I had the great pleasure of being the first guest on the "Inking Neon" podcast, chatting about "A Protagonist Worth rooting For". It was an absolute blast, and a great joy to talk with my friend Cullen, and to bat about thoughts on the topic.

HEY YOU IN/NEAR NYC
Feeling mad about censorship? Furious about fascism? Fired up to protect freedom?

We actually gonna stand with him or are we just saying that?
the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
It is way past time for scheduled general strikes. It is way past time for scheduled general strikes. It is way past time for scheduled general strikes.
All these people saying they stand with #jimmykimmel are lying. There is only one way to stand with a comedian put on the street for saying things the government doesn’t like, and that is to go out on the street with him until the cowards remember who in this country—in every country—has the power.
Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.
Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.
Collective boycott.
Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.
Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.
We’re proud to share we’ve reached a tentative agreement with CBS News Chicago! None of this would have been possible without your public support for our union. #UnionStrong
Check out this post about @sillauthor.bsky.social 's Le Petit Mortuary, a contemporary romance set in a funeral home. There are even gnomes with a drug problem! I was lucky enough to give some critique on this. A book gnoman will forget!

Screenshot of the Atlantic Signal exchanges, including Michael Waltz saying "the first target - their top missile guy - we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend's building and it's now collapsed".
Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?
April 5th. March on DC. Spread the word. #protest

To any folks still thinking of going to the US; don't.
As the genocide of Palestinian people resumed, DWN remains resolute in our demand for a permanent ceasefire. We believe in the liberation of oppressed people & express our unequivocal solidarity with Palestine.

SBWU members and allies hold signs saying "FAIR CONTRACT NOW" and "OUR UNION IS STRONG" outside a Starbucks store, where workers hold signs and their fists up from inside the lobby.
Inside a Starbucks store, where workers hold up fists and signs as a picket line forms outside.
ICYMI - Starbucks baristas have gone on strike, and along with allies + former workers, are occupying the lobbies of multiple stores.
We didn't want it to come to this. But if participating in civil disobedience is the only way Starbucks will listen, so be it. CONTRACTS NOW! ✊🔥

Who writes dystopian fiction in the Year of Oh-Dear-Lord 2025? It's me! My jam is:
near-future thrillers
tight-knit communities ready to fight back
lots of snark & a dash of romance
how-to manuals for the resistance
giving villains really brutal comeuppances
This you too? Let's be friends!
Justice has but one domain, and satire is its king.

We want to wish “Solidarity Forever” a happy 110th birthday!
“Solidarity Forever” was originally written in 1915 by Ralph Chaplin, and its many covers have since become an anthem for the labor movement and working people’s fight for their fair share.

Florida can now arrest trans people for going to the bathroom. Once in prison, they can be forcibly “detransitioned” through denial of medications, hair shaving, and other abuses.
The term for this is “cold pogrom.” It uses rule of law to hide the violence from the public eye and outcry.
This is a great idea!
because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win
We choose to eat this turkey in this sitting and all the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard;
I’m 40 years old, as of this week. I got pretty cynical in my 30s. So I’m committing my 40s to conscious optimism. Offensive kindness. Militant decency is the goal, in a neon pallet. I will greet this cyberpunk collapse with a tray of cookies and a hug.
Time to learn how to bake cookies.
What’s something weird, cool, spooky or just neato that you know from your job but most people don’t know?
What are your favorite tropes of the Cyberpunk genre? What would you like to see more of?
Audio people, sell me on the DAW you use? I’m using Reaper because it’s cheap and a forever license, but it seems like there must be a better option out there.
As both a teacher and a game developer I've learned that all games are education: they must teach you how to play them, with most of the learning during play. The reverse should also be true: all education as play. But alas, due to legacy issues, this is seldom the practice for education.
