  1. NPR Topics: Home Page Top Stories | 'Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep' is full of beautifully written grotesqueries by Gabino Iglesias

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Paul Tremblay’s latest novel *Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep* is a wildly original blend of psychological, dystopian, sci‑fi and horror that follows Julia Flang, a former semi‑pro gamer stuck in dead‑end jobs, who accepts a lucrative but ethically fraught job: using a controller‑built‑into‑a‑phone to puppeteer a man in a vegetative state (dubbed “Bernie”) and ferry him from California to the East Coast. The story alternates between ordinary, chronological chapters from Julia’s point of view and fragmented, second‑person “fever‑dream” sections that plunge readers into Bernie’s disorienting consciousness, while the narrative constantly interrogates AI‑driven control, the nature of consciousness, corporate greed, and what it means to be human. Tremblay’s experimental layout—boxes, moving text, and meta‑writings that break the fourth wall—creates a grotesquely beautiful, unsettling reading experience, mixing dark humor with big philosophical questions, and solidifies the novel as a top‑tier, innovative horror work that confronts the growing anxieties around generative AI.

  3. Much of the momentum to find a progressive replacement for #Platner in the #Maine #Senate campaign has flipped to former state senator Troy Jackson.

    Jackson filed paperwork Tuesday with the #FEC and is the first Democrat to do so. A recent poll of likely voters even found Jackson with a 5% edge over Susan Collins.

    The #Bernie bro backed logger from Northern Maine was endorsed by the Maine #DSA and previously served as president of the Maine Senate from 2018–2024 before a governorship run in the state’s Democratic primary, finishing third.

  6. So now that #Bernie has called on #Platner to drop out, can we stop accusing #Democrats who wanted him to drop out of being tools of the establishment? Maybe folks just want to stop voting rapists into office?

    Can we all agree that that’s a worthy goal, the not electing of rapists? #Politics

    But also. Whatever you do to resist, in concert with others, in the street or at work, any action, is VITAL, and makes you a hero.

    And some point, a big action needing resistance, will be stopped by you, turning off a website, or voting no, or removing money, or getting a sign vandalised into sanity, hero.

    Just yours to do.

    And you'll do it.

    Just do it.
