Montreal should be ashamed that our new mayor is much less left-wing than new mayor of New York.
Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social with his well-deserved victory!

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.
Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

After reading Pynchon’s “Shadow Ticket” and playing Psychonauts 2, I suddenly realized that bowling just completely disappeared from the cultural context.
Also, called some friends to hit up the alley.

What a perfect timing for the release of “One Battle After Another”. Not only it hit the spot for me exactly when I was craving this type of a wild conspiracy story, it also is too relevant for the present day. This, and “Civil War”.

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

Weapons is really cool! I will definitely steal a final scene into my home game. But kind of wish it went into a bit different direction with a threat presented to the characters or at least foreshadowed it more.

Our Curse of Strahd campaign just downsized to 3 players. Good thing we were recruiting everyone we met, so we might not have a Hulk, but we have an army!

This one mixes the social deduction game a la Mafia with tactical combat, and is inspired by one of my favorite games of the last year: Tactical Breach Wizards.

So for a second I was really puzzled if this is a new comparison of D&D classes or something about politics.

“As a commitment to truth and reconciliation, I must acknowledge colonial and genocidal atrocities today, including the massacre of more than 17,000 Palestinian children in Gaza.”
That’s what an Ottawa high school Valedictorian said to cheers.
She was told not to come to school the next day.
