Doug Ford took out a full-page ad vilifying homeless people because he’s a horrible person and somehow an even worse premier. We know where the real danger lies in this province.

Most important novel about the work of research, it dependence on and competition with other work—very timely in its discussion of who gets to do what work & under what conditions, but refreshingly non-presentist in consideration of the professional banishment of researchers from the 1920s/30s on🩵💙

Gabrielle Drolet's first book, Look Ma, No Hands: A Chronic Pain Memoir, was published by McClelland & Stewart, and was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award. Journalist Sarah Hagi called the book “a remarkable debut from an incredible voice.” Listen to our conversation:

Got an email from the university magazine sharing all their new stories. At least 8 of them were about using AI to do x. So, so embarrassing. We are the biggest university in the country, & one of the biggest in the world. We are doing a hell of a lot more than applying AI to this, that & the other.

alas, I remember a time when nyt writers hallucinated reporting about canada all by themselves

private details of health and social vulnerabilities students disclose in comms to their faculty are precisely what makes data of young people - soon to make the largest spending decisions of their life like more education debt, car ownership, home ownership - valuable enough to force platform use

obv some irony — or poetry, har har — in this given Spahr’s (excellent) recent work on poetry’s toxic and insular prize culture, but sometimes when the actually good shit, the real Marxist shit, the brilliant later work of a brilliant long career wins there’s no reason not to celebrate !!!!!!!!!

lovely to be read so well, thank you @johnattridge.bsky.social !!

“this is still what we do as people who write poetry — we are not renouncing this desire that is poetry by recognizing that politics sometimes wants other things of us. And it may be that we feel the need to engage the present situation with poems”

Yeah, NY Times, where HAVE all the book reviews gone? You used to run one six days a week in the daily paper, now there are none. That wasn't AI's fault, that was the conscious decision by your editors. It takes some gall for you to run an essay with this title. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/b...
