WHEN DERRY GIRLS, the Channel 4 sitcom turned Netflix comedy juggernaut, ended in 2022 after a rapturously received threeseason run, actress Saoirse-Monica Jackson found it hard to fully separate from her character. Jackson was 23 when she was cast as Erin Quinn, the ambitious, face-pulling, somewhat arrogant ringleader of a posse of teenagers in Northern Ireland at the tail end of the Troubles. "I was growing as a young woman in my early 20s, leading this massive, successful show, and my own personal growth was so woven in and running parallel to the story lines," Jackson tells me during a late pasta lunch in early June in London's Shoreditch neighborhood. Her real life then wasn't quite as chaotic and ridiculous as Erin's, but they were learning similar lessons, like the importance of "standing up for yourself and discovering that you're enough." Even as the show earned accolades, Jackson was riddled with insecurities about her place in the industry. "I get anxiety sometimes thinking about my early 20s," Jackson says. "It feels like one big panic attack-one big blur of messy mistakes."
Jackson is petite-she is often mistaken for a teenager-with an open, friendly face; wide-set green eyes; and a snub nose capable of fantastic comedic contortions, all framed by loose blonde curls. She's funny and has the type of self-effacing charm that puts people around her at ease.

Drowning in Slop - A thriving underground economy is clogging the internet with AI garbage-and it's only going to get worse.
SLOP started seeping into Neil Clarke's life in late 2022. Something strange was happening at Clarkesworld, the magazine. Clarke had founded in 2006 and built into a pillar of the world of speculative fiction. Submissions were increasing rapidly, but âthere was something off about them,â he told me recently. He summarized a typical example: âUsually, it begins with the phrase âIn the year 2250-somethingâ and then it goes on to say the Earthâs environment is in collapse and there are only three scientists who can save us. Then it describes them in great detail, each one with its own paragraph. And thenâtheyâve solved it! You know, it skips a major plot element, and the final scene is a celebration out of the ending of Star Wars.â Clarke said he had received âdozens of this story in various incarnations.â
The City Politic- The Other Eric Adams Scandal The NYPD shot a fare evader, a cop, and two bystanders. He defends it.
On Sunday, September 15, Derell Mickles hopped a turnstile, got asked to leave by cops, then entered the subway again ten minutes later through an emergency exit. This was at the Sutter Avenue L station, out by his mother's house, five stops from the end of the line. Police said they noticed he was holding a folded knife. They followed him up the stairs to the elevated train, asking him 38 times to drop the weapon.
