Yes, let’s talk about the significance of the behaviour of the pets in the White House. That sure is important right now, Atlantic. Well done.

Oh this is awesome.

Oh my God how I do hate species & varieties Unhappy Birthday Charles Darwin

Happy birthday Charles Darwin!

My favourite hater.

Today I learned that all you have to do to piss off the WeRateDogs guy is embark upon a corporate-sponsored Orwellian mass-surveillance program and try to whitewash (dogwash?) it with adorable puppies. 16/10

Classic.

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

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.

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

Science fiction has always been about “predicting” the present, not the future.

First time I’ve ever had to solve remotely (not counting the two years of pandemic when everyone had to). Having as much fun as I can. Better than nothing!

It's Kent State All Over With the same result

This is not a happy read, but in my opinion, it’s spot on.

10-year-old me thought I’d be living in space by 2026. This is bullshit.

"Because if you believe literally all of these recent uses by Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec are justified - not legally valid, not ‘constitutional’, but morally or normative justified - the truth is you simply don’t care about minority rights."

25 degrees at the end of September calls for a classic Planters Punch. #cocktail

Let's All Remember When We Saved The World To remind ourselves we can do it again.

I honestly don't think everyone talks enough about how amazing it was when the world came together to fix the hole in the ozone layer, so I wrote this:

It's a good reminder of what we're capable of.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

A great article by TNC on the sanitization of Charlie Kirk.

The Real Charlie Kirk Akela Lacy, Natasha Lennard, and Ali Breland on the weaponization of Charlie Kirk’s murder and increasing political violence.

"By a vast degree, the majority of politically motivated violent attacks... are still to this day committed by members of the far right and almost all cis men."

Not to mention he continued to gleefully do photo ops with Diagolon members even *after* Jeremy MacKenzie said some truly heinous things about Poilievre’s wife.

Wow. This is an absolutely stunning example of mealy-mouthed “both-sides-ism”. I’ve been a reader and listener of yours for many, many years, and while I have —very occasionally—disagreed with your perspective, this is the first time you’ve disappointed me.

Unfortunately, in the US, no shooting of any kind will ever be a wake up call.

Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

It’s not anything close to Haida art, but I can see how one might make the association.

Today’s offering to the Elder Gods: an Arkham Kula. It’s tentacular. #cocktail

Nova Scotia's iconic Blue Nose is refusing to travel to Trumpland. This is a huge decision given the role they play in the international schooner festivals. But they will not cross the border.
The Blue Nose is your dime. If they can hold the line against fascism. So can you.
Keep the boycott strong.

This is fantastic news.

First harvest, all from seed! Hot Portugal, Cayenne, 7-Pot Brain, and something I’m told was called “Bruno Mars” but I’m not sure if that’s a legit name. There are tons more of those, but I’m waiting to see what they do colour-wise. The seem to go from green to purple to yellow to orange. #chilies

So well deserved! I loved the hell out of this book. Lots of fun little tricks.
