THAT IS THE LESSON OF HOLOCAUST EDUCATION YOU SICK FREAK
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

The Myrmidions from Shade's Children, The River Serpent from Between Two Fires, Christopher Carrion from Abarat (cheating i guess because there was art of him in the back fold of the book), Rawhead from Books of Blood Vol 3, and The Crawler in Annihilation are ones that really stuck with me!
What's your favourite monster/creature from literature? I'm thinking Tuunbaq from Dan Simmon's The Terror, the triffids from Wyndham's Day of the Triffids, the demon from M.R. James' Casting The Runes, Grendel, Pennywise, etc.

Zohran Mamdani wins!
He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Next TTRPG Essentials article is shaping up to be a massive love-letter to all the indies I've loved over the last year and a bit.
I might have to do a follow-up article going into some more of these systems at length, or see about arranging some dev interviews afterwards.
