Supposedly, Winnipeg Comiccon has a policy that explicitly "strictly [prohibits]" the use of GenAI imagery by vendors in their exhibition hall, and in programming. ...supposedly. 🤦 It's not like it's a new policy of theirs either, they've had it for several years.

Oh man, don't even get me started on those cups. Literally the ONLY fast food chain that actually gives a damn about actually reducing plastic consumption, including the lid that's likely to shatter into sharp pieces after a while and do more harm than straws, is New York Fries.

Remember that ASUS ProArt GoPro Edition laptop at the start of the year and how I told you the price was CA$4000 in January? Apparently, not only did they already ratchet it up to $4800 "on sale" in February, that damn thing is going for a whopping $6650 now. MFW

These are three EPGs in the Winnipeg, and the "have" DMAs of Toronto and Ottawa, on each of their municipal election nights. Notice the common denominator of Bell/CTV choosing the simsub $$$s of American programs over Canadian affairs? Yikes. @CRTCeng #mbpoli #onpoli
