Nothing makes me want to move permanently to the woods more than receiving endless 10-paragraph e-mails made entirely of sentences like "You have built a framework that is both intimately grounded in your own research and universally applicable."

Fellow authors: how do you keep the constant flood of LLM-extruded scam e-mails (the ones where the robot consumed your book to regurgitate back its major themes, like a house cat presenting you with a coughed-up hairball) from absolutely destroying your soul?

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.

- I saw Fran Lebowitz speak earlier this year & she talked about how Oprah might have encouraged a lot of people to get into reading but she did so by referring to books as mirrors where you should see yourself reflected RATHER than viewing books as windows into the experiences of others.

one of the reasons why i have become so supportive of more content moderation enforcement and stringent community guidelines on social media is because we have got to stop tolerating people behaving anti socially on the internet it’s an epidemic, we have to start dealing out consequences

Both Ramses and I have received messages ranging from mildly annoying to deeply disturbing. Some people have gone out of their way to find our names and phone numbers. Some of you have told my husband to kill himself.

To anyone who has done that: shame on you. My husband is a father, a son, and a person deeply loved by people who know who he truly is. Our children need their dad. I hope and pray you reflect on what you have written.

It's the same story as Dark Souls. Everyone keeps trying to trick someone into thinking they're the hero who will save everything but forces beyond their control are making sure it's just the same cycle playing out over, and over, and over manipulating them to participate in it because it's easy.

Final two cents on the PMG x Kotick story: It is paramount that you support the journalism you want to see in the world. Outlets like PMG continue to raise the bar, BUT if you want even more of that probing journalism you have to give reporters the runway and financial backing to produce it.

The worst thing about mornings is getting out of bed, mostly thanks to the mattress we have from blacksheepmattress.com. It’s by far the best mattress I’ve ever owned. Made locally in Calgary, and don’t sleep on the pillows, either. Or, definitely do.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

Some of my favourite work t-shirts are basics I found at Harly Jae (harlyjae.com). Designed and produced in the Vancouver area, a lot of their stuff is more boho and frilly than my usual tastes, but so so well made, tends to use natural fibres, and size-inclusive.
