So do they cut 9% off the height of the cup too?

Sssssooooo... yeah. (Wow!) 😳🤗

MAKE SOME *soft rustling*

Every enemy in Silksong has at least one attack where they go like this and it does five hearts of damage and has no counter.

This was extra weird in Canada where, because of the metric system, we had problems with conversion on our save files. The vending machines just couldn’t handle it at the time.

I wish I'd realized this in time for "Singularity Sky" but late is better than never, I guess.

"Released under the Access to Information Act/Divulge(s) en vertu de la Loi sur l'access a informaiton s.23"" [grey rectangle]

In 2021 I asked the Canadian government how much it was spending fighting First Nations in court - one access-to-info request specifying four cases. Today they got back to me.

So this morning I get an urgent email for a same day cardiology appointment at my local treatment centre.

I was surprised (and alarmed) but fine. I moved things around and went there a few minutes ago.

Only there was no real appointment. The receptionist said I wasn't supposed to receive any 1/

credits that include the names of everyone who worked on the game at any point

So it has been one year since I had a stroke, a thing that almost killed me and landed me in the hospital for nearly a month.

I opened this thinking I’d have a lot to say about it and I don’t, really. Don’t ignore health issues even if they seem minor.

A screen shot of a table shows an increase of 1,045 FTE certificated teachers working in AB in 2025-26 compared to 2024-25.

The promise of 3,000 more new Alberta teachers has confounded me. We don't know how many teachers the government planned to hire over 3 years, but the 2025 budget documents (from Feb. 2025) tell us the gov't intended to pay for 1,045 more FTE teaching positions this year compared to last

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.

this is exactly what I say when I'm pretending to be productive

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue jumps in shock as Green floats idly by him. Green: I don't feel like doing today. Blue turns his head to follow where Green is going as Green floats further away. Blue: Doing what today? Green: Just the whole day. Any of it. As Green drifts out of sight, Blue raises his eyebrow, puzzled, watching where Green drifted off to. Blue: Also why are you floating? Green, out of frame: I got excommuned by gravity. Blue stares after Green, now in blank bafflement. Blue: ...What?

Parody of Times headline "Did Humans Going to Work Ruin Everything?" Dek: That wasn't enough wet food, I'm STARVING

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

I didn't realize it was possible but those weird impersonal marketing spam e-mails have somehow gotten even more depressing now that they're being written by LLMs. At least before it was an actual human pretending to be interested in my work!

Via the Wayback Machine: SNAP beneficiaries threaten to ransack stores over government shutdown One mother claims taxpayers must feed her children as SNAP benefits face cuts Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi By Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi Fox News Published October 31, 2025 2:16pm EDT

AI videos of SNAP beneficiaries complaining about cuts go viral SNAP benefits ended on November 1 due to shutdown Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi By Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi Fox News Published October 31, 2025 2:16pm EDT

Before-and-after Fox News headlines on a story based entirely on AI-generated videos they found online.

The new version of the article comes with an all-time “Editor's note” at bottom:

“This article previously reported on some videos that appear to have been generated by AI without noting that.”

A Discovery Channel store from the 1990s. Shelves are filled with books, globes and model planes. A large telescope is displayed in the foreground, and an interactive kiosk sits in the background. Halogen lights make the lighting dramatic, highlighting the displays, and an illuminated panel shows an image of the Moon.

Stores used to look like this.

Fun fact about Calgary's new City Council: there are as many councillors-elect named Mike/Myke as there are women.

The mysterious results of Voting Station 408 I am fascinated by a story that features a glaring statistical anomaly, destroyed evidence, unwitting politicos and the thrill of election night.

This is rare but not completely unheard of! But at least here it was caught. calgaryherald.com/news/local-n...

~600 vote swing in hand to hand count isn't ringing endorsement for UCGOP conspiracy theorist legislating.

Remember when the company that rented you your phone line actually had phones you could call to talk to them?

There are lies, damned lies and the "Keep me signed in" option.

microsoft product (begging, pleading): save this document to my documents?

I think for me the most compelling answer for "why fund basic research?" (and the one most relevant to the people doing the work) is that humans are curious and finding stuff out makes us happy and fulfilled. Science is a thing humans like. Life would be more dull and sad if we didn't do it.
