You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.
You made a difference—so much of a difference.
Rest always in peace, and always in power.

It's wild how much we have to unpack about our own country completely on our own! I used to be a well-meaning "I don't see color" kind of white person. Social media can be a cesspool but it has taught me so much. We shouldn't have to wade into pollution to learn about the world.

issue #2 of Fantagraphics’ Gladstone revival continues, we’ve got inside front cover editorials, house ads on the back - drop the price to 0.95 cents and we’ll be in heaven. I have suffered the psychic damage of being reminded of Gideon McDuck, however, an Italian malady for which there is no cure.

Incisive analysis from Dorian Lynskey on the deplorable state of affairs currently engulfing the BBC and the hypocrisy of the likes of Robbie Gibb and his minions.
The idea that this individual is somehow an “impartiality tzar” who supports unbiased journalism is absurd and utterly despicable.

The BBC is the biggest prize in the information war – and the right may be about to destroy it
The corporation is always under attack. But this time it has been sabotaged by conservative ideologues deep within its heart. Is it time for the culture secretary to step in? By Dorian Lynskey
