Support the Washington Post! Don’t use Bezos’s recent announcements of editorial control as an excuse to end your subscription. I find no diminishment of editorial independence and those guys are covering the crises in DC superbly. Keep WaPo going!

For the alleged cost of Meghan’s coat you could buy 4,181 copies of my novel Duch, which is all about Princess Diana being found alive in Paris. But you only need to buy 12. #Duch #PrincessDianaLives

The lovely smell of your new book hot off the press! Overjoyed to finally have my novel Duch in my hands. Why not fit it into your hands? Princess Diana is alive in Paris and making mischief. #Duch

Just 10 days away from the launch of my Princess-Diana-is-alive novel Duch, which has a four-star (****) average rating on Goodreads and Netgalley! Order it at your local independent bookstore. Loudly.

Let me clarify that my earlier remarks about dog obedience were in no way meant to mitigate canine crime. Misbehaving labradoodles (though a lovely breed) should be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law. I'm closing my account and entering a Buddhist monastery for the foreseeable future.

In an earlier post I said that labradoodles had been involved in a spate of crime. I’ve since learned that many of the atrocities were actually perpetrated by other breeds with superficial resemblances to labradoodles, such as cockapoos, goldendoodles and labranoodles. Apologies for this confusion.

I hope my modest contribution to the Society of Obedient Dogs will go some ways in making up for my ill-chosen remarks regarding my earlier ill-chosen remarks about labradoodles. In addition, I have volunteered at a local obedience school where wayward dogs are given “a new leash on life.” Walkies?

Apologies to the Anti-Labradoodle Front, who doxxed me for apologizing to the National Labradoodle Foundation for my post on this popular breed. I was unaware of the recent spate of labradoodle crime, and my amends to the National Labradoodle Fund were not meant to excuse these canine offences.

I’d like to apologize to the National Labradoodle Foundation for my poor choice of words regarding this elegant breed. Labradoodles are in fact a much-loved addition to the national dogscape and I hope my modest contribution to the National Labradoodle Fund will make up for my misjudged post.

Years from now, when I’m cancelled for an errant social media post, this will be the one that got me in trouble: I really don’t like labradoodles. There I said it. Fire at will.

It hasn’t even been released yet, but my book Duch already seems to be getting a lot of attention. Accustomed to working in complete obscurity, I find it disconcerting that people I don’t even know are reading my novel. And liking it! Shome mishtake, surely.

I don’t mean to insult 12-year-olds, but Trump has the brain of a 12-year-old. Has no one noticed this? Welcome to the infantilized White House.

Just watched Lost Highway in homage to the late, great David Lynch. Didn't understand it, but loved every minute. "Keep your eye on the doughnut and not on the hole."

Trump wants to annex Canada. I remember calling for the same thing. When I was 12.

Trump called his Jan. 6 insurrection “a day of love.” Many people believe it. Our society is moving from logos to mythos. It’s terrifying.

My 82-year-old father-in-law wants to become an influencer to get people to read more books. Who’s on board?

Why do I always get “Canadianed” in London? They hear my American accent and say, “Is that a Canadian accent I detect?” Presumably they think they’d be insulting me if they assumed I was American but turned out to be Canadian. It’s the other way around!

Neil Young is an idiot who thinks the BBC is a politburo destroying Glastonbury. Sorry, that’s an “error in information.” He’s actually a twit.

Going from 2024 to 2025 is like jumping out of the frying pan into the very fiery pits of Hell. Though I am looking forward to the next season of Slow Horses.

I heard that women are having their boyfriends read them Sally Rooney on Tiktok. I think men should have their girlfriends read them garden shed instruction manuals.
