The Board of Immigration Appeals has issued a final administrative removal order against Mahmoud Khalil. His lawyers, who anticipated this, said it didn’t impact the status quo, they’ll appeal to the 5th Circuit, & that he cannot be detained while his habeas case is pending.

A U.S. judge in Washington ruled on Thursday that the Pentagon is hampering journalists in defiance of a court order that required it to restore access to credentialed reporters covering the seat of U.S. military power.

This might be one of my favorites from Artemis II. A cinematic alignment of the Moon and Earth, each cradled within the warmth of sunbeams.

Taken from behind the Moon on April 6th.

This is the entirety of the "argument" in a reply brief filed by two licensed attorneys in Texas.

Dear reader, the appellant did not prevail.

A fascinating look into this mentality. Why do you need to compete with a Fortune 500 company? You are a diner! The number one thing I want to see is photos of YOUR food, not a generic AI burger or your mac and cheese animated beyond recognition

People in comics & the British fantasy scene! If you were around in the 80s-90s & are willing to speak on or off the record about Gaiman, please DM me or reach out on email. I will put you in touch with someone working on a longform piece. They are wondering why no one, so far, is willing to talk.

I’m really grateful to Greg. Page 85 is where I reveal the origin story of this book. It’s a Bluesky book.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X.

This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5)

I enjoy being out in the amazing city of Chicago and realizing I'm right by a former Schlitz tied house. Tied houses were saloons usually owned by a brewery and only sold that brewery’s beer, a practice outlawed after prohibition. When you go to a tap room today and see a "guest beer"? That's why.

Une figure toujours réinventée 💪
Aujourd'hui, la licorne continue d'inspirer. Au 21e siècle, elle revêt de nouvelles significations : elle est le symbole des minorités sexuelles ou d’une nature menacée par la surexploitation des ressources naturelles.
