I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Here's a bonus cartoon and a plug for Mannequin on the Moon's team of Ian and Pia's new horror graphic novel Frostbite out Aug 4th from Scholastic. Yes, that Scholastic.

Interesting take about uses for data centers. Not benign.

One week until it's out! Pre-order now!

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

On this episode, Vicky Van and Jason Dedrick are joined by producer Ian Boothby for a special episode of Refresh My Memory remembering the movies of 1984. We'd love to hear some of your favourite films from 1984, and if you want to make a drink for them, even better. We might even try to make it!
