The Stochastic Game

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 A drawing by me for an unpublished #Glorantha #TTRPG campaign book.

Good morning! Have you taken a refreshing mud bath lately?

British Columbia is such a hippie granola-eating place that we have a ton of “free range” parents who don’t vaccinate their kids (for entirely different reasons than the right-wing antivax crowd) Enough to have an even lower vaccination rate than Gaines County, Texas. WTF.

Onomatopoeia Odyssey, or “How do animals sound across languages?”

I love this kind of website! Scroll down to the duck and pig, who sound VERY different in various languages.

“Pierre Poilievre wants to axe the tax, even if it is the wrong one”: what an asshole that guy is. He’s keeping his slogan hoping that people will still be motivated by it even after it’s outdated, and goes after a tax that does make complete sense. What the fuck.

Wooohoo there’s a chance we might see the “Coyote vs ACME” movie after all. Fingers crossed.
