Andy is 100% correct here. Stop treating public utilities like a business. Just do right by all the Canadian taxpayers who finance this thing and expect good service.
Canada Post is not a goddamn business and it's infuriating that the government keeps talking like it is. We never hear about how much money the army loses, or how deep in the red Environment Canada is. But the Canada Post, it never stops. And it's bullshit.
It’s absolutely right that workers walk off the job in response to the government taking a chainsaw to Canada Post.
If we lose the unique national infrastructure the postal service has, it will never be rebuilt. We should be using it to expand services to the public, not nickel and diming it.

Played the Mothership #RPG recently and it got me thinking. I have some thoughts on using more of a "fail forward" process with D&D. Curious what others who have bounced between both systems think. blog.brentknowles.com/2025/08/19/m...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Anyway, if you're looking for a single player game with characters with their own stories, and a chance to battle fantastic creatures in a physics playground and maybe I dunno, there's even smooching, who can say?!?

Yes. The "don't engage, just block" philosophy is tied into Bluesky's DNA at this point, but a) it works everywhere, not just here, b) as an online philosophy it dates all the way back to USENET at least, where "don't feed the trolls" and "*plonk*" were signal catchphrases. What's old is new again.
I'm taking this to heart everywhere I have an online presence. Don't engage with any trolls anywhere. Just block, mute, and move on.
