Fucking finally. Tokyopop tried this back in 2005 or so, & they famously only did the 1st volume, cancelled at the 2nd, & the one volume they DID publish they swapped around the chapter order because they didn't like how it read. God damn that felt like yesterday. Time flies.

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.
ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

This is an all-timer piece that showcases the common complexities and patterns of organizing. Unionization isn't just "ok let's unionize" and there is so much nuance to the path to getting there. If you're remotely interested in workers rights in the games industry in any way you *must* read this.

I just want to flag for anyone who listens to me and might be understandably under the Double Fine spell (despite their propaganda show depicting some pretty grim shit) that there's no way this is true. These union efforts don't just happen. Huge amounts of care go into getting these things lined up

Ivan Turgenev's "Execution of Troppmann" is a short essay, published in 1870, that gives a first-hand account of the writer attending a public execution in Paris. Turgenev's details how the drunk, unruly crowd turned a somber moment into a carnival. A deeply moving essay; I encourage you to read it.

disingenuous and utterly misleading reporting by RPS here: Discord did not suffer any kind of breach this is a completely-unaffiliated-with-Discord service
Gaming chat app Discord has suffered another user data breach, with a suspected 1 million email addresses stolen alongside (potentially many more) user IDs and IP addresses. While Discord was not targeted directly, third party security service Double Counter have reported a "deliberate, multi-stage attack" wherein hackers spent nearly six hours poking around their infrastructure before the vulnerability was closed.

Double Counter essentially acts as a bouncer bot for Discord servers, promising to detect and block unsanctioned alt accounts and prevent hostile 'raids' by large groups of malicious users. While its efficacy in that mission is debated by Discord users, and the service has previously been accused of selling user data for revenue, the fact is that Double Counter can collect and store personal info of the users that visit its 'protected' servers. Info that, now, has been partly or entirely nicked by Internet miscreants.

By Double Counter’s own estimates, around 1 million user email addresses have been affected, with databases of Discord IDs, usernames, IP addresses, and even location info for up to 28 million users also "partly" copied by the hackers. Security breach trackers Have I Been Pwned further report that 275,000 of the pinched emails and usernames have since been posted publicly.

It takes a toll.
4 frame comics. first frame shows espresso in a portafilter. second shows a coconut milk carton and a cup to foam milk with a thermometer. 4rd frame shows a small espresso machine making espresso. 4th frame shows a foamy cappuccino in a promotional Frozen the Musical coffee cup. The text, spread over the four frames, reads :
I wish that I could give cis
people a glimpse of what it
feels like. 
to be villainized and
dehumanized in the media
every day.
to see your existence
being legislated against all

to see friends and

politicians who promise to
make the lives of people

Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.
The image is a six panel black and white comic. 

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard. 

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted 

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang
