David Ross @schemingdespot.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It will never cease to amaze me that even though the FIA has 75 years of history to draw on and probably the most comprehensive rule book of any sport, so much of their decision making boils down to “Uh oh! What the hell do we do now?” 000

David Ross @schemingdespot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Closing the gate after all the livestock is long gone and then writing self-aggrandizing press releases about the closure is the most Democrat possible option. Punishing the perpetrators? That would lack decorum. 121

David Ross @schemingdespot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yes. Honing in this context since they are sharpening and directing messaging at/about her.

David Ross @schemingdespot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I remember another Premier named David calling an early snap election for no real reason other than to capitalize on turmoil in the conservative party in his province. It didn't work out particularly well for him. 000
David Ross @schemingdespot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The same is true if you’re a 53yo guy with indigestion, as I was a few months ago. I was pretty sure it was indigestion (it was), but I’m not prone to indigestion and I’m getting to an age where it might not be so it seemed prudent to be sure. 040

David Ross @schemingdespot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026There was an unhappy skunk somewhere outside our bedroom window on Wednesday night around bedtime. Happily the windows were closed and everybody was tucked in safely, but the aroma was so thick we could taste it. 'Tis the season, I guess. 110

David Ross @schemingdespot.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Council adopted an AT plan not quite a year ago. If it's actually implemented as outlined, it will be a much different cycling and active transportation city in 10 years time. 111
David Ross @schemingdespot.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It's currently a very fragmented city for active transportation. There are large pockets which feel quite safe, but to go between different areas of town usually requires going across or along infra that doesn't consider the needs of AT users and feels or is dangerous. 110
