Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

chuffed.org/project/rma help my friend after they were laid off! the job market is so hostile rn. :”)

More Krasznahorkai

Someone who ignored me in high school is now a writer and I’m seeing her face pop up. Do the horrors never end? #canlit

If it's so fucking useful then go do that useful thing with it! Make something that doesn't look like lazy shit! File a bunch of legal briefs that don't make a judge want to vaporize you where you stand! Fuck off!

If you're going to moan about it, at least have the courtesy to do it on LinkedIn or into your neighbor's Ring camera

Just a couple years ago it was "have fun being poor," "your job is going away, you're being replaced loser," "you better reskill because this is the only thing that matters now." So yeah I'm hostile to the idea and I think everyone into it is a thief and a loser

Read a book or play Doom, I don't give a shit what feelings you think a spreadsheet has

"We should consider the possibility" no they should consider the possibility of eating shit

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

I have raised a monster

Most Canadians no longer give a shit what you guys think.

Rockwell would have painted this.

no joke here, just a reminder that the ultra wealthy do not see you as human but rather as a resource to extract for profit

everything I have learned about sydney sweeney has been against my will

Sweet Caroline is written about Caroline Kennedy who was 11 at the time. Neil Diamond saw a picture of her and wrote it - he was 28 at the time and of no relation……

Loved this one too.

*heavy sigh*

Oh wow. Bud Cort passed too. HAROLD AND MAUDE is an all-timer. One of the sweetest, most empathetic movies ever made.

Harold and Maude is a movie that speaks specifically to its time, but which I mean any time between 1971 and forever. Rest In Peace, Bud Cort.

RIP Bud Cort. Harold, Brewster and so much more.

The Attorney General of the United States refusing to look at or acknowledge Epstein Survivors today in a House Judiciary hearing. The world is watching. History will remember. 📸 Roberto Schmidt

Watching Keeper felt like when I’d breathlessly watch J-horror movies as a teenager. 💕

absolutely obsessed with Osgood Perkins' KEEPER; simply an incredible film -- the bathroom door; I'm never getting over that detail

Sometimes people come into your life, and that’s got to stop.

Family grieving child lost in B.C. school shooting wants people to focus on the victims, not the perpetrator www.cp24.com/news/canada/...

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

Land Back is not just a possibility. It is happening. Much more than people realize.

In business school (I know, kill me) we learned about the persuasion knowledge model, which more or less means that the more experience a consumer has with ads, the more likely they are to resist them and even become hostile to the advertiser under the right circumstances once immersion is broken.

oh yeah, that reminds me of one of my many moral failings

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

The shooter had a history of mental illness and self-harm that went neglected and unaddressed by a garbage mental health system. We live in hell.

Sometimes I think about all the deeply sexist, homophobic and transphobic boys I went to school with and wonder if they killed themselves. They probably had stupid spawn that they’re in the process of passing their hatred on down to.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

People who can say whatever insane shit they want to whoever they want, on Twitter, without any fear of losing their job: a president a Canadian literary prize director a tenured professor

The timeline is incredibly grim and heavy right now. It's ok to log out and go do other things. Get outside if you can. Walk, breathe, make some food. Please, please, please reach out to a friend or loved one if you need to talk. Much love to you all.

Ended up going with some Korean short stories.

All I’ve wanted to do is immerse myself in creepiness, so these are my next reads. I’m also going to watch Mother of Flies on Shudder. #horror

I give @mark-carney.bsky.social a lot of shit for his policy, but his reaction to the Tumbler Ridge tragedy was very clearly heartfelt. It reminded me of what I liked about him during the campaign, but obviously in a different way. Seeing a world leader visibly choke up.... that matters.

This was an insane rant, so naturally I liked it.

Found it really hard to concentrate today but I did manage to read a couple of chapters of three different books. (I am in the habit of reading a bunch of books at the same time. It serves me well at times like this when my brain is feeling restless.) #BookHopping vs #Doomscrolling

I just think not caring about what happens to other people is gonna be the death of literally all of us if it’s not checked.

I hate being alive in a world where one of the worst mass shootings in Canada’s history is immediately being used to hose hatred on a marginalized group. Like, holy fucking shit I don’t want to be on this planet.

The news today is too much. I’m going out to buy a book. I don’t know which book.

This is horrifying.

Just finished Bad Cree and it's incredible. Exceeded every expectation.
