Happy birthday surprise from my sisters the Sorrel McDonough. Which one is Brock Boeser, and which one is me? #GoCanucks!

Yes! I've nailed it again.

My sister's guide to A Babysitter's Guide To Monster Hunting coming soon.

Sethblogs vs. Erik D'Souza (the author-wrangler) in conversation about his character-run mystery novel, Death in Halfmoon Bay. sethblogs.com/?p=1870

Dear Mark Hill of The Beaverton. If you'll forgive the "long time ago" relevance: for your consideration, here is my curmudgeonly satire of your satire of us Star Wars fans. sethblogs.com/?p=1864

I hate to brag, but I'm friends with Candida M, and I witnessed her giving this brilliant speech on platonic love. I'm not saying the talk is about me, but you may be inferring it. youtube.com/watch?v=VfUndz…

HMS Pinafore vs. Vancouver Opera vs. SethBlogs. My attempt to out-satirize Vancouver Opera’s attempt to out-satirize Gilbert & Sullivan’s attempt to satirize the ruler of the Queen’s Navee. sethblogs.com/?p=3289

FYC: my first (and best so far) novel, A Boring Book, a romantic comedy of manners, featuring a dull protagonist and a caravan of more exciting characters than him, from sociopathic classmates to charismatic co-workers to bombastic fellow bus travelers. amazon.ca/Boring-Book-Pe…

Thanks to Tamsen McDonough for setting me with an Independent Book Review for my novel, A Boring Book. Kathy L. Brown writes a not-so-boring review that leaves my dull protagonist’s ghostwriter delighted. independentbookreview.com/2023/03/15/boo…

I’ll be at the Tri-City Wordsmiths’ Port Coquitlam Readers & Writers Festival today from 10am-4pm selling books and taking compliments. tri-citywordsmiths.ca/festival?fbcli…

Dear NHL Player Safety: please consider a 3-game rest for #Pietrangelo for treating #Draisaitl like a Draicedar here. While I've got you, please don't waive Mr. Nurse's 1-game ban for later instigating an end-of-game fight. His movie psychopath kiss shows intent to sully the game.

With all due delight, I'm pleased to report that I am now on Substack both writing and podcasting via the humble names #SethStacks and #SethCast respectively. SethStacks | Seth McDonough | Substack

If my elite spy Amala Ekpunobi is correct in her synopsis of #Barbie, then the film features a dehumanizing caricature of men, reminiscent of Mickey Rooney’s eye-shattering portrayal of an Asian-American in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. youtube.com/watch?v=t89aiV…

If you find yourself in New York City, suddenly craving a humour-fed novel, I suggest popping by Brooklyn Public Library and asking for "A Boring Book." I'm told in good BPL catalog authority that they have an ebook copy of the comedy of manners written by yours truly delighted.

Speculations on whether we can regulate non-academic academics without strangulating academic freedom. Plus the annual list of The Top 100 Under 100 Who Dislike Cancel Culture is out, and you’ll never guess which SethBlogs made the list! ACADEMIC FIEFDOM open.substack.com/pub/sethstacks…

Ever wondered why your things won't behave? In this episode of SethCast, I talk to leading inanimatologist, Dr. Bruce Brusk: his cheery theories about our inanimate friends will surely inspire you to seek vengeance on your stuff. open.substack.com/pub/sethstacks…

I'm pleased to report that I've reviewed all the lists of the top books of the year, and this is the best list! (Minor bias warning: my book, A Boring Book, may be on this list, and there's a tiny chance that that result influenced my assessment.)

US President Joe Biden has joined the call for equity in laughter, stating: “If you’re not laughing at my jokes, then you ain’t funny!” THE UNJUST MEDICINE? open.substack.com/pub/sethstacks…
