Not shown: Jim complaining about how loud it was when the bunnies chowed down on cabbage right next to his ear. Worth it, tho!

This survey is super-biased but please do take the time to speak out against this stupid expansion. A point I repeatedly made: Toronto Pearson Airport just announced a $3B expansion plan. That negates the need to expand Billy Bishop as well: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

That seems not great.

There's a special place in hell for the people at Diamond and their legal team. Hopefully @paizo.com and @greenroninpub.bsky.social get the wins they deserve in court. In the meantime, support both. They make great games and don't deserve this. #TTRPG

Further innovations in drone usage from Ukraine: rescuing kittens & mom-cat from a dangerous front-line spot.

This is Max's stare when he wants to go to bed.

This is Oliver and he is ah-maz-zing

I tracked down this article, which is several CEO quotes used as a lead-in to advice on "how to shield your assets from inflation", shilling three fractional ownership investment services (which make money via people investing in them). Rather than turtles, it's scorpions & frogs all the way down.

That is the work of a great man.

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

I think the majority of the books for this year's Gen Con booth have arrived. Come to booth 1349 to meet @howardtayler.bsky.social , @sandratayler.bsky.social , @jimzub.com , and @stacyking.com . #gencon #gencon2026 #schlockmercenary #conan

I'm not sure why folks like @scalzi.com are messing around with novels when clearly the real science fiction writing of the future is in corporate financials.

Submitted my graphic novel script a whole 3.5 hours before the deadline, go me!

Two notes: one, US collectors who resell through a 3rd party vendor need to know the consignment law detailed in this legal review of this case, and two, I would be unsurprised if Lego is looking at legal options to sever their BAM contracts due to brand reputation damage. youtu.be/14ktgvoH4Mc?...

Watched "Tiger on the Beat" 1 & 2 last night with a few friends. The 2nd one was mediocre, but the first was entertaining in an 'if you're not enjoying the movie right now, wait five minutes and it will shift into a different genre' way. Also: chainsaw sword fight 🔗🪚⚔️👊

Seems like hella good news.

Canadian friends! Do you know awesome people in Vancouver who might be interested in microfunding amazing community projects in Greater Vancouver? I've seen so many awesome western Canadian projects come apply to @awesomefoundgta.bsky.social. A local BC chapter would make such an impact ✨

This feels like the worst variation on "how Peter Parker got his powers" from any of the Spiderverses.

This post inspired my partner to some early morning baking, which means I woke up to the smell of fresh-baked banana bread. Social media can still be a force for good in the world, sometimes.

Thread on Marcia Lucas, the editor whose insights helped craft some of cinema's most iconic moments.

is it too late to post this

Anyone who has found success as a writer or an artist or a musician has had to put a piece of themselves out there to be judged by the masses and that takes guts. Maybe that's why I get so mad about it. AI people aren't just lazy and incurious, they're cowards too. Stealing from people with guts

We uhh... Totally didn't forget that today is our birthday. Nope. Not at all. Definitely not forgetting things in our old age. We're not having a senior moment. You are. But! We're 54 year's old today! 🥳 To celebrate, all books are 15% off for the remainder of the day in-store and online!

I've been going to Sneaky Dee's long enough that I can remember their original location across from Honest Ed's (another Toronto icon now RIP). Watching people hollow out this city's heart is exhausting and infuriating in equal measure.

Don't just snigger about AI companies hiring creative humans, read through the article for some useful insights about what that means about their future plans & the possible direction of creative work. (I mean, do snigger because it's hilarious, but ALSO read the analysis)

Imagine trying to update "Anne of Green Gables". A huge part of the book's ongoing appeal is the escape it offers into a different place and time, a world unlike your own but populated by entirely relatable characters and situations. Anne using a slate instead of an iPad is not a barrier to readers.

I remember reading about this Vivos bunker community build about 6-7 years ago. Unsurprising to see how it's been going so far (archive link if needed): archive.is/zaTgc

I cannot wait to watch this with @dthalliday.bsky.social .

There is another Fight Ford protest at Queen's Park this Saturday. Do you hate: paving the lake? taking away the board of education and the ttc? having no doctor or hospital? that asking questions of the government is now illegal? MANY OTHER THINGS? Join us.

I'm really loving VILLIAN so far, but also wondering what exactly my husband did to deserve this fictional fate (jk). (It might be a coincidence, but in a book about supervillains, that seems unlikely....)

Our latest book has been backed to where it'll be an 80-page, black-and-white print-on-demand book (plus PDF in color.) With 100 more backers we can afford offset printing, so the PRINTING will be in color. It's gonna be a great book regardless. Join us! www.kickstarter.com/projects/how...

I'm not happy about writing this, but too many people I care about are hurting, and it's preventable. medium.com/@jakeorlowit... #Wikipedia

I initially offered to monitor Jim's chats while he streamed games but he said it wasn't necessary, leading us to this situation.

This makes me wish I hadn't sucked so badly at tap when I took lessons during middle grade.

I genuinely love this for her. Being connected with your body is so hard in our modern world, especially when trauma is involved, but it's such an essential part of being human.

Oh. Huh. TIL why themes of persecution are so common in schizophrenia, regardless of your culture and upbringing; it's about the specific part of your brain schizophrenia is breaking. youtube.com/shorts/58Hkf...
