Jonathan Kay

You "shared some tears" because they're holding a Harry Potter event for kids in a park ? You "disavowed" @jk_rowling ? Are you in a cult ?

@preta_6 If I don’t get a hat tip by the fourth paragraph of your column, I’m going to go full nakagawa on you in the comments

Well geez now I’m going to have to cover this 😂

@preta_6 @NewWestTimes Hahaha your province is so screwed up

@jonkay @NewWestTimes Also: youtu.be/UexcEaoAKsM?si…

My city’s new “artist in residence” - presented without comment…

This reads like parody nadinenakagawa.wordpress.com/about-nadine/

interesting case study that shows what white men have had to do over the last 10 years to remain employed in avant garde art spaces. Compare Ben Bogart’s bio from 2016 with 2026. Same guy. Except he reinvented himself as “neurodivergent nonbinary agender” (they/them, of course)

Nadine is a city councillor, apparently What a coincidence

@purringmutant Yeah It’s fine I guess

@jonkay evidently, he could have just used photoshop to do this. That gay techno mumbo jumbo is very unncecesary. But i still think it's okayish... somewhat interesting... the quick browsing kind...

@purringmutant I think that’s the screen saver on my old Atari 400

@jonkay this is his art... it's not that bad actually..

Omfg

By the way, the dude’s “art” is exactly what you would expect ekran.org/ben/portfolio/…

Some of u may recall my 2025 @Quillette article about “Ana” Caldas, the male athlete who made a mockery of Female US Masters Swimming (USMS) competitions. Caldas has now been suspended by @WorldAquatics. But in the spirit of trans “inclusion,” USMS is now going after a female swimmer, Angie Grifffin, for calling Caldas out. And the USMS’ “evidence” against Griffin includes the fact the she cited the @Quillette article on social media

@KeepCanStrong @Lpevs I have no memory of that …. Or knowledge of who he is …. I’m sure you’re right but I don’t remember it

@jonkay @Lpevs Giovanni Pennacchietti

Ninth inning of today’s spring training game, and the Yankees don’t exactly have the A team on the field

@Lpevs It’s the most charitable explanation. The other, less charitable, option, is that he actually believes he’s some absurd thing called “agender”

@jonkay why do you assume this was in order to remain employed? what evidence do you have for that claim?

@KeepCanStrong @Lpevs Who is the nazi ? (Asking out of curiosity. I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about)

@Lpevs @jonkay Seems like a good time to remind people Kay was on a pod ast co-hosted by a Nazi Canadian artist. He's just making shit up to place a target on the backs of queer people.

Anyway, I can tell she’s really indigenous because she has the word “indigenous” in her bio five times

the indigenous qualifications of Michelle Coupal, the “Canada Research Chair in Truth, Reconciliation & Indigenous Literatures” at @UofRegina, consists of having a great-grandfather who was “believed” to have had an indigenous ancestor two centuries ago cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

Whoops sorry I mean the literature of “turtle island”
