Any company that participates in shrinkflation should be legally obligated to add a label like "Now with less for the same price!"

Regarding the hullabaloo on Carney today, can I just say I'd be really scared to have a Prime Minister (ever) who hadn't studied the risk of US Invasion? The thought is an absolute nightmare, but it would be foolish not to be think through it as a possibility. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Canada’s Carney says he studied risk of US invasion
The prime minister said it’s his responsibility to “look at extreme tail risk” of American military action but said he now has a “good relationship” with Trump.

Played it through twice. Best Tokyo vibes of any game I've found. It's hit and miss, but had some pretty cool vibes overall.

Had to look up the word "mendacious" today. Any guess what the context was?

Toss up between King's Quest and Simcity for me. These two solidified my love of single-player PC games, which is still going strong ~40 years on.

In the last month I've visted them a few times, and scooped up about 15. A lot of my faves (All the Super Mario Bros, Zelda I & II, some racing ones, RPGs etc.) The prices aren't super cheap for those ($3-$50 CAD). Worth every penny.

I spent a few hours goofing around searching for old sci-fi novels and Nintendo games this weekend at the Stittsville Flea Market. They're closing down at the end of September and I'm sad because places like this are disappearing. Truly "one person's trash is another's treasure."
Three NES games (Wrestlemania, Adventures of LInk, and Ice Hockey) and three vintage science fiction novels (Endworld, Robots of Dawn, and Gate of Ivrel) neatly arranged in two rows.

Just encountered this as a description of Cyberpunk advertising: "cheerful, frictionless, aspirational copy sitting directly on top of something ontologically horrifying"
