It's been 15 years since Bucknell U film prof Eric Faden made "A Fair(y) Tale," a short film that explains #FairUse by stringing together short, fair-use-qualifying clips from Disney movies. It remains an amazing accomplishment!

Fair(y) Tale took 9 months to piece together as Faden painstakingly searched the corpus of Disney animation to find the literal *mots justes* for his video explainer.

15 years later, Bournemouth's Claudy Op Den Kamp and her students decided to create their own version of Fair(y) Tale - this one explaining UK #FairDealing exceptions to copyright, using clips from #TheSimpsons.

It's a stellar seven minutes! What's more, thanks to tools like Playphrase, her students were able to make this short in just eight weeks!

UK PM Boris Johnson has built a career out of running across rivers on the backs of alligators, always moving fast enough that he escapes their jaws. His career is a long string of outrageous scandals: lying, fraud, infidelity, abuse, all escaped with impunity. 1/ The poster for the 1973 Bri...

*Pixels of You* is a new young adult sf graphic novel, written by @ananthhirsh and @aidosaur and illustrated by @theyoungdoyler, published today by @ABRAMSbooks. It's a sweet, smart tale of art, bitterness, enmity and camaraderie.

*Pixels'* two protagonists are a pair of young women who have both won a coveted spot at an upscale photography gallery. 2/
Indira is the survivor of a wreck that orphaned her and led to one of her eyes being replaced with a digital camera; Fawn is a human-presenting AI whose robot "parents" sacrificed all to give her a skinsuit that lets her pass as a human. 3/
