I get lots of SHA drama here too. :)

And my niche video game follows.

Hey. William Gibson is here, too.

We have the double board of the new Axis and Allies and it’s amazing.

Just rewatchws it with my boys. Such a great film.

Damn few.

I hear that. Remarkably, I was just discussing a counter-example in my own company today where a worker was empowered all the way up a reporting chain to do the right thing for another, unrelated employee.

And the details are confidential so it’s not a publicity play. Just the right thing.

Sounds like good-intentioned folks were doing good work inside the company and the company wasn’t listening and ignored that input.

“Human drivers are worse,” is a terrible mantra.

BlueSky seems to encourage conversations more than Twitter. I keep running across threads that look more like 19th century correspondences than social media posts.

He kind of grew on me.

Although I still found some of his “dislikes” pretty random.

This is a very bad idea.

High on the list for sure.

Receipts.

My new pastime, and only real activity on Twitter, is to go to the comments sections of high profile posts and block until my figure gets tired.

The clue that you may be on the wrong side of history.

Our offices.

I love Kim. She leased our house for a year while we were in sabbatical and she was visiting Saskatoon.

She’s relentless and principled.

Why can’t governments sometimes just say, “Oh, that’s awful. We really should not have done that. Let’s compensate you!” Instead of fighting tooth and nail when they’re wrong?

We pay for the fights as much as we pay for the compensation. Sometimes more. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Can someone explain why this took almost 100 years of commercial air travel to figure out?

My wife complains when _any_ detectable software update occurs on anything she uses.

the year is 2048
the house is once again in session for its only business, the daily reading of names and casting of one hundred ballots until a surprise person becomes speaker due to somebody leaving the room by mistake
yes there used to be another way but Republicans would not consider it

All the time.

Nice piece from Murray Mandryk today. t.co/huo20KibId

Imagine not understanding that every single tech invention you’re investing in comes from interdisciplinary work at universities, colleges, publicly funded labs, and primary industry R&D centres and without one of those pieces, it all falls apart.

I’d love to see scholastic step up offering legal defense to teachers, staff, and administrators instead of enabling the banning of books.

What if instead of enabling the banning of books, Scholastic offered to pay the legal defense of any teacher or administrator charged because they allowed the sale of a book that included LGBTQ+ characters or mentioned racism?

Big publishers need to help.

Sigh. Gaza is just so horrible.

I’m 50, and the game is great. Maybe he’ll surprise you.

Inevitably you have.

My son looked over my shoulder this morning: I’ve never seen that, he said, I didn’t even find Wyll.

A few moments later: there were toys stuffed with explosives?!?

This is amazing.

It’s very well written. And that you simply have to accept that makes it safer, too.

Like the writers were saying, “Look, you might not even be playing a good character, but you need to be a good person and this is how it’s done.”
