It’s been such an honor to work on this story for the past 5 months. A young Norwegian, Steffen, was trying to cross Canada on foot and with sled dogs. His dogs survived; tragically, he did not. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

What a beautiful piece of writing - particularly the way you represented the perspectives of people and dogs

I’m glad time has vindicated Sebulba. Everyone was so cruel to him because he “tried to kill a child” during the Boonta Eve Classic even though he was literally Darth Vader

Said this before, but you could write an interesting book on the books/films/music that were huge in their time but rapidly disappeared from any collective knowledge. Only hardly anyone would read it, because they wouldn't recognise them.

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

The characterization of literary fiction as "I'm middle aged and having an affair while staring down my own dick" doesn't capture the SCOPE of the genre but it's not untrue (although imo Bad MFA Novel is a bigger pox on the genre)

Madame Sosostris @causamdicere.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

There's a difference between "I like it" and "it's good" and I find it baffling that people who read heavily within a single genre have so much trouble with this

Bro, the Pope sent the White Sox letter, they’re going to the World Series.

Letter:

To Jerry Reinsdorf
Chairman of the Chicago White Sox
was pleased to receive the kind letter that you sent following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February
2026).
In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster
bonds of friendship
and solidarity among
people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026
Pope Leo XIV

I think you had to be very online at a time when most people weren't to know that the bush administration was comically evil to the extent that it was, but for those of you who weren't: trust us! these were stupid evil people, not so different from the current ones!

I've had my TV since 2014 and the only issue with it is that it doesn't natively support newer streaming apps (which is annoying, but solvable - and it's not like a TV from the halcyon days of 2004 had ANY apps)
