“I just chose words carefully.”: a short amazing tale about Super Metroid and monospace text justification.

Just learned about the efghij programming language, which, I guess, is “literally object oriented” in that programs are “written” by stacking everyday objects on top of each other. For example, this is a factorial function:

“After years of family doctor shortages, the North Shore has room for 20,000 new patients”: it’s nice when a government kinda sort of does their job. Took them long enough, but good stuff.

“Here’s the full leaked document causing a stir in Alberta”: of course Danielle Smith wants to build a whole bunch of AI data centres in Alberta. With some natural gas pipelines to power them. Through Crown Corporations. While courting separatists. LOL.

A nice sunrise in the park. Good fluffy boy for scale.

I have a joke about DELTA GREEN but… I don’t feel like telling it. I’m depressed, my family left me, I’m addicted to some unidentified Tibetan drug, room corners look weird to me for some reason, and I just blacked out, wait what day is it?

I have a joke about RuneQuest but my left leg hurts too much to tell it… wait, WHERE IS MY LEFT LEG?

“How Carney Is Changing Notions of Canada”: This is a good summary of how Carney is navigating the country right now, at least in terms of external / international strategy. There’s of course a bunch more to say about his national projects.

“EU chief says she wants Canada to become the bloc’s 1st associate member”: I have my problems with Carney but he’s definitely doing the work that we elected him for, so that’s good. And I wouldn’t mind some of the EU’s consumer regulations and taxes on corporations…

The good fluffy boy has now been renamed Drooly McDrool-Face
