this is what I mean when I talk about technical limitation as its own sort of launching point for artistic creativity.
I'm glad that Metal Gear Solid 4 is going to be made available to more people, though I'm guessing the install experience won't be available. At least we have Metal Gear Scanlon to remind us of what that was like in its "fixed" form.

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

I've caught up on the State of Play and the only game I have a mild interest in is Mina the Hollower and maybe Rev.Noir if it's turn-based.

Canada is uniquely positioned to break the siege of Cuba—we should be leading a regional coalition to ship oil and aid to Cuba, and prevent the humanitarian crisis that U.S. regime is attempting to deliberately trigger.

I wrote about it, and the history of the blockade, for @policyalternatives.ca

The United States is attempting to deliberately trigger a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. Canada must act in concert with regional allies to defy the blockade.

I posted on *three platforms* just over *20 minutes* after Radio-Canada first misidentified this innocent trans woman as a mass shooter on national television in a 6:00pmET broadcast.

I tagged Radio Canada and Patrice Roy.

They didn't issue a correction until after 2:00pmET today.

Unacceptable.
Radio-Canada apologizes after it aired a photo circulated by anti-trans hate groups online, falsely claiming it was a photo of the Tumbler Ridge shooter. Damaging and irresponsible, and this apology raises more questions about journalistic process imho.

I’ve spent years of my life trying to explain to people that anti-trans conservatism naturally flows from their belief that children in the American nuclear family are not individuals with autonomy, but instead property of the parents and state, and this guy just… tweeted it out

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this happened partly because francophone Canadian journalists are still using Twitter like it's 2018.

I discovered Israeli government procurement documents showing a Canadian group that's sending right-wing media personalities on free trips to Israel was granted funds from Israel's foreign ministry

The funding came through an arm of the ministry focused on managing “public perception of Israel”

I’m not a doomer but it’s dismal to watch Canadians do a truly admirable job of boycotting American products and travel this past year while our government’s ongoing contracts for US fighter jets does this. I guess giving up Starbucks hurt *them* at least 😐

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

There is genuinely so much bad, mis-and disinformation floating around about the tragedy in BC right now online that social media is worse than useless - it is actively harmful.
