Bluesky! I've never really used any social media, guess this'll be a first.

If the PQ wins tonight, hopefully they’ll follow through on their promise to enact electoral reform. Unlike the CAQ in Quebec before and Justin Trudeau federally, who both abandoned their promises.

Parti québécois 28% of vote = 46% of seats Liberals 24% = 31% of seats Conservatives 21% = 15% CAQ 13% = 0% Québec solidaire 12% = 7%

My Steam Deck finally gets a friend!

I hate to do this but @fanatical.com aren’t leaving much choice. They don’t reply to emails for multiple weeks at a time, and I’m getting a bit tired on waiting for a partner payout that they seem to be dodging emails on. Do better Fanatical.

Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Austria and Iceland have all been named among the safest countries in the world to travel in 2026.

No city in Canada has a “laissez-faire” housing system. They all strictly regulate what you can build and where. Montreal is a little better (less single-family zoning) but it’s still true here. When you limit the supply of housing below demand, what happens? We’re doing this to ourselves.

The Lego Game Boy is a brick masterpiece, and that's not based on a brief tradeshow hands-on. I bought it myself (early!), I built it, I compared it to a real vintage Game Boy. Minor quibbles, but it's so fun to build.

Montreal to build modular housing for the homeless in Namur-Hippodrome and Louvain-West

I’ve reported on homelessness for years and met many, many people who have found themselves in awful situations Every single one of them had more decency and integrity than this privileged plutocrat

I just watched someone put ketchup, mustard, and relish on a slice of cheese pizza. Is this something that some people do or is this person just out of their mind?

“you doing ok?” me:

@lawrenceyang.bsky.social, I am trying to find the minimum operating and storage temperature for the Steam Deck OLED but I can only find a PCGamer article where you said the Deck with throttle below 0°C. Is there a temperature where I shouldn't take the Deck OLED outside, even while not playing?

This could be a good change for someone using mobile data a lot, like myself.

Dude, a government agency shouldn't be allowed to make jokes this good.
