I recently found out that Canada loses about of 7 of its small farms every day. So I talked to small farmers across Manitoba. Here’s what I learned. 🧵

No one ever changed someone’s mind by calling them stupid. Or uneducated. Or evil. You have to listen to someone before they’ll listen to you. Approach arguments, debates, and conversation in general, with unconditional understanding and empathy — even if (and especially when) it’s unreciprocated.

Damn, I love games. All kinds of em. I love making games, I love playing games, I love losing at games and winning games, I love playing on the table at home, at my local board game meetup, on the internet with my friends. What a life.

Some goofy BTS from my short film 'Eventually' that I shot with my younger brother, on our farm :) At the time of shooting, my only camera was a 12 year old Nikon D3300, and that's what I used. Scrappy and laid-back shoot, but loads of fun. #shortfilm #filmmaking

Eventually was selected for its first screening! 🍿 It’s a huge honour to have one of my films play at a local film festival (one I submitted to the day before the deadline!)

My first short film is COMPLETE! A three minute film shot on a 12 year old DSLR, ‘Eventually’ follows a struggling but capable teenager through his increasingly odd responsibilities on a family farm. 🧵1/6

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.

This case is an important one to watch if you care about your own right to know. If the police are free to arrest, detain and block journalists while acting on industry's behalf, our whole information ecosystem gets eroded.

Is there a good reason for me to care so much more about Canadian lives than Swiss ones? Lately it's been bothering me how often news stories talk of the few, singular, or even *potential* North Americans hurt abroad - instead of acknowledging the equal horror of any life being lost in a tragedy.

Canadian Press News:

Headline: "Global Affairs Canada not aware of any Canadians hurt or killed in Swiss bar fire"

Excerpt: Global Affairs Canada says it's not currently aware of any Canadian citizens among the dozens killed and hundreds injured in a Swiss bar fire.

Watching Trump speak and justify why the US is entitled to invade another country and kidnap the president makes me think that when we started talking about the “post-truth” era, we had no idea of how deeply post-truth it’d become. Perception of reality is now random and optional.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

1/2 For the avoidance of doubt, my own take on the Avatar movies is: Visual treats with mostly simplistic stories, by design because Cameron hedges his deep tech engagement with familiar, tropey scripts that sell well globally. This has been his mode since T2 at least and he executes well on it.
