Thanks for this! It flagged for us that the publisher had sent the wrong file and so we couldn't make it available for sale. Getting fixed now.

Search engine optimization requires that every recipe begins with 4 paragraphs of origin story about how the cook suffered a devastating motocross/collective-farming accident where they would have died if they hadn't substituted a squash for spaghetti.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”

MRNA vaccines! Solar, wind and tidal power! Cancer immunotherapies! Space telescopes! Desert stabilization planting programs! Fusion research! Alzheimer's research!

(And a few really nice reading technologies that aren't bad either...)

What a game! Sid goes down hurt and the whole team finds a new gear. Guys in supporting roles become instant stars. And Binnington continues to build his place in the pantheon of Canadian goalies. 🇨🇦 #TeamCanada #Olympics2026

Curling is every hour of every day. Jump on board!

If it's a problem, I want more people to share it. 😀

Back-to-back Canadian hockey is giving me everything I need this morning. Canadian women absolutely handled the Finns, dusting off after the US, and now Canadian men are up and you can see Connor McDavid just vibrating off his skates to get in there and mix it up. Set the tone!! 🇨🇦

That is 100% OG! They really do last for a long long time. Thanks for reading with us and I'm so glad you're loving your Libra Colour - it's my daily ereader too. 👍

You know the only thing better than an ereader with buttons? MOAR BUTTONS!!

I tried the Kobo Remote, the viral e-book gadget that keeps selling out The Kobo Remote is the e-reader accessory I scoffed at before enjoying, but you probably don't need one.

Loving this Express review. -->

"after using the Kobo Remote, I think I get it. And hey, if there’s one screen in my life that it’s not so bad to be staring at, it’s my Kobo's."

Yes, you don't think you need it. Yes, you should have it anyway. We're in the small, joyful improvements business.

Thanks for reading with us! We really do appreciate it 🎂

Going through the Toronto international terminal today is a *scene. People headed to Milan for the Olympics, so much Canadian flag gear everywhere. Folks have dug out their old stuff from 2010 or 2014. it’s pretty fantastic. 🥰🇨🇦

No one is endorsing my Olympic addition: "Moguls, but one out of every 10 moguls is actually a snow-covered wild boar". 🐗 It's entertaining *and* Italian. The Olympic Committee lacks vision and I'm a little hurt.

Dear Canada | By Connor McDavid I want to get back there again, whatever it takes.

Here's Connor McDavid on representing Canada and making me all misty before #TeamCanada even hits the ice: "And I remember looking around and there was Sid, Marchy, Doughty. And I really just remember how calm they were. They weren’t afraid of the moment."

(Also, they had to pause for a minute because there was blood on the ice? Jocelyn Peterman said "I killed an animal". Bug? Mosquito? Wolverine? I for one am very excited to see Canada bringing more violence to curling.)

Canada 🇨🇦 wins vs. Czechia in mixed doubles curling! Decisive win by Canada, and a disappointing performance by CBC Gem that we're really hoping gets sorted out before things get rolling on Friday. 👍

Resist and Unsubscribe

And if this whole thing is unfamiliar to you, here's some info:
www.resistandunsubscribe.com

It can be tough to untangle yourself from Seattle-based documentary producers, as well as other nefarious ecosystems, but if you do, it sends a message *and* helps to create alternatives for authors who are trying to diversify their income streams.

For anyone who is doing @profgalloway.com's economic protest #resistandunsubscribe February, it's the perfect time to give Kobo a try: ebooks, audiobooks, Kobo Plus, the most gorgeous ereaders, all from generally non-problematic Canadians. Give it a month. There's a whole other world out here 😀

And then the *Paralympics*! (All the sports, but way harder!) And outfits. And Opening Ceremonies choreography. Don't say you weren't warned. 🏒⛸️🎿🛷🇨🇦

Please note: this account flips to a #WinterOlympics2026 Team Canada 🇨🇦 fan account starting Feb 4th. I'll still help out with ereaders and anti-fascism or whatever, but only if you're also willing to hear about the Canadian women's hockey team, downhill skiing snow conditions, and so much curling...

Stop mutant-ifying our ereaders!

Tell me more! What do you use the words for?

If we ever decide to choose AI violence, it's good to know we have options 😂

Turns out it's a weird one: This seems to be a Reddit platform issue. They have an "optimize" function that uses AI to change sizes/formats. We don't use it, but somehow it modified our original photography anyway. We’re currently looking into what caused this to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Yeah - not sure what happened there. We are chasing it down. Uuuugly.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
