Popping in long enough to share this Gazette article about the amazing @swanmichaels and his latest novel tinyurl.com/28fs8foo
TLDR: the new SAAQ system is still borked.
ALT Montreal Gazette story- " Quebecers who must renew their driver's licence by the end of 2023 will not have to go to a service point of the Société l'assurance automobile du Québec. The organization announced on Wednesday that it will reuse the photos that are already in the driver's file to produce their new licence...The SAAQ 'invites those who already had an appointment for a photo shoot at a point of service to cancel their appointment'"

Our dear friend @davidjalmond has written Sue's obituary for The Guardian, and it's beautiful. The memorial he mentions will take place at University Hall, Shakespeare Street, Nottingham on the afternoon of November 5th. Details to follow. All welcome. theguardian.com/books/2023/j…

I want to create/coin the word “paraletheia” to describe the feeling you get when you meet online friends in-person for the first time. Social media, starting a new job remotely, dating apps, etc.—This is a uniquely 21st century phenomenon.
Para = beyond/alongside
Aletheia = disclosure of what’s real and true
So paraletheia would mean something like “that which is parallel to yet beyond what you already know is real [about a person].”
You can learn about someone (exhaustively) just through their socials and by chatting virtually, but there’s nothing that imitates the feeling of being inches away from their face irl. That’s why even when you feel like you know everything about someone you befriended online, things FEEL different when you meet them for the first time. Their scents, body language, height, fidgets, etc. all contribute to your overall impression of who they really are.
@MerriamWebster how do I coin a word?

For those that didn't watch the press conference, one of the AMPTP's "reasonable" and "historic" offers was to be able to pay actors once to be scanned as background then owned to be used indefinitely, on any number of projects, as a digital asset, for no further pay.

Lost in the wilds of the Eastern Townships of Quebec, I discovered Brasserie 11 Comtés, a microbrewery in Cookshire-Eaton. All the ingredients are from Quebec. Ordered a very delicious wild-yeast beer fermented in wood: Horizon des Événements. What an unexpected treat!
well this is interesting
