Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

I spent the summer trying to understand what makes Mark Carney's government tick. What I found is a C-Suite obsessed with efficiency — which is trying to ignore what's deeply broken. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Justin Ling: Who does Mark Carney really listen to? I asked the insiders
It’s become clear that the prime minister would much rather circumvent problems than fix them.

Many people don't understand probability very well and many of them are resistant to having it explained to them. This leads some designers to creating mechanics that work like the player's instinctive (read: fucking wrong) understanding of probability, further confusing everyone.

relatedly, it would be cool to get an electoral system that is not first-past-the-post

thinking about this again today, and not even in the context of procgen. The thing about systems design is that it's so easy to get excited about making little sandboxes for yourself that you forget the player needs insight into it, lest it simply appear the same as complete randomness.

It’s amazing what’s possible when you abolish zoning and height limits in a city. They’ll try to scare you claiming you’ll live next to a concrete plant, but the reality is the land is worth too much so instead you get a vibrant community and a tax base for the city’s economy

I think my cat might be a creep, or in witsec.
a grey cat lurking, his head in total shadow, but his body is lit softly from above, he is letterboxed by darkness, a bed above and carpet below

one imagines he leers at the camera
