Well. So, I got some book mail, & it's kind of knocked me for a loop. Andrew Pyper has always been the kindest person in the world, & one of the most supportive. I never expected in a million years for an ARC of his Mason Coile debut, 'William,' to arrive in the mail! 1/2

When both-sidesism reaches high comedy.

You can do a pretty good job of being present in the moment and still miss the past.

Proofs are just in for WILLIAM by Mason Coile, a chilling slice of literary horror. Henry, a reclusive inventor, has created his crowning achievement, William. But what happens when William starts to take control. . . Frankenstein meets Black Mirror, this is up all night reading.

Can I just point out the spine of this book? The scary dude is there too! WILLIAM, my 'psych horror meets cyber noir' debut under the pen name Mason Coile, is coming in September. You can pre-order here: penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/752545/w…

Got dressed up!

First meeting with an ARC of WILLIAM!! ⁦G. P. Putnam's Sons⁩

Where I’ll be tonight! (Though looking much older than this archive pic, sadly).

Did I not tell you?

If you read the NHL Referee Collective Agreement right to the end you’ll find that there can never be any calls against Marchand for blatant interference. #LeafsForever

I’ve been nonplused many times, but never plused.

A lost bet to ⁦Steve Stred⁩ has found me wearing an Oilers cap in public! My smile veils my total humiliation.

A clip from Dr. Snyder’s illuminating testimony about China’s (and Russia’s) political warfare.

Here he summarizes the 6 propaganda themes about the invasion of Ukraine that have been constructed by Russia, then picked up and echoed by China (and some in the U.S). Please listen.

Nailed it.

Timothy Snyder schools Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 on the facts of russian fascism

I actually think the goalie was certain he was beat, so put his stick back as a symbolic gesture only. But sometimes surrender can *look* like cocky triumph.

Saddened to learn that Greg Sinclair, the editor and producer of my ORACLE audio projects, has died. Will always value our work convos that turned, inevitably, into discussions of The Shining (a movie he loved even more than me). A heartbreaking loss.
