Beyond the horrifying reality that a hospital is trying to "clear the pentobarbital from [Christa Pike's] system" currently, the litigation over Tennessee's actions this week will shine a very clear light on the many, many reasons why governments should not be trusted with killing their citizens.

Egyptian security forces have arrested six journalists working for the independent investigative journalism platform Matsda2sh and appear to have forcibly disappeared them. Authorities should immediately disclose their whereabouts and grant access to lawyers.

From warring parties targeting journalists in Yemen to a Hong Kong Court’s conviction of former publisher Jimmy Lai, there are steep efforts to curtail free speech worldwide. This is precisely why we must speak out. #WorldPressFreedomDay

It's astounding how fast "AI" has broken down the basic concept of licensing or even just plain asking permission from an artist. It's intrinsically the behavior of an utter asshole, and it contributes to the overall public rejection of everything associated with the technology.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").
Attorneys representing immigrants held at the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site alleged Friday in federal court that guards beat and pepper-sprayed detainees after a protest over lost phone access — allegations they argue show state and federal officials defying a recent court order protecting detainees’ civil rights. In a court filing in Fort Myers, lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation and civil rights groups said officers at the controversial Everglades facility entered a unit earlier this month and physically assaulted detainees. One man was thrown to the ground and “severely beat,” according to his attorney, who submitted photographs to the court showing her client with a black eye. The attorney, Katie Blankenship of the legal-services organization Sanctuary of the South, wrote in a sworn declaration that officers broke another detainee’s wrist and “pepper sprayed everyone in the cage.” The violence, the attorneys say, erupted after site employees abruptly cut off detainees’ access to phones on April 2 — eliminating what they described as their clients’ only connection to legal counsel and their families. The day-long prohibition came less than a week after Middle District Judge Sheri Polster Chappell issued an order expanding Alligator Alcatraz detainees’ access to their lawyers and their ability to use phones at the remote pop-up facility.

It isn't obscure in library circles, and it should be obvious, but it does seem to confuse a lot of people when I note that a bad economy always sees a spike in virtually every library use statistic.

I think it’s awful that the Islamic Republic killed countless Iranians, I think it’s awful that the US and Israel are adding to the body count. I truly hope Iranians get freedom from violence sooner rather than later.

Top image: Tatiana Maslany at the Sundance Film Festival on January 27 2026. 

Bottom images: Screenshots of Tatiana Maslany's Instagram stories from February 28 2026, in which she calls out Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for co-signing the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which killed at least 60 children in an Iranian school in the town of Minab: 

“Shame on you [Mark Carney] and your spineless subservience to fascists & your support of the US and Israel's illegal attacks on Iran 🇨🇦 WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!” 

“Here's Carney's statement co-signing the murder of at least 60 children today. Not surprising since he cosigned on Israel's slaughter of children in Gaza for the past two years” 

“When I say [Mark Carney] co-signed Israel's slaughter of children in Gaza I should've said he actively funded and armed Israel in their slaughter of children in Gaza”

Confirmation that LUCAS drones were used against targets in Iran. People have got to quit trying to downplay how much these cheap, disposable drones have fundamentally altered the way wars are fought. It’s a big deal everywhere, not just in “permissive” environments.

Glad to see more artists speaking out against ICE.
Screenshot of a post on X by Pop Crave (@PopCrave) saying: “Billie Eilish condemns ICE in new Instagram reposts:” followed by a large quoted statement calling ICE “a federally funded and supported terrorist group” under the Department of Homeland Security and saying it has done nothing to make streets safer. Below the text is a two-image layout: on the left, a photo of Billie Eilish wearing a black suit jacket and white shirt, looking to the side; on the right, two Instagram Story-style screenshots with text blocks on dark backgrounds.

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities. This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

One of the self-affirmation notes that Octavia E Butler would write for herself 😭 "I shall be a bestselling writer... My novels will go onto the above lists whether publishers push them hard or not, whether I’m paid a high advance or not, whether I ever win another award or not."
I shall be a bestselling writer. After Imago, each of my books will be on the bestseller lists of LAT, NYT, PW, WP, etc. My novels will go onto the above lists whether publishers push them hard or not, whether I’m paid a high advance or not, whether I ever win another award or not.

This is my life. I write bestselling novels. My novels go onto the bestseller lists on or shortly after publication. My novels each travel up to the top of the bestseller lists and they reach the top and they stay on top for months . Each of my novels does this.

So be it! I will find the way to do this. See to it! So be it! See to it!

My books will be read by millions of people!

I will buy a beautiful home in an excellent neighborhood

I will send poor black youngsters to Clarion or other writer’s workshops

I will help poor black youngsters broaden their horizons

I will help poor black youngsters go to college

I will get the best of health care for my mother and myself

I will hire a car whenever I want or need to.

I will travel whenever and wherever in the world that I choose

My books will be read by millions of people!

So be it! See to it!
