One. Job. And all our governments are demanding we pour billions of our tax dollars into this crap, *at the expense* of the services and infrastructure we actually rely on, and while AI decimates jobs and puts families and entire communities in precarious financial positions. What an absolute mess.
I saw a disclaimer in an ebook the other day that said, 'This book is 100% human generated. I'd rather write a story that might have lumpy bits than generate a soulless, passionless, piece of crap." I'm thinking of adding something like that to my next book if I ever get around to writing it.

I've had a long day and I look almost as tired as I feel, but the box of books arrived! Really rewarding to hold MERCUTIO in my hands. It is very purple. Out May 7!
I cannot express how absolutely disgusted I am with federal politicians in this country. This should have been an easy, unanimous decision. Algorithmic pricing is predatory, discriminatory, and just plain wrong.

Life is too short not to read a book that was written well and by an actual human being.
Didn't the Canadian government or courts rule that all personal data belonged to the individual a few years ago? This feels like a bad choice work around so that thoze companies can go one collecting personal data and using it for who knows what.
You cannot ban children from social media without making *everyone* prove their age just to use the internet. And that is a MASSIVE privacy violation with huge potential for abuse by nefarious companies charged with doing the verification.

Re: last repost, we *could* switch entirely to renewables instead of spending ungodly sums and losing lives over oil, but the fossil fuel industry has so thoroughly corrupted politics that we can’t do the sensible thing
To have THE CRANE (Breakwater Books, 2025) listed as one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s top 10 must read books - alongside authors I reported with and about when I worked for CBC in St. John’s - is such a deep, deep honour. @breakwaterbooks.bsky.social
In 1911, Winnipeg was the third largest city in Canada behind only Montreal and Toronto.

Draw middle aged people with squid features?
No idea if it’s true but it seems extremely likely.
146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.
“Separate the art from the artist” is a nuanced concept that should be reserved for dead creators only, whose legacies we have to grapple with in the context of history. It should NOT be used for living creators actively doing harm. That’s my two cents.
