Federal statistics show US border authorities seized 21,889 pounds of fentanyl in the 2024 fiscal year. Of that amount, 43 pounds were seized at the Canadian border — about 0.2% — compared with 21,148 pounds at the Mexican border, about 96.6%.

I smelled bullshit, but I wasn't 100% sure, so I went looking. And yeah, it's total bullshit.

This is how you sound Americans!!!

Sewing pattern for part of a shirt. It is clearly made from a dark brown manuscript page with small lettering written in two columns.

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern.

I've struggled with the blase attitude toward COVID since approximately 2021. It will continue to baffle and disappoint me about our collective incapacity for empathy.

How to make an author love you: ask your library to carry their book; recommend their book; borrow their book from the library; buy their book; review their book on retail sites - you can review even if you didn't buy it there!

Love reading? How would you like to make an author love you? 💙💙💙💙💙

Speaking about AI: It's wrong now but it'll improve with training.

I'm honoured to be a part of this fantastic anthology! Everyone was a joy to work with, and truly brought out the best.

I asked my 5yo nephew what Daft Punk song he's excited to hear at the laser light show.

Him, with side-eye: "I know ALL of it."
