One of the things about my anthology that I am both excited and extremely humbled by is the fact that Samuel Delany sent @broadviewpress.bsky.social a newly edited version of his story “Among the Blobs” for me to use, complete with some relevant images, new notes, and a new introduction! #SFF

The next government shutdown could hit at the end of this month, and if the budget bill includes more funding for ICE — shut it down!
ICE is a horror show of abuse, violence, and human rights violations. Every Dem in Congress should be talking about it like @repespaillat.bsky.social

Training cannot correct for deficiencies resulting from a lack of vetting. Remember what federal LEOs are normally screened for (CARLA F. BAD):

ICE is not being vetted against any of these. Shut it down.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

Really enjoyed the first episode of the new Star Trek, though it’s hitting home that the most unbelievable part is the idea of a future society that recenters education while admitting their reliance on prisons is bad.

No water as well.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

It’s been a pretty bad day, and I have to wait an hour for the pizza that will make me feel a little better, so… AMA I guess?

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.
