FB Memories tells me that in 2017 when I showed someone a Nintendo Switch for the first time, they said it looked like a big Vita.

Our Peabody speech for 1000xRESIST. “This art form is barely unearthed. It’s too early to define it. Fund the indescribable.”

Canada’s video game industry is MASSIVE but under-appreciated. That’s been bothering me. So, I spent the past 1.5 years asking dozens of AAA/indie devs, actors, lobbyists & more about how to address this & got an incredible range of perspectives! 🇨🇦 🎮 My 2nd-biggest @mobilesyrup.com feature ever:

Happy birthday, again, to this Garfield strip:

In this scene we learn: - J. Jonah Jameson is a stand up guy - The Daily Bugle doesn't print photo credits, an industry standard

Ontario rejected the City of Toronto’s proposed affordable housing requirements on dozens of specific properties after at least three real estate investment trusts asked them to do so, the Star has learned — with two trusts suggesting the quotas could result in no housing development at all.

Everything on Double or Nothing was at least quite good but even then I'd cut a couple matches to not have it run to nearly 12:30am ET. As usual WWE and AEW are opposites in excess

Wrestling is a love story.

Thumbtack sneakers. Barbed wire. Ear stuff. The Pointer Sisters.

This match is like an end of season game of thrones battle. With Drowning Pool added

AEW sometimes gets absolutely dumb and that's why it's good

Does this count as CanCon

Deliver At All Costs looks like a GTA1 renake made for the PlayStation 3 and it's the perfect aesthetic for that kind of game.

Turned off my phone's location data in defiance of the surveillance state before promptly sending an A&W chicken burger order to the South Caribou region of British Columbia.

I basically never blog but @stahly.bsky.social's incredible video nudged me to do some closer comparisons I'd wanted to do since my Polygon story last year. So here's some highly nonscientific Goblin Green paint comparisons: jonore.wordpress.com/2025/05/25/l...

Well that just about sums it up, doesn't it
