Outrageous even at that price.

Hey - they’re saving staff time coming up with new agendas 😜

Or as the cool kids are calling it “performance pay”

TV ad: scene- quiet city street, daytime. (voice-over)"Hi, I'm Keith Wilson, mayor of Portland, Oregon & this is what downtown looks like today." -22 seconds of street sounds, a bird chirps a few times, a distant car horn honks- "Pretty fucking boring, eh?"

🤦‍♂️

Second! Wild.

What need have we of fallow fields when this field is full of grass for our sheep to graze?

Dear Audible, running ads in Canada that promote a book as being set “in Toronto’s cottage country” is probably not going to win you a strong readership here.

Well, okay then.

It’s a tragedy that no technology exists to detect when an object moves or where it moves to.

I don’t think the solution you’re proposing is viable (or just).

Far better to put that energy into more not-for-profit & co-operative housing that have a diverse blend of income levels - making for stronger communities and stable availability of affordable/subsidised units.

Someone who bought a house in Hamilton 10 years ago has a lower mortgage payment than a 1 bedroom apartment today.

Should they sell at/close to the price they paid to ‘make room’ and eat the increased cost, just because they might able to afford it?

Cont’d…

Non-profit != subsidised.

In fact, with most non-profit housing, people paying full rent (‘market’) are actually contributing to the subsidies needed by their neighbours.

Even then, rents will be lower because they’re not funding profit margin.

It’s a model we’ve tragically underinvested in.

There’s something deeply satisfying about finishing a project.

“But wait!”, they cry, “how can a story be part of multiple sprints and still be done on time?”

🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

No argument where the camera is capturing your property. But his is just a shot of the junction, which seems a stretch 😆

Curious. Did the city ever repeal the relevant portion of the fortification bylaw that prohibits camera setups like his?

Looks like 2(10)c here www.hamilton.ca/sites/defaul...

Down to the Staples across the street 🤣

Maybe Centerpoint? Off by the edge of the city, big box across the street, grocery store anchor…

What’s the retail rent situation these days?

Holy moly that’s a lot of string players. 1000-strong orchestra in Latvia’s Youth Song & Dance Festival orchestral concert.

Just like the skydome.

Opinion | Peter Thiel and the Antichrist

Listening to www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/o... and wondering what screws Thiel has actually still clinging in place, because the rattle is getting rather worrying.

One step: parking fines that exceed (by a good multiple) the cost of parking, to address the folks who treat getting ticketed once every few weeks as preferable paying daily.

I feel like @davidbrace2.bsky.social might be your man for interpreting a concept like that in a compelling way.

Thinking about commissioning something for my office wall - something that goes with and contains the "Dance like noone is watching, write every email as if it will be read out in court" quote.

Friday’s painted turtle

Wartime polycule!

Who are you and why would you drop this irrelevance here?

If only HPS had a massive pool of leftover cash…
