2025 in a nutshell.

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

My choir is singing tonight in New Westminster!

Weird Al unironicly singing a cover of RATM's Killing in the Name of. No accordion. No parody lyrics. No censoring. Real anger in his voice. What timeline are we in again?

Practiced three times, already comfortable pronouncing it. Welcoming stal̕əw̓asəm to my #NewWest vocabulary! (pronunciation example included in link) www.pattullobridgereplacement.ca/bridge-name/

This is a Mark Twain quote, but to hear Jesse speak it rather than sing it makes me feel like we're all in deep shit.

Americans are fed a steady diet of propaganda about Black people, and @lesdoggg.bsky.social isn't having it

Coding should be more like this.

If PEMDAS/BEDMAS is so f**king cool... 3 ÷ ⅓ 3 ÷ 1 ÷ 3 3 ÷ 3 1 Oh, suddenly *now* proper use of brackets and context is super important? It should be illegal to use ÷ without putting both the numerator and denominator into brackets. Straight to math jail.

Beautiful video visualizing why finding the roots of the quintic is impossible. Or, "You thought the quadratic formula you learned in high school was hard, there a reason it's hard, and it gets much, much worse."

Some days I'm so frustrated with America that I think I should swap my oven from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Just got my first credit card with a 2030 expiration year. Why is time?

plugging the board game store in tinseltown, my favourite and most cursed mall across the street from my home honestly the mall could be 90% empty but as long as it, the cat cafe, bali thai and the movie theatre are still running i'll keep stanning

Jira down for everyone or just me? "The request has been rate-limited. Please try again later."

What code review looks like in my workplace...

Had a good weekend. Tired now.

Pluribus/Plur1bus: Vince Gilligan watched the first episodes of The Walking Dead and The Last of Us and thought: "Yea, I could do better than that."

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Mamdani: So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.

This Zohran speech is fire. Like Obama 2004 good.

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

I get it now. They desperately want people to lash out do they can crack down. But Americans are not lashing out, they're being peaceful. So they need to starve people so they'll lash out and riot to get food, so they can crack down and have a reason to take over.

OK algorithm, I'd like to go back to ignoring baseball now, thank you.

Like all societal conventions, the end of daylight time is something we *choose* to observe. Daylight time is still there, ticking along, not having jumped an hour, not harming anyone, and we're just collectively ignoring it. Anyway, enjoy your 25 hour day, weirdos.

Incredibly well researched and powerful video from Johnny Harris. As pissed off as Canadians are at America, their ramping up to deport millions of immigrants remains the most terrifying aspect of the American regime.

I am disappointed it's been over 25 years since Korn's "Freak on a Leash", but I've yet to see the phrase on a little dog sweater.

del Toro's Frankenstein was *phenomenal*. See it in the theatre if you can.

In Canada we have a dumb song called "The War of 1812" by "Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie", which recounts the history of a two century old war of America failing to conquer Canada. The details of The War of 1812 are best not mentioned in front of Americans, as it would be embarrassing for them.

Nighttime Skytrain from Burnaby to New Westminster. From Production Way-University to New Westminster Station in 12 minutes, compressed to 18 seconds.

Once more into the game developer breach. We love this game but it feels like this awful combination of world and personal events have lead to persistent delays.

We're at @protocon-bc.bsky.social the weekend of November 8th, and will have several demos of our pirate semi-coop adventure "Tis Mutiny!". We look forward to sailing with new crew soon!

How many hours are there in a day? Computer Programmer: It depends. Some days have 24 hours, but some have 23 and others have 25.... Strange things happen in the circuits while the humans sleep.

Google, add a "Not Interested Forever, never ask me about this again" to your damned search results popup.

Wait, I'm confused. Is Antifa the name of the frog? #nokings

Local frog celebrity spotted at No Tyrants rally in Vancouver, Canada. We've made it, folks. #nokings

Time for a little self care out of the heavy rain. Big crowd in wet weather, maybe maxed out at around 1500 when two protests merged at #nokingsvancouverbc

Ad seen on a bus, today. 2023? Over 2 years old? #TerryFoxRun

Finally got around to playing with TransLink realtime GTFS data. Kind of fun. Transit in Vancouver is looking pretty good, especially considering this is an hour midday on a holiday weekend, with some lines not running (hello 44) and not all buses reporting real-time information.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Good news! I get to work 4 days a week at home for the remainder of the project! Bad news: I will continue to have to work 3 days a week at my workplace for the remainder of the project. See everybody again in March...

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Never swallow the Dentic.

The job situation is apocalyptic out there for people under 30. Whatever our civic, provincial, and federal governments are trying to do to create more jobs, it's not working.

i took a stab at editing ezra klein’s most recent comments about trans people and electoral politics to make a point often lost by the american liberal commentariat
