Hot take: the tyranny of the broadcast clock makes for better programming. Podcasts & video series would to well to pick a length and stick to it - to the minute, at least, if not to the second.

The fact that the one game made by an explicitly communist co-op game studio now has three successor studios making a self-proclaimed sequel to it, and dispute the legitimacy of the other two is, of course, the most communist outcome possible.

I had no idea. I knew Alligator Pie the book, and I knew Alligator Pie the album, but somehow lived 40 years without ever encountering Alligator Pie the video fever dream.

This is why I don’t want to check. If an accountant looked up from their adding machine and told me it was more than $7 a day I wouldn’t doubt them.

I don't know how much I spent on ice cream and at this point I'm scared to check.

Seriously, check out Rosewater! Something that separates it from most point-and-clicks is that you assemble a party of diverse characters over the course of the game, and as you get to know them and build relationships, you open up new puzzle solutions and story paths.

Just a very fun, chill game!

the year is 2001. you climb off the bus at a majority-Jewish summer camp in central Ontario. Settling into your cabin, your bunkmate asks if you prefer Dave Matthews or Sublime. Everyone must choose a side.

drug treatment Ontario often sets people up fail and 100% puts people at increased risk of overdose without robust supports once the residential piece is finished.

the #PTBO politicians touting this system at the expense of other supports have absolutely no clue what they are talking about
