Steal from workers = go to jail.

Did you also watch Téléfrancais in school? in c/[email protected]

People have uploaded all the episodes to YouTube now.

It’s just not the same though. The true experience is watching it on a TV/VCR on a cart that the teacher wheeled in.

Justice served. This was probably one of those deadbeat renters that wasn’t even tipping their landlord.

Stubbornly high US inflation grew stronger than expected in March , vaulting to a 3.5% increase from last year in c/[email protected]

“High corporate profits are a main driver of ongoing inflation, and companies continue to keep prices high even as their inflationary costs drop.”

It’s a misnomer to call this “inflation” — it’s corporate collusion-driven price gouging.

Have only played two players so far. Even then, there was a lot of downtime, especially when you get to the third and fourth rounds.

Wyrmspan - First Impressions (lemm.ee)
 

It’s a fun, more complex, dragon-themed game built on the foundations of Wingspan — familiar, but very different.

It’s a lot of fun seeing the victory point-generating system you’ve built kick into gear, though once you start chaining things together turns can take forever. This, unfortunately, kind of sucks for the non-active player(s), as there’s nothing to do but sit and wait between turns.

Playing this game with four players must take forever.

Staffers who left Ford government over Greenbelt scandal got exit packages: sources (www.thetrillium.ca)
 

From the article:

“It’s normal for government employees to receive severance if they’re fired. But Amato and Truesdell got payouts from the government despite quitting, making their cases unusual, according to three sources who've worked, or work, in ministers' offices, including one who shared a copy of their own contract.”

Tell me your government is clueless about students and schools without actually telling me in c/[email protected]

A bunch of school boards in Ontario have launched lawsuits against TikTok, Snapchat, and Meta, alleging the way the social media platforms are designed is harming children and disrupting schools.

Ford disagrees with the lawsuits, but also believes that his ban on cellphones in schools in 2019 was effective. This demonstrates yet again that he and his government are clueless when it comes to education in this province.

The artwork on some of the Terraforming Mars cards already has a janky, AI-generated look, frankly.
