JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

What did y'all think about the ending of Homebound? I really liked the movie, but that little twist at the end was a rather odd choice that raised more questions than it answered, no? It felt just a bit mawkish in an otherwise excellent film imo.. allowance for filmy creative liberties?

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

What we do know is that the plaintiff can refile in NZ at her discretion. This doesn't mean that anyone found her claims unsubstantiated or that Gaiman successfully introduced any doubt into the proceedings; it just means that somebody made a really bad choice of fillings.

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,
