Compare and contrast the Government language. £3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’. Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’. And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

after 2k likes, I think it's safe to say this is my first "viral" bluesky post¹ at least it was halfway edutaining, and not, say, one with a typo where I missed a "not" and came off sounding like I'm in favour of something atrocious — ¹ fine, "skeet"

In a lot of ways, Vincent and Charlie is one of the most Manitoban stories I've written. "First stop: the post office. Flyers, the hydro bill, and a missive from the MLA that he dropped, unread, into a recycling bin already half-full of missives from the MLA." patrickjohanneson.com/story/vincen...

"Outperforming" isn't what art does.

aside from Cloudflare and AWS what other internet-breaking single point of failure can we look forward to in the coming weeks

My favourite part of the CloudFlare outage is that I can't log in to CloudFlare to bypass its service because the CAPTCHA on the login page won't load. I'd bet a shiny nickel the CAPTCHA is hosted on CloudFlare.

Canadians—especially Manitobans—if you haven't seen UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE, you really should. Especially if you like absurd humour, always-going-home stories, bildungsromans, Winnipeg's historic Beige District (and the adjacent Grey District), or tears in bottles. Or if you like Tim Horton's tea.

Voivod's "Nothingface" came out in my 16th year, and I'm still listening to it three decades later. just listen to that bassline www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4RL...
