Really loved having this conversation with Ian Thomas, which was challenging in all the best ways. And it's amazing to be featured in the The Comics Journal, which I've been reading since I was a teenager.

I am once again asking us all to recognize that the Luddites were not anti-technology but anti-exploitation. If they were around today they would have joined you in a call for technology that serves everyone’s, not just the bosses.

Can AI and robotics help us in many ways? I am not a Luddite — I believe they can.
But we must make sure these new technologies benefit all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.
I hope you'll take a few minutes to read my op-ed in Fox News. Let’s start the debate.

As boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla prepared to set sail toward Gaza, a representative of Genoa’s Dockworkers’ Union declared that if anything happened to the flotilla, workers would “block everything.” When the flotilla was attacked, the reaction was swift: a 24-hour general strike was called.

So much vile behavior from Northwestern here. First they assign mandatory "antisemitism" training created by "a pro-Israel advocacy group." In the training, "At one point the narrator compares critics of Israel to former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke."

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them.
