I Love Boosters was great it's like if jem and the holograms did heists instead if music

Bwaaahahahahahahahahaaaa www.vice.com/en/article/t...

BAH! Enough talk! My <Beam Blast> shall make short work of you!

Finally watched Skinamarink last night and it really is the final boss of Vibes Movies (complimentary). Atmospheric as hell, really brings you into the setting and is spoooooky as hell. Also just really good shot compositions, feels very much like a video installation like you'd find in a gallery

Pretty sure I was in the protest in that thumbnail. 2013ish, a night-time noise demo against the Northern Gateway pipeline that saw hundreds of people march to the Wall Centre to loudly harass a shareholder meeting. (Also, I designed that wave-fist image on the Rising Tide banner 🫢)

Happy Tuesday!!

Happy long weekend, americans! We had one of them. Wednesday days off, yesterday. So Tuesday was Friday which meant that yesterday was monday, and so tomorrow is Friday but it's also Tuesday Anyway it was nice to sleep in at least

tangentially, i know and have worked with folks in vancouver who have a filmography like this. these generational talents whose work appears in some really excellent contemporary cartoons. the biz is still in a rough patch but there are so many incredibly skilled people out there

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...

15-1: Hamilton City Council votes to prohibit all new data centres in Hamilton for up to two years. Council is using Interim Control Bylaw. The first bylaw is for one year. The next term's Council can vote to extend for an additional year. Second vote, 2-14 against McMaster's data centre #HamOnt

Me, out loud to myself, while deciding what to wear when I leave the house: "Lomg pant,,, but shormt sleemve"

i have earned the right to buy a bingus (i don't really have any plans to buy a bingus, but now i can)

Sending this to my uncle when he starts acting up...

When Google sheets is down "due to high traffic" but it's deadline day

I forgot my gym shorts when I went bouldering today so I had to climb in the bright red jeggings I showed up in. It was also my best climbing day in a long time, so maybe they gave me special powers. Concerning turn of events.

TOMORROW, June 27, is Canada's first national day of protesting against AI data centres. Join us in Vancouver! 13 cities are organizing protests, and if you live elsewhere you can protest at your local city hall too! #vanpoli #vancouver #bcpoli #cdnpoli #canada #NoAI #BigTech #DataCentres

Bailing out developers by using public funds to buy unabsorbed condos is the wrong approach to the housing crisis. It’s an investment banker’s plan that ignores root causes. Canadians deserve a strategy focused on affordable supply, not developer profits. Read my full statement. #CdnPoli #Housing

Our organizers wrote an petition to the House of Commons, sponsored by MP @jennykwan.bsky.social, to stop the accelerated push for AI infrastructure and put power back in the hands of communities. All Canadians are welcome to sign! Please share widely! #canada #cdnpoli #noai #BigTech #DataCentres

Yet another marathon run where we end up forced into final exfil and I make it with 5 seconds to spare because I'm a vandal and my poor triage pal is left behind huffing and puffing behind me

i do not wish the game industry a "shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less." i wish the game industry a "unionize and redistribute capital equitably"

Saying one of the most prolific live service titles “fell short of expectations” in a massive layoff announcement is a slap in the face to every dev and every player who knows how much Destiny meant in an industry where longevity is rare. Whose expectations did it fail? The investors? The execs?

Closed-loop cooling means only at the rack. ~80% of a datacenter's total water footprint is upstream thermoelectric power generation, not on-site cooling. Going dry-cooled at the facility raises PUE by 0.05-0.15 → more electricity for the same IT load → more water diverted at the power plant.

"hey why do you like playing marathon so much?" i just finished two runs and my body feels like i just escaped a demon that was chasing me, i'm so full of adrenaline lmao

For whatever it’s worth I also have a lot of implementation experience in Unity and other engines, and can write C#, Python, CSS, and HTML.

IT'S MY GIRL

The Canadian government is eyeing changes to the Canada Labour Code that could widen the definition of “essential services” to include work that’s important to the “well-being of the population.” “These workers are essential to corporate profits, not human life” said Teamsters’ Christopher Monette

Happy Juneteenth to all who celebrate. Another day to remember that we freed ourselves.

The art of Marathon: aftermath.site/marathon-bungi...

New piece in @themainlander.bsky.social from members of the VTU - councillors and candidates in the so-called progressive parties are on notice: stop voting for the displacement, renoviction, and demoviction of tenants in this city and actually listen to our needs and demands! Fight for us!

As FIFA (or the start of the COVID pandemic) has proven, it is very possible for cities, provinces, countries to move quickly and to spare no expense when they feel something is urgent. Which is proof that they simply do not see any urgency in the many existential threats we face today

The hotter the weather is, the stronger the wind can be and still get called "a breeze"

I think every media person who has spent the last 3-4 years warning everyone that AI is a scam should, when the bubble bursts, get one billion dollars each to run our normal businesses for the next 1000 years. seems fair.

I can't stop thinking about marathon. I just want to play it all the time but I have a JOB and various other obligations Anyway had a lot of fun on outpost duos tonight, died almost every run except the last one but even the failures were fun or at least funny

Its just this meme over and over again. STOP BUYING STUDIOS TO CLOSE THEM

"In Europe, we spend €1bn to monitor space for asteroids, even if the actual risk of a civilisation-ending asteroid strike is close to zero. But governments don’t commit to spend a fraction of that amount to adequately monitor a threat that is more imminent, more likely, and located here on Earth"

Went to go see Primitive Man tonight, touring with Napalm Death. The former was excellent, as expected, but Napalm Death? I'm a convert. The lead singer's been at it since 1989 and holy jeez such high energy, great performance - they rocked VERY hard, I was surprised at how great it was

Something i like about adulthood is that my friends and I are at the age where we're all fighting to bring the things to share for a bbq lunch

At this point the things the Carney government has put into law (or, like bill C-22, is attempting to) are so egregious and unprecedented that I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that Poilievre would have been worse.

Just did a solo sponsored run on perimeter and was having a real bad time of it, got killed by a rook like 15 minutes in, and all i can think now is "was my grey salvage and one (1) blue valuable worth it"

Mark Carney’s AI strategy suggests Canadians’ concerns about AI will evaporate if they become more “literate” about the technology. In trying to boost industry, Carney ignores many of the biggest concerns about generative AI and data centres. If anyone needs to become more AI literate, it’s him.

FIFA would work well as one of the evil factions that pay Runners to do illegal things in Marathon

MOTHERFUCKER

Post a cartoon you remember that (you think) no one else remembers Dr. Snuggles (1979) A dreamlike cartoon about a friendly inventor and his various anthropomorphic animal/tree/robot pals. It's wild to me that I can find stuff about this on the internet at all.

Statement from The Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800 on Martin Scorsese’s recent promotion of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) The Art Directors Guild represents storyboard and concept artists in live-action film, series, and commercials

And meanwhile Vancouver is in the process of building not one but TWO of them (one was approved in 2023 under a rezoning amendment to include "bulk data storage" but AI data centres are enormously full of GPUs which are not "storage") But we are fighting them!
