Probably my favourite work of ours. And it's spawned a dozen more followups in my mind I need to finish writing out!

Speaking of my new phone, anyone have a suggestion for a good mobile browser (for Android obviously) that blocks the absurd amount of ads that populate the internet now?

Look, sometimes I just gotta be a weeb and live out my childhood dream of being Vegeta and blowing shit up on the Nintendo Switch.

So despite what the CRTC says, Bell Canada would not give me a 'low cost' plan and says the lowest price they offer for BYOD is $85/month. We're currently paying $71/month each, so we should be grateful!

Guess I gotta put in an CRTC complaint.

Lots of takes on this, but what fascinates me most is the role liberals play in running cover for fascists. They go traipsing off to Europe to try and convince them not to take actions against the US with vague promises of distracting trump.
They're empire above all else.

“Give us a chance to give [Trump] a way out of this that comes to the right ending. … I don’t know if that’s possible.” - @durbin.senate.gov to Danes in Europe.
Can the Senate Dems sound any more limp, facile and impotent to Europeans across the Atlantic?

“COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A bipartisan group of lawmakers who traveled here on an urgent mission to reassure Danish leaders amid President Donald Trump’s escalating threats to acquire Greenland had a straightforward message.
In an interview between high-level meetings, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin summed it up this way: “Give us a chance to give [Trump] a way out of this that comes to the right ending.”
Durbin added: “I don’t know if that’s possible.”
The four-decade veteran of Congress, who’s been on dozens of CODELs, wasn’t just referring to Trump’s apparent determination to take over the Danish territory at all costs, or Republicans’ hesitation to openly defy him. Durbin was giving a sobering assessment of Congress as a supposedly coequal branch of government.
Over the span of several decades and under the leadership of both parties, lawmakers have ceded their authority to the executive branch on everything from war powers to tariffs to the power of the purse. Hill leaders have prioritized avoiding politically difficult votes or been slow to react – or done nothing – as presidents repeatedly pushed the limits of their own power at the expense of Congress.
“It’s not just this moment or this president,” said Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who co-led the delegation. “What makes this moment so hard is, if Congress can’t stand up in the face of something where there is no strategic value and lots of strategic harm…is Congress really willing to exert its authority at all?”
That’s what made this particular CODEL so uniquely difficult — and surreal.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cf26plxwia7dxpm6plry3sj2/bafkreibjseyx4567lbf33ldoqqe66czitqhdzl7ppsi4s3swrfyo6dtwsu@jpeg)

This tiktok is really interesting and touches on how tech and GenAI is a tool of colonialism, threatening the digital culture of the global majority. When put like that, it makes sense that China largely has its own digital ecosystem.

The working class is, firstly, mostly women. And secondly, mostly non-white.
Your class is about your relation to how wealth is produced. Not some dumb racist moniker.

Remembering a year ago as the US was threatening to annex Canada, and American news media were acting offended at the idea we wouldn't want to become American.
We grew up on horror stories of what it's like to be American. Going bankrupt from some health issue. Gunned down in your own school. etc..

One of the many worst parts of "GenAI" is that companies keep believing the OpenAI lies, and instead of creating their own complex but private and well run algorithms, they're instead going through these data hungry intermediaries.
The tech becomes worse, and at a huge privacy cost.

This is a good article. So much of gamer discourse now is driven not only by disingenuous trolls, but screeching YouTubers and reviewers looking for ragebait.
It was a very good game doomed before it launched. Better to disconnect and just enjoy.
