As a Muslim who has been accused of dual loyalty and asked to denounce everything from ISIS to the Iranian state, I breathed a sigh of relief that I think I’d been holding in for like two decades watching this.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

But as always, we meditate on the live lobsters kept on the Titanic, waiting to be eaten. No matter how hopeless it feels, and how unlikely a happy ending may seem, sometimes the entire answer is "just give it another day, who knows?"

After far too many years, I've got myself a new Guardian byline pic, very kindly taken pro bono by Nick Bowring. It was getting like The Picture of Dorian Gray in reverse. Embrace the ravages of time!

Jokes aside, this is my real advice. If you're broke then, no, do not "be yourself." Your top priority is to show that you can be what they want to hire. Get that bag. If you have flexibility, then getting rejected for being yourself is *good*, that's not a place you wanted to work anyway.

TBH that's my actual advice: * if you need a job now, then stop being yourself, be who they want to hire * if you have some flexibility, then it's *good* to be disqualified from a place you wouldn't have fit in anyway

The winners of the 2020s are Israel, AI, Trump, Musk, etc. And here I am, stuck being a loser. If I just supported them, I could be a winner too.

Canada used to be a country that respected human rights and international law. Now it's a country where vile people openly fundraise for an army that murders children, commits war crimes and tortures and rapes people. @mark-carney.bsky.social @avilewis.ca @heathermcpherson.bsky.social

These people found a baby goat trapped in a pit. They took him home and cared for him overnite. The next day they tried to find the owner but had no luck. While looking - they found a group of goats with the same white fur. Then this happened. Original post

Paul Schrader is the director most likely to make a one-take thriller called “The Bitcoin Machine” about a guy driving around town to buy enough Apple gift cards to bail his granddaughter out of Mexican jail
