Doctors Without Borders is deeply disappointed to see #Canada’s cuts to aid reflected in its reduced pledge to the #GlobalFund.

Such cuts will fuel the reversal of progress in the fight against HIV, TB and malaria.

Today is real bad folks. I'm always skittish and in a bad mood round the end of the year but Im so worried about my PR application having no updates in weeks and having my visa tied to my employment that I can't fucking think straight.

Was just almost hit by a semi truck on the bike ride back from work.

Unsigned right turn into a parking lot as I was going across on the sidewalk.

Thankfully I'm pretty fast on my threat response time cause bro did not break fast enough 😬

i think awards shows should limit games to one nomination per event so a greater variety of games can be highlighted

Either way, check out the trailer here:

Homelessness will dramatically increase in Toronto over the winter, primarily because of provincial and federal funding cuts. Because of this, Toronto's Warming Centres will not be able to meet the need.

Very cool to see things being reported with half the facts and people rooting for something you've worked on for years to fail.

Very cool.

Dope
OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

I find it so interesting that companies seem obsessed with giving away a product for free only to offer dogshit software that only changes for the benefit of their shareholders.

Seems like good business to offer a good product for an appropriate price right?

No such thing as a "good billionaire" but at least it's nice to have a smart CEO
Take-Two's CEO has spoken out on AI, saying "genius is the domain of human beings", and raising copyright and creativity concerns.

"There is no creativity that can exist by definition in any AI model, because it is data-driven."

1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead.

Her death was ruled a suicide.

But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power.
