FYI "The Game Awards" is a ridiculously commercial enterprise, an advertising event more interested in showing trailers for upcoming games (that pay hundreds of thousands for the privilege) than recognizing the talent of developers. Anyway, I could go on but it's sad that this is the Oscars of games

Sorry to say the thing you explicitly don’t want, but while Yowamushi Pedal features high school teens it’s really only about the races so the school stuff kinda fades into the background. It rules.

That’s basically my understanding of (neo) Luddism. We need more Luddites who love technology setting policy. I think Doctorow more or less argues that without using the term Luddite in his Enshittification book. theconversation.com/im-a-luddite...

But will the one act we’re allowed to send be from Quebec or English Canada? Talk about increasing tensions. Will be hilarious if Eurovision becomes a factor in more young people embracing Quebec separatism

I have never seen any data or studies on the public health benefits of more evening light equalling more outdoor play/exercise and less flu/covid transmission. I suspect they’re not insignificant. Will flu season be extended with year round Standard Time? Standard time boosters need to consider this
