We're so back

when people ask me what i'm proudest of i used to say it was officiating a dear friend's wedding, but now it's the time i wrote a throwaway gag in an article about a citybuilder that seems to have actively spiked tim sweeney's blood pressure

the washington free beacon is trying to october surprise abdul by revealing his comms chief used to post bangers

Props to TO for not doing a BC. Would be nice to see Chow leverage that win to step on Doug's face a bit.

The simple answer is to bookmark some sites that have hand & human-crafted, in-depth guides. Lengthy, sometimes singular user-respecting pages that evoke the hardcover guidebooks & greatest gamefaqs txts of the past, not 300 word bullshit targeted at google trends. For a start; @rpgsite.net

These people don’t want to win; they don’t even want to persuade. They want a world where they are a pure and rarified elite, with none of the responsibilities of actual power, only the smug gratification of being right.

Maybe this makes me a bad journalist but I’m coming around to the idea that we should just tell everyone the results once everything is counted the next day

B.C. Conservatives celebrate election win by burning down old growth forest

This wee little horror trip from The Mortuary Assistant guy is quite good!

Carney says Ukraine Starlink case underscores risk of U.S. tech reliance financialpost.com/news/economy...

Imagine all the possibilities: One day these peoples’ children can go see AI therapists too

There is no deal to be had with the US. They will lie shamelessly, and when the elections are over they'll pretend someone else made their promises. They've done it before, they will do it again. The word of the US is worthless. Surely we are not this stupid.

I’m hearing from my sources that David Eby went to the Oracle of Delphi and was told ”If you call an election, a majority government will be returned.”

BC nobly sacrifices good governance to teach one man about hubris

five weeks ago lorne doerkson was vacationing in africa while the conservative party was immolating and david eby was diving head first into a snap election call over the wishes of municipalities life comes at you fast

This is fuckin awesome

If you are in line to shitpost about the B.C. election by 8pm, STAY IN LINE, they have to let you shitpost

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

Literally every demographer for two generations: it's gonna be rough when the boomers get past 70, everyone get ready Ontario:

Anyone going on BBC this month should order one of these beforehand and let them sweat www.poppyshop.org.uk/products/pri...

In 1969 in London, Ontario, Gary Shaw opened The PoP Shoppe. The company quickly found success and grew thanks to its famous mix-and-match system. But by 1983 it was gone...only to return two decades later. This is the story. 📸 The PoP Shoppe 🧵 1/7

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

Shopify's CEO is on X advocating for Brad Bradford to win because of a City of Toronto post about speed limits featuring two men and a stroller, something he clearly doesn't think will happen under Brad's rule. This is the guy who thinks rich people deserve more votes. This is who Brad attracts.

ANYBODY WANNA JOIN THE CIA DON'T TELL ANYONE THOUGH, IT'S VERY HUSH HUSH

FFS. Digital IDs should only exist for Digital people.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk throttling Starlink: "I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression."

Update: Epic has walked back the AI mandate. The article has been updated.

"Where we have differences of opinion, we discuss those in private." The thing about this approach is that silence is taken as endorsement of their human rights abuses. It says "Canada doesn't have a problem with it, so we can keep doing it with no repercussions." And that's a Problem.

Bob Fife: "They're going to use Canada as the scapegoat and say that 'you interfered in our election campaign. That's why we lost. And you know what? I'm going to put more tariffs on Canada.' Or some bizarre stuff that one never knows will come out of the orange man in the White House."

Missed this last week: Brendan Kennedy at the Star reported that iGaming, the government agency responsible for online gambling, secretly shelved a research study intended to track rates of problem gambling in Ontario when those rates were much higher than expected. www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

Alberta separatists propose making referendum vote best-of-seven series

To honor one of the studios that defined PC gaming, we've republished more than 20 articles about BioWare today. The pcgamer.com homepage is dedicated to interviews, retrospectives, and making-ofs about some of the best RPGs of all time.

@ndp.ca You guys know your website is down?

Quite frankly, an insane thing for the U.S. gov to peddle. The page ends with “Americans decide America’s elections.” Right. So, where was that energy when Republican strategists from Michigan flew to Calgary to pitch voter software to Alberta separatists ahead of their referendum?
