Dune’s Butlerian Jihad and the future of AI
MANILA, Philippines – Warner Bros. recently published a two-and-a-half-minute teaser for the final part of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune film trilogy. As a science fiction fan who has read Frank

Just finished "Song of A Blackbird" by Maria van Lieshout. It's an excellent and extremely timely historical fiction graphic novel about rediscovering a family connection that was severed by war, and the Dutch Resistance figures under Nazi occupation who saved many lives, in some cases at the cost of their own.
Despite being fiction, it's very closely grounded in historical facts, and the inclusion of photographs within the illustrations is really cool.
Now is an interesting time to be thinking about the fates of Nazis, collaborators, their victims, and the resistance, as well as how we remember them all. I especially liked the section at the end about the real historical figures and their fates. So "fascinating" that none of the Nazis were executed or died in prison (mostly they did serve long terms before their release), even those who oversaw mass killings and deportations to concentration camps. I'm a prison abolitionist and not a fan of state capital punishment, so on *some* level this seems like an outcome I should be happy about, but I somehow doubt that the state was this lenient for all prisoners during this time period...

I don’t want to get into fan fiction of franchises because my brain is already muddy enough, but one thing I can’t keep myself from reading is the fan fiction text chains between #HeatedRivalry characters.
