Can’t get a good photo where I am, but Ottawans not watching hockey should go outside and see Jupiter, the Moon, Uranus and Venus all in a nice bright line.

Tim Cook's legacy will be enshittifying Apple's software, abusing their market dominance, and then playing apologist to fascism.

Under his leadership they burned billions on a car that never drove, and the only major attempt at a new product during his tenure (the Apple Vision Pro) was a total dud.

To [an American] in horseradish, the whole world is horseradish.

Invest more in public transit.

Improve reliability.

Get my car off the road and out of your way.

(Hey, but at least Ottawa residents can celebrate that we have among the lowest property taxes in the province while we sit in morning and afternoon traffic, right?)

Grateful to the federal government for further enabling my shift away from unreliable Ottawa public transit to clogging up the streets with my private vehicle.

I sometimes cycle, but there is a death gap in the cycling infrastructure on my route that I just can’t stomach most mornings.

Canada’s elbows-elevated ambition to secure digital & technological sovereignty faces a lot of practical hurdles.

But, at a minimum, it requires disentangling government and public services from at least this one company. If they continue to operate here, everything else is just hand-waving.

Like I’ve said before, that extra car you see on the road clogging up your commute and taking a scarce downtown parking spot is me having given up on OCTranspo.

OC Transpo temporarily cancels dozens of bus trips a day this spring OC Transpo is proactively cancelling dozens of bus trips each workday this spring due to longer travel times and an “increase in fleet requirements,” as the transit service rolls out the new spring sc...

30 of the 279 bus trips being cancelled are on the two (garbage) routes I take. 21 on Rte 5; 9 on Rte 48.

I was assured by my councillor a few months ago that service would improve.

Very much looking forward to voting against all incumbents in the upcoming election.

People who know hockey better than me, discuss:

If you’re killing a penalty and lose your stick, is it better to flail without a stick for 30 seconds or skate to the bench for a change?

Er…Saturday. Weekend OCTranspo at any rate.

And then I went home with a driver 2 feet off my bumper as I drove 68km/h in the right lane of a 60km/h zone.

Drove my kid to a friend’s house yesterday (because OCTranspo on a Sunday? lol).

When I turned the corner onto the friend’s street, a gaggle of kids playing basketball on the road paused, looked at me and kept playing. I had to wait out the quarter. It was glorious.

I’ll see myself out.

Has the Premier considered a Gravy Boat as an alternative?

Worse. Definitely for worse.

“A former NASA financial officer found that while the company had driven down the cost of launching things into space, it wasn’t passing those savings along to NASA. Even adjusting for inflation, SpaceX has been charging NASA more each year for the same services.”

Opinion: The Artemis II mission was a glorious distraction from more serious problems in space Now that the astronauts’ journey is complete, we should ask: why, in 2026, would anyone fly around the moon?

Can't contain the Charge 👀

Payton Hemp nets the @pwhlcharge.bsky.social's SECOND SharkNinja Jailbreak goal of the game!

PWHL x @sharkninjatr.bsky.social

Back-to-back jailbreak goals.

Amazing!

Love the PWHL, but they have got to invest in additional referee training.

Once again, it should not take this long to review a goal. #PWHL

Not sure where we are on that now. Canada’s funding commitment declined from 2015 to 2020-ish. Since then, I haven’t paid enough attention to know.

To be fair, working with a fascist, racist, war crime advocating private contractor is on brand for a fascist, racist, war crime committing regime. So it makes sense on that score.

Worse. Definitely for worse.

Addressing challenges & opportunities in space requires “diplomacy, co-ordination and co-operation among spacefaring states…

Carney’s government has taken a blinkered approach, cutting the budget…of the Canadian Space Agency [and] Global Affairs Canada.”

My friend, Dan Breznitz, begins talks about innovation by asking “What exactly do we want from innovation?”

I follow up with “Who gets to be part of the “we” in that conversation?”

Here’s our pal, Tom Goldsmith, offering a good answer to both.

Exactly. I hate it.

Going to start saying “I sell think”

Recently heard someone say “we sell creative” and it took me a good 20 seconds to realize that a noun was not going to follow the adjective.

They meant “creative” as a noun - and not in the sense of a creative person, but to refer to the result of creativity.

PR, man.
