I'm publishing this instead, because a) this will do more to punish Air Canada for trying to screw me over; and b) this can help you book your tickets in the future.

When a company wants the government to intervene to prohibit third parties from publishing factual information about its prices, that's a bad look.

I've seen a few accounts posting about similar (obscene) demands (and the authors who told them to take flying f...). I think the @sfwa.bsky.social account has some posts/info up too (but I can't remember)

I hate it when publishers do shady shit, just to see who will push back, and who will go along. Always push back.

I kind of drifted away a bit, and didn't really start buying much new music again until the pop-punk movement was in swing - in part due to the rise of Guitar Hero/Rock Band plastic instrument fun, and the new songs/bands those games introduced me to. eg Paramore, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc.

The Trump administration is weaponizing the DOJ and DHS to generate propaganda to push its “rigged election" narrative. The timing and promotion of arrests of non-citizens for alleged voter fraud suggests a strategic effort to push their false narrative. Thread:

One would guess that the younger players (esp. rookies) will get more snaps as the season goes along and they learn/develop. Both because the older players are still mostly healthy/less dinged up earlier in the season, and as the staffers develop more faith in the youngsters.

Pyperkub @pyperkub.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

And the number of immigrants kidnapped who haven't committed crimes (per the initial lie) is about 90% of the totals, I'd guess.

At some point one has to wonder if one of the reasons LLM's don't respect boundaries and 'cheat' is because their owners don't... www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

An OpenAI model was caught trying to cheat at StarCraft, and of course it did it by stealing a human's work

GPT-6 Astra tried to get a leg-up in Blizzard's RTS by pilfering a human-created bot.

An important Bijan Robinson fact is that I asked him at his draft what show he was binge watching and he said THE MARVELOUS MS MAISEL. I think of this often.

Dear #WashingtonStateParks: if you are going to pull this shit you need to put the info on the website, which says the campground is year round and says NOTHING about it being closed. parks.wa.gov/find-parks/s... If I weren't resourceful, I'd be stranded.🤬 #BikeSky #BicycleTravel #HikerBiker

I would probably have ended up working more on Warlords Battlecry (the well-received Warlords RTS after warlords 3/Darklords Rising) tho, but knew a lot of the team on PoP3d.

Pyperkub @pyperkub.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Yeah, I remember we were gearing up for PoP3d when O'Leary and TLC gutted Broderbund. I think I got a look at an early demo. I worked more on the Warlords 3 games under the RedOrb moniker, with a bit of work on The Last Express and I can't recall if Riven was released under RedOrb, but I think so.
