Let me Google that for you. 2006: My sarcasm kills fools, lolz! 2026: I have superior archival skills. I know my way around a now defuct search engine to the extent that I can unearth websites that contain true, useful information instead of AI guesswork. My expertise deserves your respect.

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

South African judge Navi Pillay - who headed a UN commission that last year found Israel was committing a genocide in Gaza - has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel committee hailed her as "one of the most respected international jurists of our time."

Imagine outsourcing the best parts of parenting to a machine? I wouldn’t have traded those moments for anything. Even when the kids got distracted and I’d end up reading to the cat, they’re all good memories we cherish, and core memories for the kids.

Moomins. Some kind of Christmas series? I watched it at age five, and all the episodes were about the world ending or something.

Hey MusicBsky, will buying a ukulele send the 10yo down the glorious highway of music appreciation? Or will it set her on the crooked path towards playing the banjo?

I build much of my social identity on oneliners. It works perfectly, except when I say something that isn't funny and have to spend the next week going over the conversation in my head over and over again.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

1/ Donald Trump's order to stop the use of Canadian goods in US federal procurement threatens to have a massive impact on the US defence-industrial base, which is heavily dependent on Canadian inputs – especially raw materials such as aluminium.

Currently reading a history book about the fall of the Soviet Union. It describes people who believed the system was infallible, and people who learned to think for themselves. Guess which group brought about the change?

The raw data of the hairs on your neck rising when you finally figure out the plot twist. Of your eyes glazing over when you read a boring passage during revisions. Of your restless tongue probing your front teeth until you figure out the right phrase.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

One thing you didn't know about me: I was schooled by Dr. Strange. Yes. But no. Not that Dr. Strange. A history professor. His first name was Erik, and the pronounciation of 'Strange' was different. Also, the meaning of his last name was closer to 'strict' than 'odd' or 'bizarre'.
