seeing even more discourse yet again about "defund the police" and people yapping again about how it's a Bad Slogan and i think part of the problem here is people imagine themselves and their votes as The most important thing, the only thing, to think about.

and it's not. this is about power.

1. It’s silly and a bit insulting to divide old-style RPGs into “Japanese” and “Classic”
2. Coincidentally, many “CRPGs” were made in Canada

As someone who thinks CRPG ought to stand for Canadian Role-Playing Game, I fully support the designstion of Indiana games

Breaking!

City of Burnaby just became first city in Canada to join arms embargo movement against Israel AND the first Apartheid-Free City, breaking ties with Israeli apartheid and settler colonialism.

We've been organizing for months towards this precedent in colonial Canada.

Carney & Canada's statements on Gaza are completely vacuous & shameless

Gaza doesnt need Canada's pity. Canada is still arming Israel. Canada must implement full and immediate arms embargo. And sanction Israel. And suspend all military and trade agreements.

Escalate to break imperialist consensus

Tracking Canada’s fascist fight clubs CBC’s visual investigations team reveals where some of Canada’s white nationalist 'active clubs' gather to prepare for violence.

Decades ago, anti-racist groups (ARA and OG black bloc anarchist groups) fought back again these white supremacist gangs- they drove them out of parks and public spaces and pushed them back underground in so many cities…

A demilitarized state beside a nuclear-armed occupier?
That's not peace. That's enforced surrender dressed up as diplomacy.
Conditional recognition of Palestine is not support it's complicity.
Don’t ask us to give up our right to defend ourselves.

Also not an exaggeration to say I want to see the entirety of the liberal party leadership from October 2023 to present day on the dock in the Hague. Where they belong.

Long COVID is Now the Number One Chronic Illness in Children Repeatedly mass infecting kids with COVID is not a public health strategy. It's a fast pass to declining population health

After abandoning every mitigation and infecting kids repeatedly, our media wants to know: why do so many children have Long COVID?

My latest looks at the newest research, the comforting lies that just won't die, and how we got here:

It started with Paul the Apostle, whose letters comprise much of the New Testament. He definitely comes across as sex-repulsed, writing that it would be best if everyone was single and celibate like him but that he was begrudgingly willing to concede to sex within the confines of marriage being ok

Common Misconceptions about COVID Hold Strong as New Variant Spreads Media has the public talking about the "razor blade" COVID variant, but years of inaccurate public health messaging have taken their toll

As NB.1.8.1 spreads, there’s only one thing spreading faster: misinformation. Here, I run down 5 of the most common errors I see circulating about COVID and encourage people to integrate airborne disease mitigation into their lives holistically.

i think 2018 was the first time in alberta i saw the sky turn orange and couldn’t spend a minute outside without choking on ash.

in short, no.

Shadowbringers brought her to the forefront for me - i didn’t feel strongly about her until then. I like the kind of character who cares so, so much but is too invested in their own kayfabe to show it most of the time

unlike most of the scions, it feels like we’re not privy to every last thought she has. makes her feel like she has more of a life and things going on other than just being the WoL’s little buddy. and the glimpses we do get reveal a complex person - vain and monomaniacal, but equally clever and kind

Can I interest you in a spot of dynamite? Always share dynamite with your pals is what I say

I would love “hold to fire” so much. My hands hurt so bad after playing a bunch of HBG in Rise

IG and HH are the classes i like most so i’m just hoping your not gelling with them is more a matter of taste and not because the Wilds versions aren’t fun 😅

It did seem in the trailer like IG was gonna be less about staying in the air now but more interesting on the ground, which is a change i’m a bit nervous about conceptually. It did seem like Wilds was gonna make the insect feel more like part of the kit though so maybe it will be good overall

Oh no. Did you like insect glaive before and found the changes negative or is IG just not your thing in general?

I’m having the same problem with my qunari Rook, she’s too perfect
