Great piece from @brucearthur.bsky.social @thestar.com about the bird flu ostrich circus.

The economic and scientific issues concern me a lot, but for me, it all comes back to this: the US is where it is now because public health was politicized & exploited to undermine democracy & the rule of law.

“I mean, the economic security issues that it would create in terms of potentially s——canning our entire poultry export market would be devastating for Canada. But the real underlying issue is this anti-government belief that these public health orders are optional, and we don’t want government regulation.

“That is why they have so much attention, and why Rebel News and this entire far-right media ecosystem is involved ... is to weaken, basically, government sovereignty. And this is exactly the kind of thing that happened in the U.S.”

I am not a strip club guy, but I have to wonder about the judgment of a man who goes to a place called Wacko's.

Eric Teusink @ericteusink.bsky.social · 10h

A sitting judge, who also serves as a lobbyist for judges, and former Secretary of the Republican Party of Georgia, got a DUI when he hit another car with his Mercedes at Wacko’s Gentlemen’s Club in Jacksonville.

The levels of Georgia are off the chart.

Need to stop watching stir fry recipes, because "Oh, I can do that today for lunch!" is just a lie I tell myself before I go with the instant ramen or pastrami sandwich.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

There are those few weeks after you need air conditioning when you get to save a few bucks on heating control because the house regulates its own temperature.

Then you walk into your office on a Friday morning and it's like, "Am I old, or is it too cold in here?"

The answer is, inevitably, "both".

A note to all the excited history teachers out there - we are glad you love our games, but we usually cannot make developers available to speak to your class.

And certainly not in the middle of Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

Also we do not do studio tours. Think cubicles, not candy factory.

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic.

He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

One cool feature of Steam is they provide a Harassment Zone for each game you announce. It's a place for people who hate progress to come and crap all over games they haven't even played. No, they won't help you moderate it, but hey, at least you can't delete it!
