These clowns want to cede the most important decisions in comics storytelling to a fucking bot. And you know this would lead to further underpayment of artists. Boycott any book or publisher that uses this.

Walk me through what the platform actually does.

You put in a manuscript. The system spends time studying the story, including the thesis, the background, the protagonist, and the emotional beats that pay off for a reader, and produces a storyboard that gets you to roughly 60–70% of a finished product. Then an editor, the author, and an illustrator go in and shape that further, because a purely AI-generated output tends to lack soul and be generic. This is not a self-driving car. It's more like handing a Ferrari to someone who already knows how to drive.

If Bichotte Hermelyn's post-election power grab is thwarted, @juliopenabk.com would become the new Brooklyn Democratic Party leader. He and other folks at the rally spoke of time wasted - right now, we should be uniting to beat Republicans in Brooklyn, not grappling with an internal power grab.

District leaders Diana Gonzalez and Ilyssa Meyer speaking up at the Brooklyn Democratic Party's fiasco of a meeting. Worth noting, I can't remember a single Bichotte Hermelyn supporter speaking up at the meeting. But her faction dominated every vote via 800 or more proxies.

Diana Gonzalez stands behind the mic, looking fiercely determined.

Ilyssa Meyer raises a hand while speaking. Other concerned people behind her.

@jumaane.bsky.social, District Leader @juliopenabk.com (who would be the new Brooklyn Party Chair if not for the power grab), @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social, and assembly member Monique Chandler-Waterman at the @newkingsdems.bsky.social rally.

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 24/09/2026

Given the fact that the party leaders ran votes to elevate their own faction's appointees over a bunch of reformer appointees with no transparency about who those appointees actually were, this felt like a slap in the face. 🤷

Big sign reading "Congratulations to all our new county committee members!" on the stage of the meeting.

Samantha Rijkers, Campaign Director for Rep Your Block. You can sign up to be a county committee member through Rep Your Block here: www.repyourblock.com I did that! Was proud to try! But at the meeting, Bichotte Hermelyn's faction invalidated my appointment (and those of a bunch of others).

The @newkingsdems.bsky.social held a rally before the meeting with @jumaane.bsky.social and other Brooklyn electeds. Highly recommend following the @newkingsdems.bsky.social if you care about reforming the Brooklyn Democratic Party.

This picture says a lot, if you ask me.

Alan Rocoff laughs/smirks as Renee Collymore and Akel Williams talk.

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 24/09/2026

Renee Collymore later said "I stand by what I said" when Williams asked her again about her "plantation" comment. I don't have words.

1587

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 24/09/2026

Williams seemed genuinely horrified, shocked, and hurt by Collymore's "plantation" comment. That's District Leader Shaquana Boykin, another reformer, leading Williams away at the end.

1798

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 24/09/2026

A shocking exchange during which Renee Collymore insulted Akel Williams from the stage using the word "plantation."

Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodnyse Bichotte Hermelyn did not show her face at the meeting, even though party leaders devoted the meeting to pushing through her power grab agenda.

Several times during the meeting, Anthony Beckford asked for members of the audience to be removed. The cops weren't particularly happy about being involved. They did not end up removing anyone.

Cops and security loom over an audience member at the meeting. Beckford and other presiding officers visible on the stage in the background.

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 24/09/2026

Assembly member @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social tore into the presiding officers, noting that among other things, a copy of the amendments considered had not been distributed five days before as required. I've never seen her so mad.

Jo Ann Simon shouts at the meeting. Furious.

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 24/09/2026

The meeting started hours late, after which party leaders repeatedly ignored questions about proxy votes and whether procedural rules had been followed while pushing through votes to validate Bichotte-Hermelyn's power grab. District Leader and reformer Akel Williams' expression kind of says it all.

Akel Williams stands at the mic at the meeting with a shocked/exasperated/wtf expression on his face, throwing one hand up, palm up, in a shocked/exasperated/wtf gesture.

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 24/09/2026

This Brooklyn Democratic Party County Committee meeting was an anti-democratic disgrace. Shame on the leaders of the party, who ignored legitimate questions from reformers, tried to get the cops to eject people, insulted dissenters, and pushed through Bichotte-Hermelyn's power grab. 📷🧵

Rob Robinson, Anthony Beckford, Renee Collymore, and Alan Rokoff presiding over the Brooklyn Democrats meeting. Banner on their table reads "Brooklyn Democrats / Kings County Democratic County Committee"

Chants of SHAME as Anthony Beckford reads out the names of the officers being pushed by the Bichotte-Hermelyn ruling faction to rule the Brooklyn Democratic Party. Reformers had MANY questions about many issues, including whether proxy votes were properly handled.

Incredibly important message from the heroes protesting NYU Langone's denial of health care to trans youth: "WAKE UP, WAKE UP, THIS IS YOUR FIGHT TOO "WHEN THEY'RE DONE WITH US, THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU"

For some reason, this particular sign really moves me. Drawn in a spiral notebook. So personal. And always ready. ❤️

High five to @edidin.bsky.social for bringing one of the most visible signs of the protest!

As they did at last week's protest at Mt. Sinai, protestors administered HRT in public "to humanize gender-affirming healthcare and affirm the right of trans people to make decisions about their own bodies."

Protestors inject themselves with HRT. Folks holding signs - some of the legible words are "liberation now!" and "our genders our choices our futures" and "We don't want your cis kids to be trans we want your trans kids to survive"

Fantastic protest organized by @genderlib.com to protest NYU Lagnone's deal with Trump to end gender-affirming care for trans youth. Big 🧵 of photos for ya!

Protestors march down the street holding signs/banners reading things like HONOR YOUR OATH / PROTECT TRANS KIDS, PROTECT THE DOLLS, and TRANS LIVES ARE NOT BARGAINING CHIPS
