I’ve known Robert Prevost for years as one of the main figures in online TMNT fandom, where no one has a bad word to say about him. He probably won’t have as much time to contribute to Turtles wikis with his new gig but I though his choice of “Pope Leo” was a lovely nod to the community

I figure me never remembering the passwords makes them ersatz MFA since I have to reset them and verify whenever I use the site.

Important to remember about riding level polls/projections

Jared Wesley @jaredwesley.ca · Apr 26

For Canadians being inundated by riding-level polls right now:

The people showing them to you are trying to persuade you to vote for their own preferred party.

It's sales pitch, not an evidence-based argument.

Ice cold take: the b-side of Abbey Road is great because of the short disparate tracks and the sound of the Beatles having fun one last time.

i love the wire first-person shooter but i worry that making every character selectable in multiplayer compromises the story's canon. in my last match i played as brother mouzone and got fragged by assistant principal marcia donnelly with a grenade launcher. that never would've happened in the show

I require minimum 10 hours a week of Just Boppin Around time where I wander around the city with no specific goal in mind to amass small trinkets and treats from various places of business and stop to sit in parks I haven’t been to before. I will not alter my lifestyle in any way that precludes this
