Let's hope the Manitoba NDP rethinks their plan for a new $3-billion fossil fuel burning turbine power plant in Brandon.

"We're only going to burn methane for peak winter loads" I call BS. This will be used to power AI data centres in Manitoba. It will be burning & polluting constantly & will jack up our utility bills as a direct consequence. You heard it here first. #MbPoli #EndFossilFuels www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Not the 1st use of the Manitoba Municipal Board by NIMBYs to overrule a city decision. In 2022 a city-approved 199-unit complex in Charleswood was blocked by the MMB. That complex was later re-approved by the city, but with only 119 units. We need housing! www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

This looks great! A few of my #gamedev student and I are writing minesweeper clones atm in C++ with @raysan5.bsky.social's Raylib. Lots of interesting edge cases and some deep gameplay given the simple rules.

Love this. This is the weird and wonder full future I always hoped the internet would enable.

"6-7"?! Boy I say boy you gen alpha kids cant be doin' that! Your signifiers need signs boy! You've laid a rhetorical claim to an empty space son! You're creatin' a nihilistic dialectic! Your broccoli hairs obfuscatin' some much needed communication! Find some MEANIN', kid!

I've been listening to a lot of playlists lately and wanting a way to learn more about the currently playing artist without pulling out my phone. I put together a little raspberry pi setup to sit on our shelves and display info about the current playing artist.

Heads up: Hidden in Plain Sight is a super fun 4-player party game. Played with the family last night & had a blast. Quick rounds, easy to pick up, lots of laughs. Yes, it's 14 years. Yes, the graphics are basic. Yes, it's awesome. Available on Steam and Switch.

GORILLAS.BAS FTW! Some of my earliest PC coding involved editing the source code to the BASIC games like Gorillas and Nibbles that shipped with MSDOS. Before that I'd been coding BASIC on the VIC20.
