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.

Don't think for a second they wont do more public executions. Don't think for a second they will stop at prisoners. Don't think for a second that they wont see you as a target.

In Crikey today, I have a long read on Canberra’s endearment with AI and the dubious promise of data centre riches. While Australia’s creatives are being sold down the river, you don’t need to fire up Claude to spot some cracks in the hype-doom sales pitch ($) www.crikey.com.au/2026/10/08/a...

Canberra is 'drinking the Kool-Aid' on AI. Where will it take us?

The Albanese government is treating the promises of AI and data centre investment like a digital mining boom. How does it sit within Labor's broader social project?

We don’t think the case for this has been made. One constant in the global history of policing is that every weapon given to cops, they will eventually use. Therefore, every force escalation requires compelling justification.

Disabled people deserve healthcare, housing, food and support. They deserve accommodations. They don’t deserve to be treated as “less than” because they can’t work. No one’s worth should be tied to productivity. Only the top 1% benefits from a system that leaves “non productive” people behind.

Having discovered that “Chevy Chase” in Wuthering Heights is actually referring to “The Ballad of Chevy Chase” from English poetry instead of the actor, I will not accept any inevitable hit piece biopic of Cornelius Crane Chase unless it has that specific title. What a ballad it could be!

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.
