It will probably be an accurate representation of the actual study, as in the organizers pushing the guards to behave in ways that give them the results they wanted.

The moment the Ottawa Titans won game 3 of their championship. Being in the front row with a sold-out stadium was another amazimg experience. #ottawa

An Evansville Otters player striking out in the top of the 9th inning. With two outs already and the Ottawa Titans leading, this call marks the end of the game.

The energy was amazing tonight watching the Ottawa Titans sweep their playoff match. We're going to the Championship! #ottawa

But it was really important for 2.0 to expand the Redblacks stadium while shrinking the seating for teams like the Charge. Brilliant financial planning.

My personal guess on Ben's "not giving clues" line is that the movie does give you clues, but often doesn't verbally spell out those clues or that it's even giving you them. Someone only paying attention to the literal description of what's on screen won't notice any of that.

I wonder if it's a shorts thing? If shorts get less per view, but those sites assume the long-from ad rates for all views, then those numbers would be way off for a channel that mostly does shorts.

Since I've participated in the past, I want to state publicly that I am not participating in the Inkfort publishing derby this year due to its usage of generative AI. I do not support or use generative AI.

Bayview Station, one month apart. I took the first image because it had a very striking vibe. Thanks to the city, it now looks quite different. #ottawa

April 2026: A stretch of railway track, overgrown and surrounded by foliage. The vegetation is mostly brown due to season, blending with the wood and rusty metal of the tracks. The rails continue toward the camera into an embankment containing the path the photo was taken from.

May 2026: The same stretch of rails, from roughly the same position. Almost all of the foliage has been removed, except for a few trees in the far background. The vegetation has greened, but the scene is still mostly brown from the empty dirt. Almost the only green remaining is the plants growing within the tracks, a reverse of the expected ground colour.

I had a bad feeling about where the show was headed when a major part of season 2 centered gay characters in the 80s fawning over Reagan and his administration. (I know the show timeline's AIDS crisis is different, but it's still written by writers from this timeline.)

I had to dig to figure out how I even ended up on that AI Hater blocklist because I haven't said much here, but I'm wearing that block as a badge of pride. (Best I can tell I ended up on that list because I liked a quote tweet of a founder post. Literally, that's it.)

Farengeto @farengeto.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

I somehow managed to get the last ticket in this theatre for the TADC finale on premiere night, and I could not be more excited. And also completely dreading whatever psychological horrors await us in that finale.

The fact this only hitting the news now makes me concerned they've already decided on a shutdown, and this PR is just to build consent for it.

The praise for Ottawa's LRT improving turned ironic fast, since the line is indefinitely incapable of running full peak service because around two-thirds of the entire fleet is out of service from design defects.

And if you do spend years refining the "perfect" thing, that doesn't even mean it will be "good" because you've probably gotten so lost in your own head you may have lost sight of what it actually needs, while neglecting technical foundations you would otherwise learning by doing more things.

010

Farengeto @farengeto.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Perfect is always the enemy of good. You can spend years endlessly refining the same thing, chasing the impossible dream of perfection. Or in the same time you could have put out any number of projects, each giving valuable insight on how to improve the next one.

Even if the problem was exclusively the tracks, it's not like tearing them all up to accommodate the existing trains was ever going to realistically be the solution.

020

Farengeto @farengeto.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

Regardless of whether the problem is the rail or the train it's been almost five years since the need for a redesign of the wheel assembly was identified, yet it feels like we're no closer to getting a resolution to that.

130

Farengeto @farengeto.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

They can't even seem to decide whether the problem is that the wheels are not suitable for the track or that the track is not suitable for the wheels

They want to be taken seriously as opposition but also they don't want to say anything too strong because they're afraid of mean comments on Twitter

Videos so exclusively about games and nothing else, like last year's "Fantasies of Nuremberg". No political or controversial topics in those videos.

I don't think I've ever lost enthusiasm on something that's at the perfect intersection of my nerdy interests as fast as I did when I looked up the prices on the Lego Pokemon announcement. Absolute madness.

Also, canonically, the entire reason they're villains is because the abandoned the truth of the one true god - who is shown to exist - to embrace fire and brimstone, with the most "atheist in a Christian movie" origin story. I almost wouldn't be shocked if Cameron made a cult out of this.

Farengeto @farengeto.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

I think my enjoyment of these movies is almost inversely proportional to how much they resemble real cultures. Alien culture unlike anything we've seen? Cool worldbuilding. Fire people behaving like the stereotype of the "godless Indian savage"? Very uncomfortable in the theatre.

"Rude" is such a weird one for a hide by default because that could mean anything from "said something kinda mean" to "bigoted harassment that we didn't want to flag as discriminatory because that label would upset the bigots"

Since Publishing Derby is over, I can finally reveal my entry for this year: Blood Upon the Wind is a historical fantasy murder mystery. A killer vampire is on the loose and the only one that can stop them is a strange detective who is not what he seems. I'll be relaunching this fall so stay tuned!

"On-street parking, except at very specific times" is in practice just "on-steeet parking full-time, unless you bring an army of tow trucks in." It only takes one bad driver to stop making it a transit lane.

This is the same guy who wrote an essay about how the Rwandan genocide was fabricated to make Canada look good, so the credibility bar is already low. But also, if it's not him, failing to claim your name on a major social media platform as a political candidate is really dropping the ball.

I don't really have a point to make on this one it's just an interesting visual metaphor

Since I'm already being controversial today... With Pride in Ottawa coming up next week, for those who boycotted Capital Pride 2024 and feel bold enough to show up this year: you may want to forget what you did, but some of us still remember. #ottawa

I’m back! I saw your messages on here & elsewhere—thank you all <3. I’m deeply disappointed in @bsky.app moderation; equating pushback against people like JKR with the harm they cause to trans ppl only enables more violence. I’ll talk more soon but even a day away from social media has been healthy.

The more articles I see about Bluesky, the more it feels like an industry psyop because they see a site being moderately successful while having basic tools for limiting hate speech, and seethe at the notion someone could exist happily without constantly debating fascists.

Farengeto @farengeto.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

90% of "free speech" discourse seems to just be "you need to let me call you more slurs without consequence." And if you're a minority you better be prepared for *every* one of those conversations to be debating your existence in society.

My one UI hot take: Dark mode has killed good light mode design. Our interfaces used to actually have colour and contrast in there. Now that dark mode is the default and everything is shades of black, many designers just do a lazy invert for light mode and make everything blindingly solid white.
