The latest episode of my nerdy quiz show, Inconceivable!, is here, wherein I challenge panelists to divine means of telling the future, deduce actors who played the world's greatest detective, and untangle mashed-up superhero songs! www.theincomparable.com/gameshow/278/

Let's Lean into the Weirdness (Game Show 278)

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. This time around, our panelists must divine means of telling the future, identif...

Just dollars below 50% funded! Who would like to take it over? Consider some of the unique add-ons, like PEANUTS FLONG

Just launched on Kickstarter! “Flong Time, No See,” my collection of essays and reported work on printing history and people’s labor. Not academic—it’s a lot of fun, as you learn about a wildcat typesetter strike, “bogus” copy, type lice,” and much more! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...

This final ep was bitter and sweet but mostly a ton of fun. A lovely send-off for a truly unruly, rascally bunch, and an absolute love fest for Annette whose brilliance and warmth and hard work created so many joyful memories ✨💗✨💗✨

Our Agents just love Paris and Rome, so we are returning to Emily in Paris for season 5. This time, we’ve got a new Agent Micki Maynard joining Kirsten and I on this mission. Join us as we overanalyze our not-so-guilty pleasure www.theincomparable.com/smooch/141/

The Incomparable Mothership episode 797 just posted: Iceman Was Right ["Top Gun"]

Iceman Was Right (The Incomparable Mothership 797)

Kilmas comes but once a year! This year we’re climbing into the cockpit and revisiting 1986’s “Top Gun,” starring some airplanes, Val Kilmer, and Tom Cruise. It’s a very subtle movie. Were Tony’s parents right in protecting his young mind from it? And most importantly, why do we remember Val Kilmer’s character being the villain when he’s actually the conscience of the entire film? - Jason Snell with Annette Wierstra, Katie Mack, Erika Ensign, Tony Sindelar and Brian Warren.

Canadians, please sign! #TransRightsAreHumanRights We need compassion and community, not ideological cheats. Link to sign: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... More details from the petition in image, if you need it. Please sign! 🇨🇦

Petition to the Minister of Health Whereas: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms exists to protect individuals and minority communities from discriminatory laws; Recent legislation enacted by the Governments of Alberta and Saskatchewan restricts the rights, dignity, and safety of transgender and gender-diverse people, particularly children and youth, including access to gender-affirming and medically appropriate health care; These provincial governments have invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield such legislation from judicial review, thereby preventing Charter challenges from being meaningfully heard; The Constitution Act, 1867 provides the federal government, through section 90, with the authority to disallow certain provincial legislation in order to protect constitutional principles and minority rights; and The use of extraordinary constitutional powers to limit Charter protections warrants careful federal review and response. We, the undersigned, Concerned Allies of Transgender Canadians, call upon the Minister of Health to Recommend and support, within Cabinet, the exercise of the Government of Canada’s constitutional authority, including the power of disallowance under section 90 of the Constitution Act, 1867, to annul or repeal provincial legislation enacted in Alberta and Saskatchewan that restricts the rights of transgender and gender-diverse people and has been shielded from Charter scrutiny through the use of the notwithstanding clause, and to affirm the federal government’s responsibility to uphold Charter rights across Canada. Open for signature December 18, 2025, at 12:36pm (EDT) Closed for signature February 16, 2026, at 12:36pm (EDT)

Canadians, sign this petition to stop the use of the Notwithstanding clause against trans Canadians. This is about provinces denying human rights, because trans rights are human rights. SIGN.
