I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

One of the most important Canadian contributions to the International Space Station is Canadarm2. But it is not the only one. Another significant contribution is Dextre, the two-armed robot that handles repairs on the space station. This is the story. 📸 NASA 🧵 1/7

Treaty of Versailles you say. What, Munich wasn’t available?

A classic of the genre

I’ve crunched the numbers, and in order to even out the past 56 years, Karma needs to provide me with an eight-figure lottery win. Just sayin’.

Just for the record, if I were to become a trillionaire, I would put it to good use. You know, feed people who are starving, et cetera. No one human can possibly benefit themselves more with a trillion dollars than they could a billion, and who really needs a billion dollars’ worth of anything?!

6:28 AM ADT, and I’m craving carrot cake. This is inconvenient.

The window placement makes me smile.

Available now! I'll Be With You in a Moment is a bittersweet and darkly funny coming-of-age story about the strange power of friendship and the fear of being seen. What happens when time stands still? Eventually it has to start again, and then it goes all too fast.

Why did they call it Bluesky and not…

Democrats should gerrymander the hell out of their districts. Neutralize Republican voters. Supreme Court is cool with it so just flex until MAGA cries uncle. Fight fire with fire. You cant be Civil with fascists.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

It’s America’s most notorious unsolved murder. Two men said they know who did it. Then came the fallout. slate.trib.al/eVTiFil

I really wanted to become a monk. But I never got the chants.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

This is the first spring since 2007 that I haven’t had a dog with whom to share it. It’s really getting to me.

44 years ago today, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed into law. It laid the foundation for a stronger, more just Canada. It is up to us all to protect the values of freedom and equality enshrined in the Charter — to keep building a better Canada, for all.

Winning Prizes is a collection of essays dealing with topics ranging from faith, murder, love of place as well as historical and literary individuals. David Adams Richards writes passionately about individuality and the courage it takes to strike out on one’s own.

If’s not a genuine NASA event for me unless I hear Rob Navias. So glad to hear him this evening! Who else is awaiting splashdown? #spacetweep #ArtemisII #Artemis2
