Happy New Year, Vancouver!
Get home safe tonight and use the free transit. It is a bit of common sense that makes our city work better for everyone.
Here’s to a great 2026 with many changes in store!

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.
Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

Cocaine and coca leaf should be completely legal in the same way as caffeine and coffee beans are.
If this was the case, snorting cocaine would be about as popular as snorting caffeine is today.
Prohibition itself causes and worsens all the problems it claims to be solving.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
