Hello friends, introductory Post! I'm Lester, I work in Canada as both a Game Designer/Producer as well as a theatre technician, stage manager and designer. I write, play a LOT of d&d, video games, and music.
I'm very politically leftist, anti-racist and pro-trans rights. My pronouns are he/him.

There's been a LOT of reason to be kind of pissed off with 'mainstream journalism' in 2025, but we have an early contender here for 2026 already.

Images of Nicolás Maduro in a Nike Tech sweatsuit after his arrest sparked interest in menswear circles. The suit’s popularity surged, with some calling it the “Maduro gray.”
Column | Nicolás Maduro’s Nike Tech sweatsuit and the thirst for notoriety
Nicolás Maduro’s arrest sparks a frenzy over his Nike Tech sweatsuit, a $260 “relaxed fit” outfit that has become a symbol of the deposed Venezuelan leader’s style.

I really hate this new marketing trend of "We apologize that we went overboard with our deals for the end of the year"
I can't be the only one who hates marketing insincerity right?

It can be about two things!
It can be both about America wanting to steal oil and mineral rights from an unwillingly colonized nation AND about Trump facing mounting pressure domestically wanting to reframe into an unjustified war abroad.
It can be about even more than that too! He's an egomaniac!

Not sure how bad the deepfake problem is? Read Stella's farewell thread.
This is an extreme form of remote sexual harassment that can now be used to target anyone, regardless of platform, in seconds. Despite news stories focusing mostly on CSAM it's still unchecked and rampant on Twitter.

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.
I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

When the Globe and Mail editorial board is warning that the Venezuela invasion represents a threat to Canada you know how serious the menace is from the gangster fascist regime.

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

Pierre Poilievre wishes he too could do an illegal colonialist invasion on a sovereign nation.
This is a dangerous and irresponsible response.
Cheering the illegal abduction of a foreign head of state and celebrating U.S. control over another country is wrong.
Canada cannot pick & choose when international law applies. If the rules only matter when it’s convenient, they don’t protect anyone

In a statement, an emotional Grok told me it was "shaken" by the revenge porn it had generated. "It's not epic, and not based," Grok said. "It's neither. Frankly, it's cringe. And gay." An emailed request for comment to X received an auto-reply of a rofl emoji and a custom swastika emoji.

Listen. It is not 'Grok' which just lacked safeguards. A head of Engineering, a Chief of Technology, a whole committee of senior/lead developers are fully fucking responsible for a failed policy position where they allowed their product to GENERATE CHILD PORN EN MASSE.
Charge. Them.

I think one of my favourite things about bluesky is that when I block someone, their comments vanish for others from my posts. I expect there's some way others could go find it if they really wanted to, but I'm not an inadvertent platform for other's speech if I don't like it.

Master stroke of governance this. And a blueprint of what Democrats must commit to in the first post Trump moment.
I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

In 2025, I wrote 175k words in my spare time that weren't 'work' related specifically. (Including work related it is somewhere closer to 400k)
My goal for 2026 is to get over that 200k words personal writing threshold again.

2025 was a very up and down year of personal goals and professional flailings. A lot of meeting new people, a lot of working in new environments, a lot of luckily failing upwards.
It was also exhausting as I dealt with just everything everywhere widely and no break.
