Hoping this week at work isn't too stressful. And that we have enough work to sustain ourselves, but not be overwhelmed... 8)

It still boggles my mind that the Ford government had the Greenbelt scandal, the Ontario Place debacle, is failing on healthcare & housing, is proposing a $60B+ tunnel & more highways... and they're still polling over 40 & could win a "majority" under FPTP. #cdnpoli #onpoli

I once wrote an episode of Adam Ruins Everything where he said that IQ is a bad measure of actual mental ability. It got some of the most wild, furious responses online. There are people who base their entire world view on a relatively meaningless number

If any other national broadcasters are looking for debaters as to whether the US should illegally and violently annex Canada as their 51st state, I am happy to volunteer my time as the side who answers every rational, thoughtful question with "Why the actual fuck are we being balanced about this"

Stressful day in Niagara looking after the partner's mom. Hadn't been down in two weeks, and the place was a mess, and she's in rare form with requests and worries to field. Partner is extra stressed, I'm trying to help, but there's only so much I can do. I wish we had better home care services. :/

“The 5 bullets email was the administration’s declaration of psychological warfare: Petty on its face and lacking sufficient instructions, its one and only purpose was to scare the shit out of workers already living in peril.”

He's openly admitting they're going to use the military to do illegal things and fired all the lawyers so no one will stop them. They will use the military on US civilians and they will give the order to shoot. The question is whether the rank and file listen.

I'd feel more confident in the Ontario NDP implementing electoral reform of ANY OTHER provincial NDP party had done so in the past. But there's a 0% chance of Ford implementing it, & I doubt the Liberals would (it's not in their platform). Job one has to be to deny Ford a "majority" #onpoli

Ontario Strategic Voting Guide: 1. Vote for a candidate who supports proportional representation. 2. If enough pro-PR candidates win, they can implement it. 3. Next election, enjoy no more strategic voting, wasted votes, or false majorities! Here’s where the parties stand:

We kicked holocaust denier Ernst Zündel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Keep flip-flopping on whether I want this to be a "sequel" to my current game (which would require a lot more work to bring it to feature parity... but it'd be neat), or just focus on making a solid single-player experience for consoles with its own identity. (Maybe a phone+tablet version after?)

Want to focus on the AI implementation for the game tomorrow, but have to go down to Niagara with the partner again. Blah. :/ Might be able to do a little on my laptop, but it's awkward and not as focused as working on my main computer at home.

Started looking at the AI code I did for KM and... it's so confusing. It's kinda a miracle it works at all. 8) Trying to decipher my old code and comments and port them to what I'm doing in Lua.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Update: I did a small, relatively minor piece of work but I feel accomplished so now I'm going to lay on the couch again. :P

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Meta and X are absolutely going to interfere in the upcoming Canadian federal election. What is Elections Canada doing about this, besides collecting a paycheque?

Being a citizen of a country shouldn't mean blind loyalty to that country. IMO, it's more patriotic to be critical of the bad, and work to improve things about your country. But in a choice between the US and Canada? I'll choose Canada every time. :/ #cdnpoli #onpoli

I've never been that "patriotic" - there's plenty of things in my country that I wish were better. #cdnpoli #onpoli
