"So curiosity is what rehumanizes, both in you and in each person about the other? Yes, curiosity about what is human about the other person. They have a history, feelings, wishes. They were once children." www.nybooks.com/online/2026/...

I looked at the smoke maps and tomorrow looks like we'll be hit from both the fires in the Interior and Spokane. That said I find those maps hard to understand. Going to go and assess.

Cameroon are up 1 nil to Ghana. #WAFCON I can't watch WAFCON today because I have a deadline. But will dip in and out.
Scary and awful. Thinking about friends in Spokane and hoping all the folks I know and all the folks I don't know stay safe.

Evacuating a #hospital with a rapidly spreading #fire is a nightmare, my thoughts are with the #healthcare staff in #Spokane and the #disabled

Nigeria up 1- nil on Zambia, but they have a carte rouge. 79th minute ⚽ #WAFCON (Only half watching and mostly listening)
O’Neal helped purge me & all the other Black full-time staff columnists at the Post Opinion Section. I challenged his move to fire me in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. And he testified against me in June. We are expecting an arbitration ruling soon. Convenient time for him to quit.

Happy Pride to all in Vancouver this weekend. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Chawinga! Another goal MALAWI 3! Even with 10 players. Get involved and watch #WAFCON 🇲🇼🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺⚽⚽⚽
There are no women in this tournament that I have seen hurling themselves dramatically on the ground and faking injury, like the men do. Same sport, no fakers. Confront yourselves deeply within lads, the next time you're insisting or hearing someone insist women are dramatic. We have the tape.
Malawi got a red card due to a late tackle, down to 10 players. #WAFCON
MALAWI ⚽ 🎺 SCORE 1 nil against Egypt. #WAFCON
Today ⚽ Malawi v Egypt @ 10 PST Zambia v Nigeria @ 1300 PST #WAFON
I might be the first person in the species to get vicarious cramps in each foot 12 hours after watching half a football match. One for each goalie. Cramp percussion.
I can’t wait for January!

The Library of Brothel is a real building, “the last offline building,” in a city whose inhabitants struggle to find work, housing, even a date. People are isolated, anxious, dispirited, and defeated....

Ah you are making me weepy. It's really fucking hard and foolish to make truly literary work that asks or interrogates what form and language might do or the novel can become and resists repeating what I've already made. I am from miners, farmers & factory workers. This is my labour novel. Fuck AI.
