So the allegation of plagiarism in his PhD was investigated and dismissed. It turns out he did run all those marathons. So tell me, precisely, all you online sleuths — what exactly did Jason Arday do wrong?
(Apart from being the wrong class and colour of course)

After Kathy Burke's book.. I started Woody'Allen's. Again, an interesting start.. though Allen does tend to go off on tangents and then come back to what he was talking about. Let's hope it stays interesting anyway. #booksky #autobiography

@maddow.bsky.social Gah! Tried to pre-order a signed copy of your new book from, Barnes and Noble and Books A Million.. both unsuccessfully. B&A, do not ship internationally and BAM just kept giving me an error message. Believe I had the same problem when trying to purchase Prequel.

If you don't vote for whatever Dem makes it out of the primaries in '28, I think you're a despicable wretch. I think you've got blood on your hands, and you're directly responsible for human death and suffering.
You're lying to yourself if you think this would be happening with ANY dem president.

This is a thing I've had to deal with a lot, people will say about a guy I reported on "oh well at least he apologized." In all cases, the guy Did. Not. Apologize. Sometimes they've used what I call "remorse-shaped phrases" that are not & never were actual apologies. Which seem to always get a pass🙃
in the Humorism newsletter, I wrote a brief history of Louis CK's non-apologies: www.humorism.xyz/a-brief-hist...
