Terry Anderson is the executive director of Cartoonists Rights, a nonprofit founded to protect the rights of editorial cartoonists under threat. A professional cartoonist of some 30 years’ experience based near Glasgow, Scotland, he was a founding member of the Scottish Cartoon Art Studio and a past president of the Scottish Artists Union. He was the first non-Francophone to receive the Prix Gérard Vandenbroucke at the Salon International de la Caricature, du Dessin de Presse et d’Humour for his services to cartoonists.
The title is a reference to the often-misquoted advice of Arthur Quiller-Couch, that writers must be willing to edit out their most finely written passages if they fail to serve the piece as a whole: "Murder your darlings."
The story is about the college days of some of the early members of the Beat Generation (Lucien Carr, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac), their interactions, and Carr's killing of his long-time friend David Kammerer in Riverside Park in Manhattan, New York City.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Gates or Steve Jobs have built online avenues for human flourishing and social organising, but they’re also billionaires who helped maintain the wealth disparities, crippling mobility and living standards to nihilist collapse."
“ 'Electronic communities build nothing,' Vonnegut proclaimed in 2005’s A Man Without a Country. 'You wind up with nothing. We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something.' ”

"I want you to know what shrapnel, and "88's"and mortar shells and mustard gas mean. I want you to feel, no matter how vicariously, a semblance of the feeling of a torn limb, a burnt patch of flesh; the crippling, numbing sensation of fear; the hopeless emptiness of fatigue. All these things are complementary to the province of war and friction, and they should be taught in classrooms along with the more heroic aspects of uniforms and flags, honor and patriotism."

"Today, the few remaining comic strips with any wit or originality can be found online, free of censorship, deadlines, or panel restrictions. It's hard to blame them for sticking with a format that allows for both more creative freedom and more creative control. But it's frustrating and baffling that newspapers, for all their reach, haven't even attempted to draw on the explosion of talent you can find online."

“Documentaries” on the Discovery, History, and National Geographic channels are military-made commercials for weapons. “Inside Combat Rescue” on National Geographic is recruitment propaganda. Captain Marvel exists to sell the Air Force to women. Actress Jennifer Garner has made recruitment ads to accompany movies she’s made that are themselves more effective recruitment ads. A movie called The Recruit was largely written by the head of the CIA’s entertainment office. Shows like NCIS push out the military’s line. But so do shows you wouldn’t expect: “reality” TV shows, game shows, talk shows (with endless reunifications of family members), cooking shows, competition shows, etc."
The CIA translated and distributed "Doctor Zhivago" (1957) by Boris Pasternak throughout the world.
