I forgot to set my alarm last night so woke up past the "normal" hour of 9am and was actually annoyed because I have a project that I'm working on?? This is a new feeling
anyway the plus side of having a very short contract after a couple months off is that i wasn't working long enough to be burnt out, so now i can wake up at a semi-reasonable hour and actually Do Some Personal Work without it feeling like an affront to my true passion: "doing nothing in particular"

Fuck the border, fuck CBSA (Canadian Border Services Agency) - these people are just trying to make a living. Let them stay, you fascists
In the U.S., it’s common police departments don’t want to engage with immigration enforcement because it destroys trust with immigrant communities, notes Irene Bloemraad, a UBC sociology professor.

halfway through my first run of Dispatch and i gotta say, I love animation. I love that I'm playing a game that is a cartoon, and it's got some real good writing, and some good specific acting animation to go along with it - it's a fun game but also it's a fun show

I saw that genAI christmas coke ad in a movie theatre last week.
If you thought it looked bad on your phone, you should've seen it on a big screen. -Everything- was warbling and shifting around, nothing was stable, the early psychedelic Deep Dream roots of the tech remain and may be inescapable.

I’m helping out with Retakes at work and it’s crazy how minute the changes can be and how such small changes can make such a huge difference. If anything can save us from AI, it’s artists’ absurd attention to detail.

Canada’s housing crisis isn’t random. It’s the result of decades of decisions that put profits ahead of people.
My plan treats it like what it is: a class war over who housing is for.
