Margaret Atwood’s memoir: ‘I cackle as I give the plot a good twist’ In Book of Lives, the Canadian novelist talks about her writing and life, from being a bullied ‘flat-chested weirdo’ to losing her partner of 46 years

"Where else will you read that the octogenarian Jean Rhys loved to shop at Miss Selfridge?" I reviewed Margaret Atwood's memoir Book of Lives - her 65th book in 65 years - featuring school bullies, an opera about home economics, and the end of the Second World War ("As I recall, it was drizzling").

Europe’s gas prices are still far above the U.S.

Sept 2025: $11.1 vs $3.0 per MMBtu — nearly 4× higher.

Even before the crisis, Europe paid more.

The only lasting fix? Less gas, more renewable energy, more efficiency and more clean electrification. ⚡️

My congratulations to all Baseball Perverts. It was their "super bowl" last night and it seems they all had a very bad time (in their culture that's how you have a good time)

People gotta eat. Period. What is the problem? The only issue I see is that everyone should always have enough food and/or access to food but they don't. That's the only shameful part to me.

Let’s eat more duck, easy to cook and such a beautiful rich flavour. Lemon, garlic confit, rosemary and cracked pepper in the cavity. Extra rich scallop potato’s and mixed heritage carrots. I really encourage you to try this.

Its important to note that misinformation isn't a product of uneducated people being allowed to express themselves freely on the internet. Its a product of very educated and connected people producing, promoting and distributing misinformation on a massive scale so their taxes stay low.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

"Shouting, applause, cheering and the use of glow sticks" will be allowed during special screenings of Evangelion movies in certain Japanese theaters in November 👏 (for the 30th anniversary of the series).

It’s hard to want to keep doing it full-time, despite how much I have *always* loved VO. And that’s coming from me, someone who isn’t solely relying on it to sustain myself rn.

I want to be able to just be an actor again. Not also a streamer, accountant, writer, editor, personal assistant, etc…….

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

Don't say the second when you mean the first.

Why are young people spending so much money?

“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

“Don’t you think you’re too old to be Trick-or-Treating?”

SIR, I AM 55 YEARS OLD. I AM TOO OLD TO GIVE A SHIT.

If you want to know how the print journalism industry is doing, yesterday I paid three bucks for the major newspaper of my town, and barely ended up with enough pages to cover my table before I started carving pumpkins.

Halloween Treats and finally watching Corpse Bride 😍🎃

My big crank art theory is that the art of producing and consuming art forms a kind of Hegelian dialectic which creates a unique experience not just for each person, but unique in the same person every time it is consumed, if that makes any sense

WOW first time I've captured a tern with a double catch! Not perfectly in focus, but pretty damn good! 🪶

sometimes a line from a movie will burrow into your brain and make a little home in there

“how can that be profitable for frito-lay?” owns a nice little beachfront condo in mine

If I wanted to stoke widespread civil unrest, I might let SNAP benefits lapse the same day I updated ACA marketplace prices.

Happy Halloween

Have raised $1,000 today for the local food bank through my job and I honestly have restored a small sliver of faith in humanity.

My wife once learned she was the secret love child of Ina Garten and Danny DeVito and she felt really insecure about it, so I assured her, “Ina Garten/Devito Baby, don’t you know that I love you?”

Ultra Q: Dark Fantasy feels designed to leave you with lingering questions and unresolved strange feelings in most episodes. The cinematography and writing and just sublime early 2000s camera use makes it ethereal and beautiful and melancholically fleeting, often deliberately. Eminent favourite.
