Now listen to Devil Without a Cause 🤣

I looked in the dictionary, 'cause it's what I do, to confirm the correct spelling of conservative in this context is a-s-s-h-o-l-e.

Sure, Donny. Off you go with that.

I think these go under the General Bullshittery heading along with "billionaires are the true victims" etc.

Gold standard for hardship, that one.

Curtis would likely agree.

A lesson from "Sowing the Seeds of Love" might be appropriate nowadays.

Mingle, chat, have a drink, buy a book, have it signed, ask a question, and rub shoulders with the literati while I attempt my best Eleanor Wachtel at the mic. See you there!

Less than two weeks from the literary event of the summer: join Giles Blunt and company on August 6 at Noonan's Pub, 141 Danforth Ave, for the launch of Giles's new novel, Bad Juliet, published by Dundurn Press.

Sure. Why not.

Well, there was that time he kissed Andrew Garfield... twice, even. (Fainting couch to the ready!)

Discovery should be interesting, if a lawsuit does go ahead, which it likely won't. (But what is "likely" these days? . . . except for more lunacy.)

I worked on two of these lovely books ("The Upending of Wendall Forbes" and "Product of Italy, Made in Canada") and will definitely grab the Brit Griffin title. If you're looking for great small press books to read this fall, this little stack from @latitude46pub.bsky.social won't steer you wrong.

Put $5 mil towards Canadian small press funding and we'll call it a better investment.

I think at this point it's time to reboot the Matrix.

Said before but bears repeating: an alien abduction would now be a rescue mission.

I'll be at Jobsite Brewing in Stratford, ON, this coming Saturday with some @latitude46pub.bsky.social books on the table. Come down and mingle; buy a book (or two) (or more).

He says he has all the cards but he's always used a marked deck. It's always about the cheat.

They'd have to make the opening larger.

Apply that construction rate to the Ontario Line and we'd be looking at an opening date of September 1, 2290 (or thereabouts) for that one.

Violence is coming to define American political life | Stephen Marche Spectacular violence like Trump’s military parade and real violence like Melissa Hortman’s assassination are part of a growing trend

I wrote a piece for The Guardian about the spike in political violence. The question: When do we start calling this what it is?

Cover of Birch and Jay showing two figures with their backs to the viewer in a hazy, firey landscape that shows towers of a city in the far distance.

Got an acceptance on an essay submission yesterday — sure, it was solicited for a collection, but a solicit doesn't mean automatic acceptance, so that's a win.

Here’s a public service announcement from me about ‘Birch and Jay’ and why you (and your teens) should read it. #booksky #postapocalyptic #youngadult #climatechange

Symbols aren’t hollow tokens - they have meaning. I can’t imagine living in a world where I don’t have to think about my safety every time I leave the house. This video shows the power of symbols dismissed as ‘DEI’.

Relax into it... you'll be fine. Fifty is the nifty. 😁🎂

Is that cover done by a singing/rapping computer?

The hidden path taken.

"The Running Man" comes to mind.

I'm curious about this one, although I'm not sure how many Supermen there are now — I have enjoyed them all for their own strengths.
