I don’t care how cool their end products may be, they’re built on unethical and poisoned foundations.

I finally got around to mounting the trophies from my last visit to Canada.

Eight different root beer bottle caps mounted on a piece of blue matte board and framed. They are Barq's, Frostie, Stewards, The Pop Shoppe, A&W, Jones, Dad's (Diet), and Virgil's. This is all that I could find in Deer Lake and Corner Brook.

Yeah, Ubisoft killing that black-led Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction paired with this just broke my heart into a million pieces. I need Rockstar to meet the challenge Ubisoft was too cowardly to take on. RDR 3. Please.

for those unfamiliar, d’angelo was a HUGE fan of the game series to the point he made an original song for RDR2 with rockstar.

the point where it comes in really meets the moment and depth of the story at that point. might be time for another replay youtu.be/eP_0yz605Sw?...

You wouldn’t take “no kings” as an attack on Trump unless you view Trump as a king.

The spread to the suburbs has been so smart. The other week I was deep in Scarborough’s highland creek and there were teenagers barreling down the path on them. Many cycling seeds planted.

Bike share revenue is up over 30% compared to last year, and now has close to 300k unique customers. That is 10% of the population of Toronto! I also think that their internal forecasts are a little pessimistic pinning 2025 rides at 8.1 million. I forecast closer to 8.3M when the year is over.

The Cdn embassy in Tokyo is epic in scope. Such grandness + materials + size in a compact city. Bungalowish bldns for staff. A real moment: Japan’s 80s boom but also a Cdn bigness vs cheapness. An internationalism too. Bring it back. It’s our only way around the USA. Pics from Oct 2023 walking by.

Every time I share one of these I feel kinda like I’m being pushy but each one only gets about 15-20 new subscribers.

Bit of a mystery why so many more people follow me without also following the SciArt Feed. Maybe just from me being in Starter Packs?
