Me on the O-Train

A photo of me on the O-Train today on a little trip to do a walk with @kathrynbarr.bsky.social, who took the photo.

Enough COVID and RSV around right now that masking on transit seems like a smart idea.

A frozen-in two-for-one at the #Ottawa Traffic Cone Festival today.

Remember the #conefest motto: "traffic cones for no reason at all!!"

I’m not happy about this 👇

World Cup 2026 ⚽️ should be cancelled this year, for very obvious reasons reasons. I shouldn’t need to say anything else

BREAKING: Keir Starmer gives an update on the situation in the Middle East.

The UK has agreed to a US request to use British military bases for "defensive" strikes on Iranian missile sites, Keir Starmer has said tonight

One thing is clear.

Keir Starmer is singularly incapable of standing up to Donald Trump.

I had forgotten it was so snowy then.

Frozen cracked ice glistening in sunshine in a harbour. There is a ferry to the right.

It’s glisteny (I know, not a word 😉) out today. The fishermen are out. Hope they’re being safe. I can see the cracks in the ice from the freeze/thaw cycle 🤞🏼
