ICE are abducting toddlers and using them as bait. They murdered a mother of 3 and executed a VA ICU nurse. They're beating, pepper spraying, and gassing US citizens protesting their actions.
When is it enough? This needs to end immediately.

If I posted the best parts of this I'd just be posting the whole thing. So go read it, then read it again. An absolute must for anyone working in film or publishing. Brilliant.

In what's now become an annual tradition, I've written another piece for The Gist about how and why I hate A.I.
On a bubble about to burst, a future rotted to its core, and the limits of the Mrs Doyle Theory of artificial intelligence.

This is superb. Yuval Taylor's in-depth account of the early career of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, including the truth about joining Fleetwood Mac, is an exemplary piece of music writing: insightful, clean prose reflecting wide knowledge and primary research.

- Just bring your finished work.
- Print it out unless its a webcomic (crappy printing is better than no printing).
- Think about your storytelling

Again, can't post much of what I'm working on at the moment (so many fingers) but hat I can post is this, especially now that Alien: Earth is out and all the prints have (finally) been sent out and covered! If you're still waiting for yours, please email me or shoot me a DM!
