a portion of an email from Cathy Sproule on behalf of the Heather McPherson campaign. ""Grim Leaper."


Over my nine years as an elected woman in politics in the Prairies, I've been called a lot of things, but when then Premier Brad Wall gave me that name in the Saskatchewan Legislature in May 2016, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. I knew it would stick.


The Leap Manifesto vote at the 2016 federal convention wasn't to adopt it, just to let riding associations review it. I didn't like the way it had been pushed at convention..."

David Gaider Reflects On 15 Years Of Dragon Age 2 - A Fan-Favorite Story That Was The Team's First Draft David Gaider talks us through a story that had to be written so quickly that his team had no time to doubt themselves.

It's the 15th anniversary of Dragon Age 2! Dragon Age 2 is almost like looking at the inner rings of a tree and seeing what happened in a particular year, except in this case it tells you exactly which departments at BioWare pushed back the most against crunch and which didn't.

$8000 may not be much funding in the grand scheme of things but it's still wild to me that CPL would do this.

If you are in the American armed forces now is your chance to perform a generational act of heroism that can stop terrorism and bring about a safer world. The first step is find an old shirt and the second step is flushing it down a toilet at work. Godspeed, soldier

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

Enbridge paid police to protect one pipeline. Now it wants to do it again in Wisconsin. The Bad River Band is fighting to stop Line 5 and protect its watershed. Meanwhile, local sheriffs are already tallying the cost of riot gear.

My latest for @grist.org: Pipeline giant Enbridge will pay for police to respond to potential Indigenous-led protests as it begins construction of the controversial Line 5 reroute around the Bad River reservation

continuing to underserve the most important demographic: retired mmorpgers who just want to make snacks for a raiding partner and occasionally give them a supportive head-pat or two
