The Residence was a glorious mystery romp. Well cast, right down to Kylie Minogue's scene stealing moments.

The end title card has me in my feels. My heart goes out to the cast, having lost Andre Braugher mid production and having to reshoot while grieving.

People who contort facts to excuse exaggerated, deliberate gestures of hatred should be scrutinized and handed books on fascism.

There is no interpretation. It was a Nazi salute. Twice. Once to Elon's leader, once to the crowd after pointing out how historically significant things were. Context.

I Am a Disappointed Trump Voter Who Was Told It Would Be the Past by Now Well, they say you should never trust a politician, and it seems I’ve been duped. For months before and since I cast my vote for Donald J. Trump—an...

"I was promised that my vote would bring an end to DEI, ERGs, CSR, and LGBTQ, leaving only real American letters like UFC and EIEIO. And yet, when I showed up to work this morning, not a single one of my female co-workers had vanished in a puff of smoke."

If we entertain your premise, at best case scenario, Elon intentionally did a bad version of a salute to please Nazis and stir up Liberals to further stir division. That's best case. That's still horrific.

Occam's Razor disagrees with you, however. Elon's actions speak plain.

It's giving, "But we didn't know!" as the bodies burned a mile outside town.

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart / On an unrelated note, how do you feel about spleens?

For 35 Years 'Gremlins' Has Warned of Cultural Appropriation An inventor of wild gadgets can’t get his family just any old normal thing for Christmas

An inventor of wild gadgets can’t get his family just any old normal thing for Christmas, so when Rand Peltzer (Hoyt Axton) finds an exotic animal called mogwai in Chinatown he has to have it for his son Billy (Zach Galligan).

✨✨✨Just a reminder that there's no GST on books until mid February. Consider buying books from independent bookshops by Canadian authors published by independent Canadian presses this holiday season.❤️📚

Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators.

The beginning lyrics to Liz Phair's wonderfully filthy song, "Flower," maps perfectly onto Mariah Carey's "all I want for Xmas," if you are looking to make holiday music more interesting.

As someone who listened to an hour of the Lemon verse in Priyanka's Come Through, I assure you that I am not dissuaded that easily.

Oh same! I love reading horror personally. I just don't write it myself. Trying to find people of all genres in the community to follow and definitely not finding as many in my area yet.

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic' Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

Kat Tenbarge interviewed me about the migration to Bluesky among journalists.

It's easy to see why it's happening.

It's easier to find news, harder to spread disinfo, trolls don't drown out the good content, and links are not deprioritized.

It's a breath of fresh air for journalism to thrive in.

I'm more mystery/upmarket fiction over here but I've certainly noticed that trend.

Easy Gluten Free Stuffing Recipe This gluten free stuffing is so moist and full of flavor that it's even good as leftovers. The hit of the holiday table!

This is the base recipe I use. I use store-bought bread. The one change is I toss the bread cubes in a few tablespoons of butter with chicken bouillon mix for toasting for extra flavour, and I like fresh sage (Google the equivalent). Don't skip the Parm!

This stuffing slander deeply offends me.

Some of you have never had quality stuffing and it shows.

I also make stuffing randomly throughout the year. Because it slays.

Stuffing and pie are the only reasons I come to these meals. And I have to make a special gluten-free stuffing for myself. Y'all aren't making stuffing correctly if you don't like it.

The secret is fresh sage and a dash of parmesan reggiano, you're welcome.

American Thanksgiving always perplexes me because why does anyone want two turkeys in two months?

It's also perplexing that our Thanksgiving is in October, and yet we have Black Friday sales... On a work day🙃

In any case, may your stuffing be delicious because it's the best part.

What else are you going to do? Fall back on your original plan of being a marine biologist? Of course not, you would have wiped out entire ecosystems. You can barely even get yourself to drink water regularly! You're a creative writer.

I would love to see it!

It is such a solid collection! I still pull it out and re-read it.

Change of Season began with the tunnels. It began with Autumn in the tunnels, fleeing an unseen threat and colliding with a body in the darkness. That sequence came first, once I abandoned the short film version of the one subplot and brought it into a larger world.

From there, I built the world.

This quote is probably the closest thing I've ever read to explaining what I do.

My work always begins as a sped up film of a specific part of the story. From there, I'm always building it out in each direction.

An example...
