I am so excited to get this issue out there. I haven’t written explicitly about computers since HALT.
But this is a mind-bender and real emotional gauntlet.
Very proud of this one. I hope you dig it.

AI is killing the college essay as more professors ditch robot-written papers for in-class exams. So now even fewer students are being taught to write well (an energy intensive task!).
Students lose out, bc good writing = good thinking: a training of the brain towards structure, style & substance.

I'd tell you to support anything Robert does because he's one of the nicest guys around, but I don't have to rely on his personality because his talent does all the talking in this Kickstarter! Don't you need something spooky to look forward to?

To that end what if everyone bought a copy of OUT OF ALCTRAZ right now—the book Tyler Crook spent a year of hand painting and crafting.
I think you can get 15% off if you use the code LOVEBOOKSELLERS.
Because we love our booksellers. We love books. We love art. We love what things still could be.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)
As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
