Every Brad Bradford endorsement is like, "Toronto used to be a utopia with zero problems. Now it is only fit for the most violent of rats, where sentient crack pipes murder you in dark alleys and feral child gangs feast on the Lululemons of my yoga mom group. Brad will fix this. I live in Whitby."

Hey. @skiffyandfanty.com is doing a fundraiser this month. I will be running a 2-night adventure set in my 13th Icon universe (popularly seen on @gregoryawilson.com )'s channel. THE HOLDING TANK HOUNDS. I import @pelgranepress.bsky.social 's Drakkenhall into the 13th Icon universe.

Yeah, this justification falls somewhere between "that's just totally incorrect and they should not be in the publishing business if they misunderstand it so thoroughly" and "obvious lie".

He's genuinely the worst person with a real chance of being elected mayor since Doug Ford ran, I think.

That's a lie and Bradford should be ashamed, but he won't be. He doesn't have an ounce of decency, just a desperate ambition.

Stephen Geigen-Miller @stephengm.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Bradford wants to hire a THOUSAND new cops?! No. Hell, no. On top of gutting revenue with his cuts, he wants to explode the already massive police budget? Toronto, we HAVE to re-elect Olivia Chow. (Also, citing Malcom Gladwell in a serious policy discussion is instantly disqualifying.) #TOPoli

Thanks and deepest respect to @johnpicacio.bsky.social for standing in solidarity with other artists and creators and going public about this *egregious* attempt at a rights grab by Must Read Magazines.

What's the betting pool on how long before they jettison Skydance and go back to the names with decades of history and positive brand awareness? 'Cause I'd be in for two years.

Stephen Geigen-Miller @stephengm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Right, and also thinking that "I'm not going to let you hurt me or my other loved ones anymore" is political and abstract and not concrete and a consequence of their own behavior.

"It should be illegal to dislike me, personally" is a key belief that underpins the entirety of the modern right, from the youngest incipient incel to the abusive grandparent whose kids have sensibly gone no contact.

This thread, and the one it branched off of, are fascinating and I suspect (not having read the book Mezentine is referencing) probably worrisomely accurate.

The mental image of a bunch of tech bros all hating fantasy football, and all participating in fantasy football because they're afraid that the other loser tech bros will think they're uncool if they don't... This is my new happy place. It fills me with light.

Hey John, fyi because living in the US you wouldn't know, but I wouldn't share stuff from Dean Blundell. He lost his radio hosting gig here in Toronto after a history of misogynistic and homophobic remarks. He's reinvented himself as a Resistance guy but hasn't done the work to my knowledge.

It's pretty clear that for all commercially available LLM-based software neither a) nor b) is the case. Which makes what might be true if they *were* the case rather moot, I think?

Stephen Geigen-Miller @stephengm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

How does QS figure into this? I know little about them but I gather they're progressive sovereigntists. I hope that there's little motivation for them to work with an overtly ethnonationalist PQ?

Stephen Geigen-Miller @stephengm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

The illustration by the inestimable @shaunduke.net should be taken more thematically than literally. PROBABLY. I don't PLAN for the snakret agents to end up PLAYING baseball, but you never know what players will do.

Watching is free on Twitch! But you can also NUDGE THE ACTION (for OR against the players) during the game via a donation to the Skiffy & Fanty coffers! Join us on Tuesday, October 20th at 8:00 pm Eastern/7:00 Central/Etc.

COMING THIS MONTH: I'll be GMing a live-streamed role-playing game fundraiser for @skiffyandfanty.com! What are we playing? @brandoncrilly.bsky.social's B.O.A. wherein players take on the roles of secret agents who run covert missions to make the world a better place. And also they're snakes.

Two cartoony snakes play baseball on an equally cartoony baseball diamond. The text reads:

Snake Me Out To The Ball Game
An Actual Play Show

This is a good short thread with a take on our generation-defining ironic detachment that I like a lot better than the self-aggrandizing "we were LATCHKEY kids and it made us STRONG and now we GIVE NO FUCKS" memes that I see people who really should know better share all over Facebook.

That would unfortunately require a provincial government that didn't hate higher education.

It's promotional, essentially. It drives international student recruitment, and international student tuition isn't regulated or dependent on government funding, which domestic student tuition is.

Of course Elric is a whiny asshole! That's part of the POINT of Elric FFS. Do the people coming at @tkingfisher.com not understand that was intentional, part of Moorcock deliberately subverting heroic fantasy tropes?
