talk about failing the bechdel test
I read an interview today where Alison Bechdel talked about using chatGPT for a panel of her recent comic -- she prompted it and copied the results -- and I still don't know what to do with that. It genuinely feels in moments like this like so many of our art elders are failing us.
Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

6 kids hospitalized because ICE threw a flashbang into their car. The father said they were not a part of the protest, and he was just trying to get his family away from the situation.
Fuck you, ICE-holes, for injuring these children.

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone.
And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

We document how the growth in ICE detention has been driven by a huge increase in the number of people arrested by ICE and held in detention who have no criminal record at all. We also explain how new detention policies are keeping people locked up with no ability to seek bond — making many give up.
Arrests of people with no criminal record surged by 2,450% in Trump’s first year.
This was driven by increases in tactics like “at-large” arrests, roving patrols, worksite raids, and re-arrests of people attending immigration court hearings or ICE check-ins.

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming
