Reading the latest BC politics news and tearing my hair out over the fact that no one seems to care that the outgoing leader made anti-Indigenous racism a centrepiece of their party's platform. Feels like no one but @theserfstv.bsky.social has even brought this up over the last few weeks.
This is the kind of ray tracing I enjoy. In the '90s everyone seemed to be obsessed with reflective spheres.

What a horrible, short-sighted idea.
Toronto Star@thestar.com · last wk.#Breaking: The federal government will allow private ownership of four major airports — including Toronto’s Pearson, Canada’s busiest — in a move that breaks with a decades-long arrangement that saw them run by non-profits on government-owned land.

Between the Vancouver mayoral race and whatever is going on with the BC Conservatives, this week's theme has been "I love BC politics!"

The Politics Understanders are here to tell us that doing anything differently is impossible. Thank you for your contribution!
Pundit Brain is so exhausting. People posting takes like "Well that just how politics works in the western world" or whatever without any deeper analysis or context. Yeah I guess we shouldn't bother trying to change anything.

The horrifying realization that Coyote Vs Acme delighted me as a 90s style legal thriller for the same reason Roger Rabbit delighted old people as a 50s noir.
People like to tell you that Wile E. Coyote and Raph Wolf are different guys just because one has a black nose and the other a red nose. Not true. They are the same guy. All of us contain infinite possible selves.
Everyone needs to go out and see Coyote vs. Acme immediately!
Tim Curry. A 10/10 actor in any medium. Most people will focus Rocky Horror or Clue. But for me he'll also be Stratos in my favourite game of all time, Sacrifice, and also Gabriel Knight in Sins of Fathers ("Tell me more about voodoo").

Watching the QuakeCon broadcast and John Romero just referenced NoSkill, widely considered of the best early Doom deathmatchers. Sadly he passed away in a car accident in the early 2000s.
