Also my colleagues are wonderful and one of them bought a cake for “Open data day or week!” (with love to @okfn). 😆🍰 #OpenDataDay #ODD26

A lemon layer cake on a table with the words “Happy Open Data Day or Week!” written in red icing on top. The joke is that Open Data Day is (since 2023) a week-long event, but still called Open Data Day.

This quote from @aworkinglibrary, whew: aworkinglibrary.com/writing/designe… #AI #labour (via @vasta)

A highlighted quote from the article that reads “But simply watching work happen, without any of the creative, autonomous activity that would occur if they were doing the work themselves, gives rise to a degree of boredom and stupefaction that can be physically painful and spiritually debilitating. Anyone who has experienced the pleasure of creative work is likely to greatly resist that reduction; better to create workers who have never known such things.”

Northern lights over Whitehorse this evening. #Yukon #Aurora

Green northern lights making wavy patterns in the sky above two houses and a street at night. The green colour fills most of the sky above.

@plausible Hi friends – I'm getting a DNS error for plausible.io this evening. Maybe a temporary glitch?

A screenshot of Firefox saying “Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.” on the Plausible site domain.

I’m not involved in a campaign for this (I’m a non-partisan public servant) but it brings back good memories of my last referendum campaign, “Say Yes to U-Pass” for grad school transit passes, 13 years ago. 😜

A 2012 photo of Sean and Radamis, campaign co-chairs, with a poster that says “Say Yes to U-Pass” with an Ottawa OC Transpo bus photo on it.

Kind of concerning that parts of the Elections Canada website were down for almost 2 hours today. 😳 www.elections.ca #infosec #cdnpoli
