Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 5hIn the grand scheme of things that Sutcliffe bullshits about, this is pretty inconsequential, but he *is* listening and he is changing his behaviour. We're living rent-free in his head during his runs. Maybe one day he'll even visit the MORKhole. 121
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 5hSince Live.Laugh.Mayor. launched on August 10, 2026 to locate his 'Good Morning Ottawa' posts his behaviour has noticeably changed. 120
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 5hThe other day, Sutcliffe was interviewed and claimed he never reads the comments. He [rightfully] caught flack for that, but I believe that was all posturing for a soundbite. He does read the comments, he changes his day because of the comments, and I've even got a chart to prove it. 190
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Another day, another watermain break (Riverside/Vanier Parkway at Tremblay) in Ottawa. Leiper has an actual plan for addressing this shortfall from years of Watson and Sutcliffe underfunding rather than handwaving and hoping the province and feds save our ass. 24018
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Long shot here: I have dashcam footage from yesterday ~2:20 (October 6) of a fairly serious collision on St.Joseph in Orleans (near the apple orchard). Some braintrust in the light coloured SUV made a completely illegal turn onto the street and got clobbered by the blue Honda Fit. 462
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Mark Sutcliffe announces plan to tackle $10.8B infrastructure backlog. 1152
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 21/09/2026You need to provide an email address and whatever user name you want displayed. You'll then get a link by email to create password and finish account setup. 120
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If you go to any MORK, and pick a location, then click Submit you'll get the option to create an account. 110
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Saw some election signage up while out and about. Realized that my one-star reviews of Sutcliffe would work great on a number of repurposed signs. Hmmmm… 1101
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 19/09/2026He's had a few at the Navan Fair and a couple up by the Aline Chretien Health Centre thing, and maybe one in Cumberland? But not much out East. But don't feel bad, he doesn't visit downtown at all either. The MORKhole is real. 291
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Why does Kash Patel always look like a character in an ‘I Think You Should Leave’ sketch? Eg here he’s explaining why he spent the staff party budget on FBI-Female Body Inspector t-shirts, which he is wearing under his suit. 071
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Today's MORK is solved - another trip to Richmond, still not a single MORK in Centretown. 010
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 04/09/2026There are other categories and I do try to use them. Some of the swag is tied to specific categories too. 010
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Sutcliffe has released his 'Safety Plan'. Based on over 600 of his own photos over the last 2 years, his real plan is, "Avoid Centretown." The MORKhole is real. 1132
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 02/09/2026So like any loving husband, I built her a tool to scrape websites and aggregate the data into a convenient dashboard because if there's one thing used car salespeople hate it's being able to calculate the median price and mileage of all used cars of make and model in a 250km radius. 3110
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 31/08/2026A different button colour/minor content change PR might take months after jumping through the initial hoops in the dev pipeline. There are usually processes for emergencies (ie. senior dev hotdogging it in production) 100
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Discovered that Live.Laugh.Mayor was displaying 'Lake America' on Google Maps. This is now fixed. 140
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 29/08/2026So I had mentioned this hot patch shithouse on Bank St near Ledbury as peak Ottawa infrastructure. Interestingly, they didn’t ‘fix’ the asphalt sections adjacent to the concrete sidewalk. 060
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Surprise guest at MORKAPALOOZA tonight. I guess some people venture into the core after 5! Had a lovely time talking with Jeff Leiper tonight. Leiper is not my councilor (anymore) but I hope he’s my Mayor soon. Shirt is my own. 5364
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Live.Laugh.Mayor hits the front page, baby! Just in time for MORKAPALOOZA - today at 5-7pm at The Manx. 1283
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 25/08/2026The Citizen photographer was very nice and offered to wait while I had a little lie down. 130
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Today's MORK is solved! I'm still impressed that Nicholas Kohler from The Citizen got a quote from Sutcliffe about this ridiculous thing we've been doing. I've got to buy my mom a copy of today's paper - front page, baby! 150
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Neighbour had roof repaired. Today they had a flat tire…it was a roofing nail. They used one of those 'screw-in' style tire plugs. Certainly easier to use compared to the classic bacon strip tire plugs, I'm still skeptical but curious how it holds up for them. [Amazon double-take product shot] 220
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Today's MORK is solved (Preston St at Young.) In other Live. Laugh. Mayor news, MORKAPALOOZA get together is set for Thursday August 27, 5-7pm at The Manx. This location was strategically selected as it falls within the MORKhole. Let me know if you're planning to attend so I can book a table. 140
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Location: I was leaning towards BTP at City Centre since it's relatively central, got indoor and patio space (for weather) and good transit/cycling access plus parking. However, I am open to suggestions to something in the MORKhole (James St (RIP) would have been perfect) for ironic purposes. 130
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 18/08/2026No Centertown. No Lower Town. There's a literal hole in the map. I'll buy "running route" to some extent might skew things along certain preferred [NCC] routes, but not a single pic in 2 years? lol. 120
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Last time I was in Toronto my hotel overlooked Zanzibar. RIP to one of the last pieces of old Yonge St back when it was still sketchy and everything had a story to tell. 050
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 16/08/2026There *might* be one on the far side of Chief William Commanda Bridge. I can't get a 100% verification since this location doesn't exist on Streetview or the footprints were removed. For the purposes of City/NCC marking I accepted it as 'Other' and moved on (until somebody has a better location.) 220
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Last election there was enough vote splitting that he won even though he only received 33% of the votes. And considering there was 44% voter turnout, it means he was voted in by only 15% of constituents. I'm hoping Erin Coffin is successful this election! 150
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 15/08/2026In other Lie.Laugh.Mayor. news, all 580 submissions from this week have been reviewed and approved. Phew! 281
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 14/08/2026ps. you can add a tip anonymously without creating an account with one click. The account allows you to collect imaginary points, trophies, and experience a gamified dopamine hit. 110
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 14/08/2026This is just a still from the expository montage video at the beginning of Robocop 3 to set the story in a bleak, dystopian, fascist future. 040
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I see Ottawa Hydro has a 'Delayed Restoration' notice up for Cityview (Baseline/Clyde up to Algonquin) which it pretty much lines up exactly with the area where she thinks a transformer (or two) exploded last night. 110
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Ruh-roh! Found these on the far side of my house after last night’s crazy winds/storm. I don’t see any damage to my roof, or my neighbour’s, but I’m concerned. 140
Dave @allcaps.bsky.social · 13/08/2026In other projects, I have updated my flight tracker to use adsb.lol for flight data - FlightAware worked great and has a ton of data but was too expensive ($50/month) for my hobbyist purposes* 260
