Apparently a bunch of words trigger this kind of response, including redo, delete, help, and these others I've attached. For some reason it was really focused on where I live. Also RIP pulling up definitions from Google, it was a nice feature.

Played through this last night and had a lovely time! Would recommend to anyone looking for a quick hit of fun deduction like Roottrees or Chants of Sennaar.

Excellent investigation from CBC into the fake social media accounts from overseas who are boosting Alberta separatism online. Short video, everyone in Canada should see.

Moment of zen. NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft’s window after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras and zodiacal light is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun.

For a decade, home prices, rent prices, assaults and overdose deaths generally went up in Vancouver, at a fairly rapid rate. But that's no longer the case, and it's an overall trendline that's really worth monitoring.

I used to hate Christmas in Vancouver because I grew up in Ottawa where December is usually snowy. Here, it's usually raining. But now I think it's kind of charming that everyone here still does Christmas activities in the rain because they're so determined to have a good time.

I'm pretty sure that at this point in time, the remaining opposition to renewables are nothing but the tantrums of those with interest in fossil fuels and/or could not get the logic of "there's no cost to obtaining the fuel" to sink into the brain.

The Roottrees are Dead had a bit of a moment this year so you've probably heard of it already, but the attention is well-earned. A document exploration game that spans an entire century of a family's history and drama that really captures that research feel. It's also got a great tiered hint system.

The Fraser Institute published a study on the fiscal cost of Canada’s low-carbon economy -- one that (shocker!) found lots of money spent on relatively few jobs. I fact checked it for them. It didn't go well.
