Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.
Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

My only 2026 resolution is to lean into how pretentious I am. Why yes, I do believe myself to have impeachable taste, and I will be smug about it.

My last book of the year. Flesh, by David Szalay. Bought this pre-Booker nomination (and eventual win) but only got around to it this week. Spare and circular. Dialogue that felt both natural and absurdist at once. I tore through it. It's excellent.

As anyone watching this space has been saying for some time: Grammarly is a cheating machine. Might as well sell the enterprise to Chegg.
It is not "attribution and sourcing" to generate post-hoc citations that have not been read and did not inform the student's writing. Those should be regarded as fraudulent: artifacts testifying to human actions and thought that did not occur.

Been reading a lot of books lately, but none are delivering me the emotional experience I crave: feeling entirely unmoored from my own body.

What a pleasure to moderate this conversation. Takeaways: joy, naivety/approaching your work like an amateur, integrity - all sit at the foundation of creative work that lasts in a world designed to make it seem disposable.

I just finished listening to Sarah Wynn-Williams' Careless People, which was fascinating but largely frustrating, because most of the people exhibiting some on the work workplace behaviour you've ever seen will experience no meaningful consequence their whole lives.

A decade ago, I was entirely (and without irony) addicted to Twitter. I met my friends there. A lot of my social life ran through there. I thought it was a transformative tool. I was a Certified Poster. Now using any social media platform, even this one, leaves me with gnawing unease.
