Always a fan of Bella Ciao, and especially how it’s remained in use since WW2. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cUAP...

Butlerian Jihad Now | Defector Maybe some things should not be simulated. That is my takeaway—one of them, anyway—from a Tuesday New York Times story by Kashmir Hill about the death by suicide of a California teenager named Adam…

"A fellow human is not designed to make you feel good about having interacted with them, or to convince you of their utility, or to persuade you to bring your thoughts and problems to them instead of someone else; a fellow human is not designed at all." defector.com/butlerian-ji...

Real man for all seasons moment for Roberts here. “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?”

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

Subnautica and it’s DLC Below Zero! It has a great system around underwater exploration, a beautifully designed map, amazing sound design and music, and a very strong and compelling story.

How careers and skills are changing in the green transition January 22, 2025 By Nicholas Renzetti Canada’s transition to a low-carbon economy offers universities a critical opportunity to help shape the future of work. While concerns about job loss persist, th...

Universities have a vital role to play in the green economy transition. My final piece from the Smart Prosperity Institute delves into how universities can adapt to changes arising from the net-zero transition. I want to thank all of my colleagues for their incredible support during my time at SPI.

That would be cool to see; my friend has Sisters and her Imagifier gives the Vexilla a run for it's money in terms of coolness. I have considered kitbashing some Battle Sisters into Prosecutors or Witchseekers for the look alone.

It’s not cool zone, but may I interest you in @killjamesbond.bsky.social

I know it balances out to a similar probability but I would prefer advantage. It feels more fun and rolling dice is dramatic.

The Revue Cinema here in Toronto had a screening for its 40th anniversary from their Dumpster Raccoon film series. The theatre was packed and it was amazing seeing it in person. x.com/meakoopa/sta...

Army of painted Custodes miniatures. Primarily armor is gold with silver trim, light blue weapon energy colours, and purple plumes and cloth. Army bases are dark red with blue crystals.

They aren’t in kill team, but I have a lot of fun with Custodes. Really elite and easy to get an army together.

Very cool! There's a GTA 40k discord which does newcomer games; I found it helpful when I got started at the beginning of the most recent edition. Any armies in particular your are interested in?

The way we see it, any innovation that can get housing built faster is a win.

Growing a permanent workforce for the plant-based protein sector October 9, 2024 By Nicholas Renzetti Whether to reduce one’s carbon footprint, eat healthier or save money, the global demand for plant-based protein (PbP) products like meatless burgers and protein p...
