It's good enough that the official DW account makes an appearance in the comments. I also saw a comment that claimed it can all be done with a synthesizer or something.

WPG @ SSK

I wasn't able to catch this one, but the important thing from the Bombers' perspective is that it sounds like Streveler did pretty okay as QB.

Looking forward to the real thing getting going...for Winnipeg, in Week 2.

I didn't realize there were people who stopped thinking about Dugga Doo.

The folks at Winnipeg Sports Talk had a somewhat (okay, much) more cynical take, largely based on the fact that Maurice has participated in handshake lines as recently as last year, is known for being good in front of the media, and managed to talk about how this is all about the players for a solid two minutes.

Their take, not mine. I've got a lot of affection for PoMo, but admittedly that is precisely because he's so good in front of a microphone.

Edit: Timestamp of the conversation.

Captain or no, I don't think there's any evidence that he had any knowledge of what was going on, is there?

Chevy is much more heavily implicated in that mess, even though he was found to have been "not responsible for the improper decisions made by the Chicago Blackhawks".

Return Revenge of the Ponds!

“[The Rani's] brilliant, she’s unapologetic, and she’s totally out of sync with any moral compass.”

“She’s a wild force. She’ll burn anyone or anything to get what she wants, dancing with chaos like it’s her birthright.”

I'm liking what I'm hearing here.

I have to admit, I had suspected that we might not actually see Omega - or it would be a menacing cameo like Timothy Dalton's Rassilon - but it sounds like that might not be the case.

I think that's the general idea according to CentrePlan 2050, but I'm also a little unclear as to whether the entire stretch will be pedestrians/active transportation-only.

Oh good, WPG/SSK is exclusive to CFL+ again. If last week is any indication, I look forward to reading about it after the fact.

I haven't been a regular transit user for a long time, but I hope this transition goes smoothly. Large-scale changes rarely do...

The improvement in quality, from the script to the overall production values, is stunning.

The tauntaun has left the nest.

Roughriders @ Bombers

I actually tried to stream this one, but the CFL website was having none of it, so I...didn't. And absolutely no one seems willing to put together a highlight reel.

Based on what I've read, it sounds like it went...fine? I'm glad the Bombers played Collaros - it's good for him to get some reps, especially with the upcoming one-game suspension. It sounds like the game itself might have been a bit of a snoozer, but that's preseason for you.

Fair enough, I don't want to try too hard to change anyone's mind on issues like this, because I completely respect the perspective.

What I can say is that the admin team of this instance has zero tolerance (if I could make it less than zero, I would) for any kind of harassing behaviour.

I've also been reasonably pleased with the way Lemmy's tools have expanded and evolved over the past couple of years, so I would never write anything off for the future.

And in more extreme cases of cross-instance abuse...there's more behind-the-scenes communication between instance admins than you may think!

Gibson told us: "[Ruby's] mission is to take down Conrad. Whether she completes that mission or not, is to be told.

"However, I think after giving him that mercy in episode 4, taking down the Shreek instead of him, it's almost like an extra stab at the heart that he's just created this fake world where he is the king. It's like seeing your ex be Prime Minister or something! It would just be horrific.

Okay, I think this is fun. It's always nice when the characters have slightly different motivations, which could put them at cross-purposes with each other.

That's very unfortunate to hear - I agree that there it probably a different core philosophy between Lemmy and Mastodon (I can't speak to other platforms), where Lemmy is considered more of a "public bulletin board" where all content can be read by anyone, and most measures against harassement or other bad behaviour is left to the mod/admin teams (insert long rant about small instances being a good thing here).

This is the first I've heard of blocked users being able to vote on stuff, though.

The book must be about Peter Cushing.

Yeah, the issue as I understand it is that there's no content warning system built into ActivityPub, so each platform has made their own implementation.

Schrödinger’s Gallifrey pendulum is swinging back to “alive”…

Honestly a very solid motivation, I'm not mad about it.

Very confused on the issue of whether Omega even has a body, though...
