Friday Fun Link – A $2.5 Billion Robot, Designed To Function on Mars For Two Years, Is Still Working 13 Years Later!

A $2.5 billion robot has been alone on another planet for 13 years and is still doing science. The scale of that sentence gets worse the longer you think about it. Curiosity landed in August 2012. Obama was president. Instagram had 80 million users. The iPhone 5 hadn’t shipped… https://t.co/AzXQenKDnH — Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) March […]

Secular Sunday – Are You In The Game or Playing The Game?

Easily one of my favourite posters on TikTok. This theory has a bit of the Red Pill/Blue Pill stuff that’s from the Matrix but in a less incel/nihlistic way of looking at things – more like “You know this is all not real. It has no meaning. So just enjoying playing the game.” @nononsensespirituality #nononsensespirituality […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Film Tax Credit Cuts Protest (May 2012)

There have been a lot of mistakes, a lot of missteps and a lot of deficit budgets. But cutting the Sask Film Tax Credit is arguably the single most negative impact the Sask Party has had on our province – chasing away film production and the skilled people who worked in the industry *just* as […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Civic Engagement (February 2004, June 2009, Sept 2025)

I feel so fortunate to have grown up with parents who instilled a love of reading, news, politics and community engagement into me from a young age.
