In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely. youtu.be/R9XN1iOungs?...

You went all-in on AI without any real understanding of its capabilities and shortcomings, torched 4,000 livelihoods, and wiped 34% off the company’s stock. Maybe some actual consequences would be instructional

How about they fire the execs who made this disastrous bet

Best Red Hot Chili Peppers album imo

'The Running of the Deer' by contemporary UK artist Catherine Hyde #womensart

WOW

Critical to know that McCay drew in black and white and gave his engraver, Mr. Hunt, loose instructions. The art is McCay; the glorious color, the little-known Hunt.

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%). Lay article attached:

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse? You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

ever since i was a little boy i wanted to grow up and become a Midnight Leftovers Gremlin

You know what's a surprisingly fun part of writing? Cutting your own material for length. This can go and this can go and this whole bit is garbage! Whooop!

Reminds me of that time we found out that Jack the Ripper was actually the Loch Ness Monster

It’s Your Crucifixion, Charlie Brown

pretty lucky professor xavier's last name started with a cool letter or we might have gotten the l-men or something

This is beautiful

hey did you guys know mussolini likely assassinated himself? someone show this to that person from yesterday who said historians would be idiots for not using AI for all their research

And yeah, these are great last second gifts. Last year, several people bought them for family members. I do all genres, all forms, because I'm a weirdo and I've kind of done everything as a writer.

“Since they are Canadian, I would not rule out treachery” Fuck ALLLL the way off

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

Suggestion regarding Trump-Epstein: Don't focus on finding a smoking gun. There's already so much smoke. Most unconvinced by already-public evidence are cultists who'll deny forever (or like it). The goals should be truth, justice for victims, and an appalled scandal drumbeat that never goes away.

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

Marcel Duchamp talks about his ready-mades, 1956.

They are so incompetent lmao

"Write every day" It's definitely good to keep the ball rolling on a project so you don't lose momentum, but you don't have to write every day. It's counterproductive to think so: that way lies guilt & beating yourself up. Life happens! Go easy on yourself! Just keep writing when you can!

Have always loved reading about the Mitfords, and thoroughly enjoyed talking to Mimi Pond (who, incidentally, wrote the first Simpsons episode)

I’d rather compete in a staring contest against Erika Kirk than watch Chappelle’s new special.

It's the moment you've been waiting for this holiday season: @comicsjournal.bsky.social is out with a mega-compilation of the best comics and graphic novels of the year. Join me and 30+ other TCJ contributors as we tell you what last-minute books to thrust at people. www.tcj.com/the-best-com...

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

The Ford Pinto, our barometer for unsafe vehicle, had 27 deaths

The Ellisons want Trump’s support for their hostile takeover of Warner Bros. But Trump has been unhappy with recent episodes of 60 Minutes — hence the CECOT segment removal. Business leaders and the press surrendering to Trump is a danger to us all. A tyrant can't be appeased.

I'm pleased to announce I am one of the jurors for the 2026 Sunburst Awards for Excellence in Canadian Literature of the Fantastic! www.sunburstaward.org/jury/2026 I've been enjoying the submitted books so far & I am looking forward to working with my fellow jurors to select a winner!

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

I used to hate Christmas in Vancouver because I grew up in Ottawa where December is usually snowy. Here, it's usually raining. But now I think it's kind of charming that everyone here still does Christmas activities in the rain because they're so determined to have a good time.

Easy survey to fill out. Five minutes.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells. Americans once opposed this inhumane system. The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

What if we kissed next to the Christmas axolotl

i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

A friend of mine had to go into work sick to lead a presentation. She thought she just had a bad cold, but it turned out to be the flu. Within days she was down for the count. None of her co-workers got sick. Why? When she went into work, she considered her co-workers and she wore a mask.
