@warren.senate.gov is one of the few guests on the @colbertlateshow.bsky.social whose interview I will watch in full.
No shade to other guests who share their work.
Colbert conducts an excellent interview, it is just rare that the whole topic is important enough to listen all the way through.

The current job market reminds me a lot of 2012.
However, it is much slower. If there is any response at all it is generally weeks later with weeks more before a final response.
At the start of the year when I began looking, there were more jobs & more responses within a reasonable timeframe.

A good conversation that touched base on creative persistence/perseverance & finding the truth in the character & stories.
Also mentioned too briefly "Speeding Bullets", the first Elseworld that I spent money to read. Like much of what @jmdematteis.bsky.social has written, it stays with the reader.

Artists behind some of the most popular films of all time are also forging one of the most powerful organized resistances to AI.
With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech.

The utter lack of decency along with a complete lack of respect & recognition of both conventional limits & the law... While it is has long since stopped being a shock in any way, it remains infuriating to see such harm inflicted on vulnerable people & institutions that stand for something better.
NYT Confirms: Trump will DEMOLISH the ENTIRE East Wing of the White House.
The Times says the East Wing is expected to be fully torn down by the weekend to make room for Trump's ballroom for billionaires — despite the fact that Trump pledged the White House would not be touched.
