Nothing like a sunny autumn day with a new Zadie Smith essay collection and a cuppa.

The cover Dead and Alive, essays by Zadie Smith, featuring a black and white side portrait of the author, her face turned away, and wearing a white collared blouse and her usual head wrap.

Anybody else being hit by this particularly aggressive bot? Same bio, random profile pic. I've blocked it 5 times in 2 days.

Excited to participate in the opening of London, Ontario's inaugural (unbelievably so) IRISH FEST. A chat and a reading of new work by our own Emma Donoghue, followed by music from Michael Darcy & The Atlantic Tramps. Lots more music and fun on Saturday in Wortley Village if you're nearby! #LdnOnt

Read your review and this thread this morning, and bought the book this afternoon. Beautiful jacket and hard cover design.

A large book laying on a counter. The title is The Rouse written by China Miéville. The cover is a translucent gray with an image of two bare deciduous trees rising from fog.

So what is could-have-been First Daughter Ella Emhoff doing these days? I feel like things would have been a bit more fun with her in DC. Less abject fuckery, to be sure.

Also was pretty stoked to meet @tomking.bsky.social, one of my favorite comic book writers, and co-writer and executive producer on @jamesgunn.bsky.social's great LANTERNS series. Signed my Supergirl book, of course!

Add "hung out with men in drag"? Getting closer...

Still hanging in my office is one of the original posters from that ill-fated Broadway debut at the Belasco.

A poster promoting the 1975 Broadway debut of The Rocky Horror Show at the Belasco Theater. It features a black illustration of a woman with a look of wide-eyed shock, wearing large hoop earrings and bright red lips. Across her slick, short hair are the words "starring Tim Curry", and across her forehead are the words "The Rocky Horror Show" in dripping red text.

You have to understand, it gets humid in southern Ontario, but this is pretty unprecedented where I've lived for a long time.

I'm guessing a huge number of casual fans are going to be confused as hell by Avengers: Doomsday. Watching Loki S2 on Disney+ seems pretty necessary for those who are interested.

The sun above my house. Trying not to have an anxiety attack for real.

The sun, behind a heavy fog of wildfire smoke, is a muted orange and dim enough to look directly at it.

Hi. Please enjoy Canada's so-called AI Minister, Evan Solomon, being a blithering idiot about AI, the economy, and job growth. Unbelievable.

When they say Messi is the biggest football player in the world, I didn't think they meant this.

The image is captioned "Argentina unveils the world's tallest Messi statue and it stands 26 meters high in Patagonia"

The images show the blue and white statue, with Messi raising one arm, with the other placing a hand to his chest. Messi is on his knees, with a giant World Cup trophy resting between his legs. From the front and back, it looks very much like a giant penis hanging from his shorts.

Might have to shave this to squeeze out a few more years of not being called "sir" in public (which I think is premature and weirdly unearned.)

OTOH, it's somewhat satisfying that you can now tell Google AI to fuck off, and it fucks off.

A Google search for the phrase "fuck off", to which the Google AI responds, "I'm getting out of your way. Let me know if you need anything else later."

These are easily the best, most decadent, most apple-y apple fritters I have ever had. If you're driving on the 401 east of Toronto, and you see a giant apple building, pull off and go to there. I can't believe I haven't until now, as many times as I've passed it. Lots of other awesome food, too.

I'm no cop booster, but listening to this lawyer describing his lawsuit against Affleck and Damon for making a heist film based on a true crime is absolutely hilarious, his key argument being that they made the cops look corrupt.

I was explaining to my kids recently about how much I cherished this first meeting of Superman and Spider-man when I was a child (recent reprint pic here), and that I knew who Gerry Conway was from that moment. His writing has long been central to my comic love and some of my favorite characters.

Sorry to do this but I made a turkey chili and it was so delicious and also colorful!

I had the original Superman and Spider-man team-up when I was a kid, before my comic collection was lost for reasons. Amazing to see @jorgejimenezart.bsky.social, @markwaid.bsky.social and team bring it for a new generation.

HST would either have written 10 more books just about Trump and his Mafia, or these times would have destroyed him.

A black and white photo of deceased Gonzo journalist, Hunter S. Thompson, a mainly bald man wearing mirrored aviator style sunglasses, and a patterned shirt. The text under the photo is a quote of his, which reads:

"The real power in America is held by a fast-emerging new Oligarchy of pimps and preachers who see no need for Democracy or fairness or even trees, except maybe the ones in their own yards, and they don't mind admitting it. They worship money and power and death. Their ideal solution to all the nation's problems would be another 100 Year War."

Still a bit miffed about the critical approval of the final Mission Impossible movie. So bad. I mean, the whole thing is exemplified by this guy, like "Hi! Remember when you made me barf in a bucket and then hung from a wire in my office? It's cool! I was exiled, but I have a beard and a wife now."
