I wrote the Vulture obituary for David Lynch, one of the great American artists of our lifetimes.
“So much of Lynch’s work amounts to individual entries in a decades-spanning meditation on mortality and what comes after life…Lift every Lynch scene about birth, death, and transformation and string it end-to-end and you’ve have a chapbook of elegies.” www.vulture.com/article/noth...
Beyond the End
David Lynch spent his five-decade film and TV career contemplating life, death, and the indescribable realms in between.

Does the federal government think Meta has engaged in foreign interference by restricting Canadian news availability?
Heritage Minister says the owner of X is engaging in foreign interference and says Facebook’s far-right friendly moderation policies are “extremely dangerous” to democracy

And yet… No one is talking about meaningful regulation of either of these out-of-control platforms 🤷‍♂️

What an absolute pleasure it was to take part in Reimagining Political Journalism: Perils, Possibilities & What Comes Next last weekend.

The panels served up some meaty food for thought. I was fortunate enough to share some of my thoughts in a plenary session.

I will be interested to see whether Hunter Biden gets Special Counsel David Weiss to allow him to preserve the right to appeal whether the original agreement (which fell apart after the botched plea hearing in Delaware) precluded this prosecution.

I’m teaching a third year civics class this semester. Obviously, want to keep it Canadian focused but I would say it will be hard to just outright ignore our Southern neighbours.

NEW: Trump campaign says it was hacked (they speculate by Iran) after Politico receives leaked documents via anonymous e-mails, including a 271-page vetting packet on JD Vance, including a section marked "POTENTIAL VULNERABILITIES" (which I have to assume just says "c'mon")
Trump campaign was hacked, campaign says
The campaign suggested Iran was to blame. POLITICO has not independently verified the identity of the hacker or their motivation.
