I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions. Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

The University of Ottawa Student Union is off with their skate/LRT race! They're calling attention to the need for big improvements to transit. The time to beat UOttawa -> Carleton by train is 35 minutes!

@redcrosscanada.bsky.social please stop sending these mailed packages out. It is bad for the environment, wastes my donation dollars and ends up in the trash 30 seconds after arriving in the mail.

@baseball-reference.com Why is Orlando Hernandez's Cuban stats page not tied to his main page? Many other players of that era have both linked together.

@shifter.info A request for a video someday... home winter bike storage. I've never been able to figure out how to store bikes once they can't be sitting outside in a bike rack anymore (and yes, I know I shouldn't leave bikes out in the rain either). Are there any innovative ways to do things?

Andrew Vaughn's home run tonight was the 49th in Brewers playoff history. It was the first to score more than two runs. (HT to @stathead.com)

My colleague, Councillor Bradley, tabled an excellent inquiry at City Council this week asking the City Manager to provide the data that will show why this move is needed. Unless this was an evidence-based decision, we’ll review the decision as soon as possible.

Hear me out. What if we used AI to fact check *everything* on social media (starting with BlueSky). It wouldn't be perfect, but if you are stating a fact, there could be a flag above your message saying "opinion", "unverified", "verified", "flat out wrong", "hyperbole" etc.

@nopunincluded.bsky.social This Is Arousal is literally the best board game journalism video I've ever seen. And honestly, better than any written article either. Great job and keep up the good work!

@torontobluejays.bsky.social are you ever going to post here? And maybe it's time to get rid of Jordan Romano in your profile pic?

Even cooler! Near null island, there's a set of points shaped like the US (you can see Florida in the lower right.) But when you zoom out, they're off the coast of Liberia, exactly where they'd be if the latitude and longitude were both divided by 10 (eg so NYC is at 4.1, -7.4 instead of 40.7, -74).

A primer on the two biggest issue facing Canadians

Flow chart asking "what's going on with the Prime Minister" and "what's going on with Blue Jays free agency." In each case they arrive at the conclusion "Look man, it’s hard to find good talent for this job and the Yankees keep talking about plundering our resources so we’re just gonna take whoever we can get"

In summary, Ford's bike lane removals will, according to a new City Hall report: - Cost $75 million in direct costs and sunk costs. - Make traffic much, much worse for at least nine months during construction to remove lanes - Have minimal long-term impact on car travel times.

@scalzi.com So I got a Bluesky account last week and the first thing I found out was that you had a new book. Bought it immediately and have really enjoyed it. Please tell me a movie is in the works too!
