It's officially the pub day for "DILF: DID I LEAVE FEMINISM!" I can't show you a photo of my book on my desk because I DON'T HAVE ONE! You can get one, though, from your LOCAL BOOKSHOP! Here is A USEFUL LINK! bookshop.org/p/books/dilf...

Call me a luddite if you like - but I don't want a bed that stops working when Amazon Web Services goes down. www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Discord: So, yeah, we’re going to change your notification sounds to Halloween themed Me: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT Just make it opt-in. Seriously. God. Why is every company awful?

Me an international Art Police officer grabbing a thief surrounded by his spoils. "I have you at last! Jail for you! For ten thousand years!" Art Thief "But I'm using it to train my AI." Me. "Me, oh, sorry, be about your business. I'll close the door on my way out."

if you're in Alberta and you want your flu and covid shot in 2026 - yes you read that correctly - you have to preorder them right now. So here's the link. go do that. Just in case none of those people get removed from power by then. please repost this, as the province seems bent on killing us.

I think Sunday mornings are often my favourite time of the week. It’s 11 am. I’m sipping a London fog, got Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe playing, spaghetti sauce in the slow cooker. The day brims with possibility; the weekend is not yet over.

Listening to the Thanksgiving Arthur Award episode of Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe and, as usual, this podcast makes me bawl my eyes out while doing ordinary household tasks because it’s just so KIND.

Catching up on this new season of Hell's Kitchen and there's copaganda in episode 3—not that I'm surprised, mind you 🙃

I really want to see an interview with a spokesperson for one of those inflatable costume producers being asked how they feel about this unanticipated new customer base

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

And Remember: spreading fascist bullshit around to dunk on it is still spreading fascist bullshit around.

My toxic trait is always knitting with circular needles, even when I'm not knitting in the round

Of course, we need system-level changes! But under no circumstances should we discourage people from changing high-impact behaviors like eating less meat, reducing air travel, or consuming less. If people can change now, they should. There’s no reason to wait for the perfect system to arrive first!

Hot take: season 1 of TNG is better than season 2.

I don’t favour the end of door-to-door mail delivery. That being said, we should have a conversation about how much of “the mail” these days comprises flyers and other junk mail.

Three-day weekends are the best. I wish we had more of them 😭

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Oh the joys of labelling room measurements in both Imperial and metric because you're in Canada and we can't decide 😅

For my friends in the UK...

This is truly grotesque. Teachers should not be using this stuff. If a school was pushing it on teachers who work with kids I care about, I'd make a big effing stink until they stopped. We have to not give into this.

This is a) utterly terrifying and b) vital. Don’t turn away. The crisis is fixable because it is, ultimately, political. We know the chemistry. We decline the action necessary.

Me, every holiday Monday: But it really, really is a holiday today? I really have the day off?

become the Roko's Basilisk you would like to see in the world

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand: Poutine OtherLife (its depiction of solitary confinement traumatized me) Sweet Caroline

one big hint that the Anglo Canadian French education system doesn't give a shit about actual functional understanding is that it teaches Metropolitan French rather than Québecois French you know, the primary version of French that's *actually spoken* in Canada

I mean, I'm an atheist. I think that atheists really owe it to themselves and others to acknowledge harms done in its name, just as it's important for Christians to acknowledge the harms done in their name.

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

I’ve never watched The Wire (not my thing), but every time I have heard his takes on writing David Simon has always had something good to say. This is no exception.

I have taken the freedom of speech that was in the Constitution and which you were probably using for peaceful protest Forgive me the courts said they were so agitating and so irritating

As is so often the case, @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social is correct defector.com/taylor-swift...

Want to spin-off Canada Post? Fine, make it a worker-owned co-op

Here's where I land on Star Trek: SNW season 3: it was bad and it should feel bad. Quite possibly the worst season of NuTrek to date. Yes, worse than DISCO S1. Yes, worse than PIC S3. Or PIC S2. Or PIC S1.

Elbows down, I guess

This atheist will pray for Dolly

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Solidarity with Alberta teachers facing a lockout because they're fighting for better working conditions and learning conditions. ✊

haha his little cardigan. lil picardi-cardi. picardigan.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

The bubble will pop. The economy will crash. And a thousand NYT, WaPo, and WSJ op-eds will scream, "Why did no one see this coming?" 🙃

Honestly vibe coding does explain how it's so easy to take over a Federation starship

Surely next time Taylor Swift will release an album about how she’s the exact type of leftist I am

Lately I’ve deliberately procrastinated my planning until Sunday night. This short-circuits the perfectionist within: I am forced to say “this has to be good enough” instead of spending hours upon hours producing something that is only incrementally better than “good enough.”
