I won’t be paying any $ to keep my verification checkmark, so if it does get taken away, FYI, I’ll use a secret code* in every tweet, so you know it’s really me. *I’ll casually, organically work the word “hipponocerous” into each post.

How can any reasonable adult align themselves with a political party that screams "Every election we won was clean and good, and every election we lost was rigged and fixed"? It's the basic operating procedure of a poorly-raised 4 year old.

Asking for help from Twitter land. Our dog had emergency surgery last week, and while we have insurance we are still $1900 out of pocket and struggling to keep up with other expenses. You can message me for details or even just a retweet would be appreciated

Meanwhile in Russia: Putin's crony Yevgeny Prigozhin about U.S. elections: "We have interfered, we're interfering and we will continue to interfere. Carefully, precisely, surgically and in our own way; we know how to do it."

My follower count dropped by 1200. Probably a bot cleanse. I'm big with the bots. Bots love me. Butt-bots aren't (always) what you think they are.

I see I was doing it again for a while tonight... posting my tweets over here. A simple by-product of having both accounts open at once while simultaneously being not particularly bright.

Last night, a hugely talented pillar of the Canadian comedy scene passed away. was scrappy, edgy, and fearless - a guy who you'd be glad to have at your back in any sordid side-road bar gig. Above all, he was damn funny. RIP mister.

#NoClue - I now have a comedy guy crush on @BrentButt. Perfect indie comic romp with just enough mystery and a ton of fun performances. I am now discovering #CornerGas.

My new novel The Fake is available for pre-order in North America. Heather O’Neill calls it a “page-turning tale that is impossible to put down” and that her “perspective on lies and liars has forever changed after reading this book.” Link in bio. Pre-orders mean a lot! Xoxo

1. Doctor Who was created by a Canadian. Here's a big long wild thread about the guy from Toronto who created one of the most quintessentially British shows. And how he ended up as a possible target for kidnapping by the FLQ.
