like."

Panel 15: Audrey's eyes sparkle as he insistently presses a button on the grid that has lit up. The cat-ears guy is saying "Okay, so, just because a button lights up doesn't mean you NEED to press it."

Panel 16: The cat-ears guy shifts his gaze over to the machine's screen to see how Audrey is navigating the menu by spamming that one button. He says "Okay, so, you just selected the hardest song on the maximum difficulty. Don't press that button again. Press the other one to go back. Okay, so. You pressed it again."
