This is a Turgle, a nasty predator creature on an alien world, for an unpublished sci-fi #TTRPG book.
The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery
“Ottawa pledges $1.5 billion over 10 years for Metro Vancouver transit”: nice to see the government investing in transit around the country. I’m sure we’d all love more public scrutiny of TransLink’s finances, but it’s also nice to not see the press frame this as a “loss”. This is investment.
Nice walk around the lake today with the good fluffy boy. Once again, lots of ducks means lots of treats to leave them alone!
When we get heavy rains, the area around Deer Lake really lives up to its wetland nature… and the good fluffy boy gets lots of treats from me so he leaves the ducks alone!
This is the kind of stuff that made me prefer Freeland over Carney. I can see the political and economic rationale behind this decision, but however you look at it, we need more taxes on the wealthy, not less.
We replaced one of our two Rokus last year with an Apple TV when Roku moved towards more advertising… looks like it’s going to get worse. Still, we miss the Roku. The Apple TV interface isn’t good, and the remote sucks.
“Few journalists, Few questions. An election campaign just the way Poilievre likes it”: this short summary of Poilievre’s contempt for journalists, and who he wants to give money to and take money away from, should be enough to convince anyone to keep the fuck away from this guy.
In case you want to be even angrier at the shitty “AI” companies that scrape the internet for their shitty LLMs, it looks like they’re literally attacking open-source infrastructure. Their scraping possibly reaches over 70% of all traffic to these servers! WTF.
“Marathon Vancouver airport hotel strike ends after 1,411 days”: holy shit that’s a long strike. Back in France, the much different union model has downsides, but the upside is that it’s easier for workers to fuck shit up and get things resolved faster.
An Issaries merchant is showing you his merchandise, what do you buy? A drawing by me for an unpublished #Glorantha #TTRPG campaign book.
