You know what to do
"Anti-physics" Browaty should say that shit to the Manitoba Heavy Construction Association and their "workers ahead, please slow down" signs.
My column today: If we want neighbourhoods to be walkable and vibrant, people need to feel safe walking and biking. The 1970’s law allowing right turns on red lights prioritizes vehicles over safety. Many cities are now considering banning it in urban areas. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...
Oh noooo, the company that extracted our data for their models is having others extracting data for their models
Glad I could help!
That’s what these do.

This has always inherently involved violence. Immigration restrictions keep children in refugee camps. They cause people to be raped and murdered trying to cross deserts on foot or be smuggled in trucks.
trump getting his feelings hurt by european leaders is the culmination of this new type of guy that emerged in the last decade or so: guy who goes out of his way to be a huge asshole who then gets really offended when the people he's being an asshole to don't like him
pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:
It’s not perfect but the Block Editor (Gutenberg) has come a long way since the initial release. A fresh copy of WordPress and the latest default theme can be customized quite extensively purely within the site editor UI. Not sure what migration from Elementor would look like though.
Winnipeg remains the greatest city on earth.
A photo of me holding up Kayak Magazine Issue #90, which I illustrated the cover for. It features a pair of kids tobogganing through powdery snow, with two more kids snowshoeing in the background up the hill to their dad, who is waving them over.
A photo of me holding up a pack of 4 beer cans in the sun. The cans have an illustration of Carmilla the vampire on them, with her name running across her face (the name of the beer was also Carmilla).
A photo of a poster that I designed and illustrated, taped to a bike rack. It's for an Alley Cat Bike Race, and features a cute two-colour illustration of a calico cat doing a wheelie.
A photo of the box for Tournament Arc, a sports anime-inspired party card game. I did the logo and box design, Sky did the art!

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”
✨ Big O ✨
Let me take you on a visual introduction to what big O notation is in my new blog post: samwho.dev/big-o.
With big O notation you can better understand how algorithms will perform in practice, finding orders of magnitude improvements often with very simple changes to your code.
The shift in this model is that we're no longer talking about a cofounder or a bestie or work spouse.

The WPS' total budget is set to increase from $354 million in 2025 to $370 million in 2026 and $381 million in 2027.
Winnipeg is projecting a deficit this year.
For all those "run our city like a company" folks...how about we freeze or reduce spending on the LARGEST LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET (cops).
T-Minus 1 month to the launch of the Primary Transit Network and Feeder Routes! This is by far the biggest change ever at Winnipeg Transit. and it's one of the biggest single-day network changes at a transit system anywhere in the world.
This is an exciting time.

According to city data, the Red River in Winnipeg peaked for the spring season on Wednesday, April 16 at 7 feet James.

No spring flood submergence this year.
have u always wanted ur own website? hey friends! if you have been wanting to set up your own website but don't know where to start or want an accountability buddy to help see you through - let me know! i don't have all the answers but i really want people to have a beautiful independent space of their own, away from increasingly hostile big tech platforms. let me know <3
you don't have to be a creator to have a website! some potential reasons you could have a website: - to let people know where to find you - to blog and write all your serious and silly thoughts - to share your favourite things (movies, music, videos, pictures, links, wikipedia articles, animal facts) - to store things you don't want to forget (resolutions, goals, ideas) - to display your resume (if you want to go profesh) - just because you can!!! who says two or three companies have to own your soul on this big and beautiful internet of ours!!
channelling my energy into this small act right now! posted this to my instagram story in the hopes of being a resource to any website-curious friends :)

Next year, maybe Mr. Kinew can do something positive for #ClimateAction instead of promoting MORE fossil fuel consumption by drivers of gas guzzlers and INCREASING income disparity -- e.g., E-bike rebates for people who can’t afford F150 Raptors that start at $112K before taxes. #mbpoli
The most dangerous part of driving is the cars.
The most dangerous part of biking is the cars.
The most dangerous part of walking is the cars.
Aww little dev, remember no ARIA until you finish your HTML.

Remember kids, AI hype is negatively influencing how we treat each other. Whether it's making bigoted ass content, making biased ass decisions, or just fomenting straight up suspicion, AI hype accelerates the degradation of our social and cultural world.
