If you're feeling a bit worn down by all the bad news, here's a good news chaser to cleanse the palate! #news open.substack.com/pub/nilesegu...

We love to blame "helicopter parenting" for why kids don't want to drive or finish school or really do much of anything. But that thinking misses the much sneakier reality of what’s actually happening. Full essay at the link in my bio!

Episode 32 of Comedians in Dungeons Getting Dragons is out now! In this episode the Top Guns try a pre-emptive strike on the baddies and @rebeccareeds.bsky.social wants to speak to the manager. Link in bio!

Trump is already road testing strategies to bail on the Iran War that he started and is losing. Luke, Ian and @nileseguin.bsky.social say there’s no bad ideas in brainstorming.

When did we move from “the customer is always right” to “sometimes the customer might be right but they’re gonna have to really work for it”?

Doug Ford just proposed making all his records secret, possibly to hide his even WORSE scheme?? Luke, Ian, and @nileseguin.bsky.social demand the release of the Fordstein Files.

Reader feedback indicates the author of our Joe Rogan/Pierre Poilievre article was insufficiently "masculine". We would like to correct the error with a more "alpha male" photo:

The Conservatives wanna stick it to WOKE LIBERALS by giving the Order Of Canada to DON CHERRY! Luke, Ian, and @nileseguin.bsky.social have some HOT TAKES about it... eventually, I guess.

I used to think pessimism was harmless. Just a difference of opinion. Then someone I know almost made a tragic decision because "the reality of the world wore them down." Cherry picking bad news doesn't make you smart. It makes you part of the problem. And it might be killing people. Link in bio.

I wrote an essay about Sinners' tricky issue with story. As always if you disagree, tell me why. Or not. I'm not your dad. #Sinners #Filmcriticism #oscars2026 nileseguin.substack.com/p/sinners-th...

Latest episode of Comedians in Dungeons Getting Dragons is out now! In this episode the Top Guns sit down to tea with an old..."friend" and things get weird.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Look, we all know Trump is running out of time, but seriously, what is that thing on his neck? @clareblackwood.bsky.social @nileseguin.bsky.social @mmmegan.bsky.social, and special guest Dave Barclay make a diagnosis.

i can’t stop laughing

Reboots are huge, and the Trump Administration have decided that Americans just can’t get enough of wars of choice in the Middle East. Ian, @ivimey.bsky.social, @mmmegan.bsky.social, and @nileseguin.bsky.social feel like they’ve seen this one before.

FBI Director Kash Patel used the Bureau jet to fly to Milan to party with the Olympic Men’s Hockey Team, for some reason. Ian, @mmmegan.bsky.social, @nileseguin.bsky.social, and Andrew @ivimey.bsky.social can’t help but be reminded of...

In prison, harming kids is where they draw the line. In politics, not so much.

If you are looking for an existential pallet cleanser, here’s some good news overflow from my better stories podcast Total Nileation. open.substack.com/pub/nilesegu....

In this episode, the Top Guns adjust to their new favourite teammate as they connect with the leadership of Ordstin, come up with a plan to trap a Servant of the Shadow and Duke confronts his biggest fear.

I wrote a piece about how One Battle After Another and how the debate around its BIPOC characters misses something important. If you disagree, tell me why. I am genuinely curious. #onebattleafteranother #film #mediacriticism #storytelling #screenwriting #politics #representation #blackhistorymonth

New Total Nileation. The stories you should be getting, but aren't. Link in bio.

Sure, people tune in to watch the greatest athletes in the world compete to raise the bar of human achievement. But something else might end up happening... Luke Gordon Field, Ian, @mmmegan.bsky.social, and @nileseguin.bsky.social stare into the abyss.

So last night’s NBA All-Star tournament featured super fun and exciting games until the World was eliminated. Then when it was just the American teams it became pretty much unwatchable. There’s a metaphor somewhere in there right?

Sure, the Right went a a little nuts about last weekend's Super Bowl. But one senator went above and beyond. Ian, Luke Gordon Field, @nileseguin.bsky.social and @mmmegan.bsky.social try not to look away.

Not satisfied with being unpleasant at home, Vice President J.D. Vance is now being unpleasant in Europe. Luke Gordon Field, Ian, @nileseguin.bsky.social and @mmmegan.bsky.social refuse to believe what Peter Thiel's pet VP insisted on bringing to Italy.
