It might be time for me to stop reading Daring Fireball. Gruber is turning out to be a gross tech-libertarian who sometimes says the most crazy things. Besides, it’s probably good to cut down on US voices in my media diet right now, especially those who make a career of defending big corps.
More GURPS 4th Edition Revised info: Dr. Kromm and the rest of Steve Jackson Games have, as is often the case, posted a very well done FAQ page about it. The work that went into this book is beyond what you’d see from almost any other publisher.
If you’re curious about some of the changes in GURPS 4th Edition Revised, there’s an overview on the Ravens N’ Pennies blog!
La BD de Boulet sur les IA (de)generatives est excellent… j’espere qu’il fera une version en Anglais bientot pour partager ca plus largement.
Those last minute trade changes from the US were pretty crazy. Limits on how we trade with other countries, auto/steel tariffs lowered only partially, removal of Canadian content and French language rules on streaming platforms, etc. Basically the first step to annexation. Fuck the US.
Looks like a majority of Canadians agree with Carney walking out of the US trade talks, which is good. Of course the CPC are a bunch of wankers (43% disagree). Weird to see SK disagree more than AB (19% vs 16%). Also most people think we’re not coming back.
This widely shared Australian take on the recent breakdown in Canada/US trade talks is indeed very entertaining, but it’s wrong on one thing: Trump won’t lose the midterms. He’ll cheat or deploy troops to win. But maybe dealing with a full-blown nazi dictator will make our politics easier.
Filling in on drums for another band’s private gig… had to learn like 30 songs in a week 😅 No pressure!
CBC’s live update page on the US tariff situation mentions that Carney says he will do “whatever it takes” to support business. I wonder if that includes a wealth tax 😅
Carney finally acknowledged how unreliable the US has become and walked away from trade talks. I’m sure he fully expected it would end like this, and was just doing his due diligence before while buying time to setup trade with other countries. That’s the part he’s supposedly good at.
