A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.
Maya Shanbhag Lang retweeted
Trump just claimed that immigrants have the "highest level of criminality". Actually, the opposite is true.

“I’m very happy to be part of this effort to nudge the tech world to make good on its frequent declarations that it is on the side of creativity. Fair compensation means that a person’s work is valued, plain and simple."
—George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo

THE CHANGELING streams on Apple TV today!
I'm proud of our big, bold fairy tale.
With the WGA strike, I'm doing no press. But I've gotta talk about the woman who made the show, KELLY MARCEL. She fought so hard. I want to share the secrets of how she got it made at all.

We stand in solidarity with those that brought forth an open letter to the Pulitzer Prize board. We echo the call to realign the prize’s eligibility requirements to better reflect the American literary landscape.

"I was disheartened and surprised to once again encounter this 'checking of papers' in the literary arts — a field I truly believed to be a liberal haven."
Indeed, there must be a policy change.

#AI: "A tremendous threat".
@AuthorsGuild President @mayaslang joins thousands of writers demanding #AI developers get consent & give fair pay when their work is used to train language models.
Plus why #AI content must be marked!
Maya Shanbhag Lang retweeted
As writers, we know the profound impact our work has had on the development of AI models. We are calling on AI leaders to stop using our works without our consent, compensation, or credit.
Please join us in signing our open letter.

In banning affirmative action, the Supreme Court has *not* banned using race in college admissions. "Race neutral" is a legal fantasy, the latest to conserve racism. As Uma Jayakumar and I write @TheAtlantic, “race neutral” is the new “separate but equal.”

If Warner Bros Discovery can afford to pay its CEO David Zaslav $286 million in compensation over the past 2 years, it can afford to pay its writers much better wages and benefits. Mr. Zaslav: Listen to the Boston University students and the Writers Guild. Pay your writers.
The WGA is thankful to all the B.U. graduates for chanting "Pay your writers" at Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav while he delivered the #BU2023 commencement address. #WGAStrike
