august 19 etc

Last week I accidentally blogged Monday through Friday and I didn't die and the world didn't end so I'm going to try to keep doing a daily post on weekdays as long as I am able.

ICYMI here are last week's Monday–Friday posts:

august 11
august 12
august 13
august 14
august 15

As for today's post? Well, that's what we're doing now, isn't it.

On y va!

✍🏽📕 I recently remembered this incredibly insightful storytelling tip from Trey Parker and Matt Stone (from when they appeared on MTVu Stand In) so I'm sharing it here. (YouTube/@fabianvaldezlegit)

🍸🍹 A friend sent this very of-the-moment bit of humour to me and I am passing it along to you. (McSweeney's)

✈️🇨🇦 Air Canada and its 10,000 striking flight attendants have reached a deal, apparently. This is obviously good news but it is still insane to me that they weren't getting paid for work done on the ground. Like, it's 2025 and folks still have to fight to... get paid... for... working? WTF. (CBC)

🖼️🎨 For the Toronto-based readers, Jesse Mockrin's new exhibition at the AGO opens on September 11 and it looks like a good'un. (AGO)

🤖🤖 I've been pretty hard on AI lately. I do not plan on changing my tune. Neither does Charlie Warzel, who wrote about how the main byproduct of AI everything is mass delusion. It's a gift link so you don't need a subscription. (The Atlantic)
