- Fun to see my podcast* interview with Rachel Reid get a shout-out in the Toronto Star story about the ongoing total cultural domination of HEATED RIVALRY. *sporting a slightly altered title...
- Author who interviews authors interviewed by author who interviews authors. Antonio Michael Downing is the author of the memoir Saga Boy the children’s book Stars in My Crown, and the novel Black Cherokee, and is the current host of CBC Radio’s The Next Chapter. Listen:
- All 5 of mine have singers who look like this:
- It's cold out again. So listen to this.
- WhatsApp offering to have its in-built AI interpret my wife's messages to me is a bad joke, both in the sense of it being something a hacky comedian would riff on for 5 minutes, but also in the sense that "See you soon, love you" would require bleeding-edge tech to suss out the meaning of.
- The reason I don't engage with Louis CK stuff anymore is NOT because I suddenly discovered in late 2017 that he was never funny in the first place.
- January episodes - all great conversations. Never the usual book talk. Please subscribe, listen, and review. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT is presented by @thewalrus.ca thewalrus.ca/podcasts/wha...
- Among its many other strengths, the opening theme music for BLUE LIGHTS lasts all of about 3.5 seconds. Very much in keeping with the "lets get down to business" feel of the show. (Though it does make you think you're in for something a little more narratively hi-octane.)

- Remarkable thing about O'Hara - she almost always took big swings in her work, threw herself into roles, went huge when she needed to, and sometimes even when she didn't. But there is likely not a human alive who, hearing her name, thinks: "Oh, her? Not for me."

- Body Horror making a comeback.
- Reposted by Nathan Whitlocknice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted myself as a squared-up Ilhan Omar and you as a collapsing sewer ogre
- I do this more and more in my college writing classes. I call them my "Dead Reckoning" exercises. Because education is about process, not product.

- Old age has mellowed me out on a lot of things, but if you drive through a stop sign while I'm crossing (esp after a snowstorm or if I'm with kids) I will no longer merely flip you off and call you an a**hole... I am looking around for a rock to put through your back window.
