I made an 8.5 hour playlist for board game night.
The conceit is that it's the Friday night setlist of fictional radio station WKYL, playing hits and deep cuts from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, and 20s.

Let's hope the Manitoba NDP rethinks their plan for a new $3-billion fossil fuel burning turbine power plant in Brandon.
My position is clear: I am unequivocally opposed to any new fossil fuel development — including LNG.
We must have the courage to say this to every government, of any stripe: if you’re building new pipelines or fossil infrastructure, this shall not pass.

Not the 1st use of the Manitoba Municipal Board by NIMBYs to overrule a city decision. In 2022 a city-approved 199-unit complex in Charleswood was blocked by the MMB. That complex was later re-approved by the city, but with only 119 units. We need housing!

The Manitoba Municipal Board’s decision on a hotly debated plan to build affordable homes at a Granite Curling Club parking lot is triggering fears it could set a dangerous precedent for city projects and leases.
Civic officials concerned about ‘veto’ in Municipal Board decision on city-owned, Granite-leased parking lot

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

This looks great! A few of my #gamedev student and I are writing minesweeper clones atm in C++ with @raysan5.bsky.social's Raylib.
Lots of interesting edge cases and some deep gameplay given the simple rules.

MINESWEEPER, by @kyleor.land
Four days ago, I knew less than nothing about Minesweeper. When my family got our first computer, Minesweeper was just there. For years, I didn’t know that the numbers told you where the mines were. I stared at dead smiley faces, wondering “who is this for?”

I've been listening to a lot of playlists lately and wanting a way to learn more about the currently playing artist without pulling out my phone. I put together a little raspberry pi setup to sit on our shelves and display info about the current playing artist.
