“Why do people trust ChatGPT? This is so alarming and brand new.” A guy once married a body pillow and another guy married Hatsune Miku. Human beings are sometimes just like this!

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Alice Wong was one of the few who actually left the world better than when she entered it. A lot of the obituaries are leaving out her work on Covid, her advocacy around masking, and her work on eSims for Gaza. I tried to capture some of that in a post on IG.

“…AND AS OF TONIGHT, GOVERNED BY AN IMMIGRANT!!!”

I’m literally sobbing oh my goddd 😭😭😭 this is so scary but maybe there’s hope after all 🥹🥹🥹

Hope is a funny thing. No matter how much you don’t want it to be there, it grows.

Zohran for Mayor feels like hope with purpose.

Yall wouldn’t freaking endorse him properly and now that he’s won you’re cool? Be so fucking serious
New Yorkers have spoken and voted for change. Congrats Mayor-elect

When we launched this campaign, we said we wanted to knock on one million doors across the five boroughs by the June primary.

Some people laughed. You got to work. We hit 1.6 million.

In the general, we said let's do it again. Another million.

We just passed three.

This is such a bad look OverDrive.

No one wants recommendations that burn the planet. We want recommendations from librarians.

This feels like a fundamental misunderstanding of the library's audience and user base.

🚨 WNDB is committed to providing emergency grants to diverse authors & illustrators, publishing professionals, and educators experiencing dire financial need due to loss of SNAP benefits. We are now open for a new round of emergency grants, between $250 and $1,000 each.

Take it from someone with a store in an affluent location and one in a working class, immigrant community... the poorer community will use whatever means they have at their disposal to keep your small business alive. Give them the resources and your store and community will be alive.
I hope everyone in the comics industry realizes that when SNAP benefits end, people will buy fewer comics, which will affect every single person in the business.

If you love comics, please never, ever, ever vote for a Republican.

Also give to your local food bank/mutual aid group if you can.

Pinterest's AI labeling tool is also flawed. This image appeared in both today's search and the search from June. Neither were labeled as "AI Modified."

Unfortunately, the tool for turning off Gen AI recommendations on Pinterest is extremely flawed. I did some tests back in June because I was being interviewed for an article. Today, I typed in the same search prompts as I did in June and found just as many AI images and even some new, more mangled
