On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.
The question of the Diamond bankruptcy came up a lot at GAMA Expo. Comics Beat has a great summary of where things are that I wish I could’ve pointed people to last week, but sharing now for those still interested in updates beyond my “it’s a shit show” opinions.

This might be one of the greatest shots that I have ever seen.
when the internet was new, random Limewire users were sued for 6-7 figures over downloading individual songs
today, if you're an AI company, i guess you can just steal entire people's identities with no repercussions
23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”.
ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.
Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”.
Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?”
These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.
Abolish ICE

What the literal fuck?! Monsters, they’re fucking monsters.
We’re into the final day of this Kickstarter! So excited to be bringing Mutants & Masterminds into a new era.

Wednesday at GAMA Expo has begun.
I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.
I’m so glad you had a good time!

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”
GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON
It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
I don’t know anything about RSD besides that it exists but I’m very familiar with what you just described. I’m sorry, I hope it passes soon.
The West is marshalling all this effort and tearing any pretence of international law to shreads all to empower an apartheid state that has been openly committing genocide for the past several years.
Any notion the West was some kind of moral arbiter of the world is dead and buried.
If you have a couple bucks you can spare, please help a nearly blind senior citizen and his two orange boys secure their transition funding so they can stay in their home after the owner's death. They're close to their goal! 🙏❤️

The only reason I want Anthropic to survive is so they can pay out their class action suit to the authors and creators they stole from.
