On Disinformation
The effort to destroy facts and make America ungovernable didn’t come out of nowhere. It is the culmination of seventy years of strategic denialism. In On Disinformation, Lee McIntyre shows how the war on facts began, and how ordinary citizens can fight back against the scourge of disinformation that is now threatening the very fabric of our society.
The Night Land
Humankind’s survivors huddle below Earth’s frozen surface in a fortress city under siege by enormous slugs and spiders and malevolent “Watching Things” from another dimension. When an unnamed protagonist receives a telepathic distress signal from a woman whom he’d once loved in a previous incarnation, he sets off on an ill-advised rescue mission into the Night Land.

Thursday September 21, 2023![Today is World Alzheimer's Awareness Day—an important annual event that concentrates its efforts on creating awareness of Alzheimer's disease, as well as breaking the stigma around it. According to the WHO, more than 55 million people have dementia globally. The epidemic, what some call the “silver tsunami,” has culminated in over six million Alzheimer’s patients in the US alone. Yet, it is estimated that only one in four people with the disease are diagnosed. Despite the millions of individuals and families affected, dementia is often a taboo subject with limited public awareness or discourse.
This is why we are humbled to publish “The Day after Yesterday,” a powerful collection of portraits and personal stories that humanizes the millions of people living with dementia, replacing fear and futility with empathy and nuance. As author and photographer Joe Wallace explains, “The typical narrative about dementia tends to focus on the clinical diagnosis … all too often depicted using fear, despair, and vulnerability. [This] quickly becomes a powerful means for us to distance ourselves from their humanity and does little to change the stigma of those living with the disease.”
