Davos feels like a long time ago.

Good point. I had to work with what I could find. I don’t have a comms team helping me make it look like service and affordability are priorities in Ottawa. πŸ‘

@jenstden.bsky.social doing the good work again.

News is often framed on X, Reddit, and Facebook by a small handful of coordinated accounts.

They sell outrage, our brains get dopamine, and suddenly Russia's Ukraine invasion seems sensible.

A bad outcome, but still not the worst the mind can conjure.

It would be great to deamalgamate Ottawa so Mark Sutcliffe didn't need to be led on guided tours of random suburban intersections in Stittsville like he's on a royal tour of the Commonwealth

Horrific. Just saw this on national news. I’d like to think city leaders will respond with steps to make Ottawa streets safer, but they just voted against some. #ottawa #autowa

Elon Musk Predicts AI Will Outpace Human Intelligence as Early as This Year - Decrypt Tesla CEO Elon Musk reiterated claims that rapid AI advances and humanoid robots will reshape work, energy demand, and the economy.

Science fiction has presented us with two incredible possibilities. Technology that restructures material at the molecular level to create food, eliminating want and hunger. Or technology that thinks independently and eventually destroys us. That the techbros would create the second one makes sense.

We're committed to halving road deaths by 2030.

To achieve this, we are putting forward a set of measures, such as:

πŸ”ΉStrengthening enforcement of road traffic rules
πŸ”ΉAddressing new forms of mobility
πŸ”ΉPrioritising road safety research

If city leaders won’t provide it, we’ll have to bring hope of our own.

Sometime, years from now, Ottawa’s leadership is going to discover that removing cars is the key to attracting foot traffic and increasing the vibrancy of public spaces. The only question is how many businesses and restaurants will needlessly go out of business before then? #ottawa #ottcity

This needs to be shut down. Google needs to start taking responsibility for replicating and repeating mis and disinformation. They need to prioritise legitimate, safe, authoritative sources, not whatever feeds the algorithm best. This is why Google search sucks so hard πŸ˜“

Olympic hockey demonstrates how good the NHL could be, but isn’t Olympic hockey with top pros makes clear to you that most nights, everyone in the NHL is going at maybe 70 per cent

Cathal Kelly said it best: "It feels like Olympic hockey has gotten better, and NHL hockey has gotten much worse."
