You're not enjoying listening to our kid repeat "lose some weight" and "Ozempic" while he watches some of the world's best athletes celebrate their accomplishments?

Sounds like a you problem. /s

I regret viewing that game as a referendum on whether there is any justice in this world.

we had a team of incredibly dedicated elite government coders

public servants forgoing much more lucrative gigs because they wanted to make government work for people

some of them were my friends or former colleagues

they worked in the GSA, 18F, and the USDS

this administration fired them all

You told me we were rich. WTF.

I'm not making any headway. If anyone's got #Expo #React-Native debugging skills. It looks like I'm going to need them. My computer, is failing to even compile fresh clean copies. I've nuked everything 20 times over, and yet I still get issues.

So I'm running out of ideas, short of coding on a VM.

8yo: "I had a nice bus dream last night."

Me: "oh, tell me more. Was the bus on time?"

8yo: "No. It was like 8 hours late, but it *was* coming"

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social 👋👋 I know you’ve got lots on the go, just curious if “ICE provides support to international events” applies to FIFA in Canada this year…

I pulled an N95 out of my backpack last night to ride home. It was the only way to not get frostbite on the bridge of my nose where my goggles didn't cover.

Interesting to see Alex Lawson scrubbed from the PoliticalIntel consultants site amidst running for mayor web.archive.org/web/20251221... #ottnews

While at the same time the City of Ottawa is ignoring a huge $10 billion deficit to maintain, repair & renew its aging infrastructure & facilities. So "penny wise and pound foolish". #ottcity

This isn't a good thing, Mark.

I'm tired of talking about mental health. Give me a raise and let me work from home, otherwise shut da fuck up

Got word overnight my ODSP app was declined. While I will appeal; in effort to not move out of #Ottawa,

I ask again if anyone need a smart, articulate, creative - with warfighting, full stack software, community org/building and poli/king maker skills.

Needs to be remote, on call is fine.

(I mean the MUP crosswalk at Carling. That whole area is garbage.)

Also I keep watching east-bound cars running the red and nearly hitting people at the MUP crossing. Watched an #ottbike have a near miss yesterday. Had our own near-miss where I almost watched Ren and Gabe get killed on the big bike.

I'm old enough to remember when the leader of Canada's official opposition party congratulated Trump for invading a country last week.

*whispers*
*hey, most of the world, you know we should boycott the Olympics and the World Cup, right*

For those just starting their day. L2 isn't doing well. Reports of no train, long waits and the signage screens have been blanked.

Yeah, this is going to backfire. I never thought of doing this, but now I definitely want to try.

We’re looking to do a Hintonburg Heatpumps & Hot Choclate Heatpump Crawl (Jan 18th) and would love to add another heatpump to the tour.

Does anyone that follows me + live in that ‘hood have a heatpump and want to host some folks on their front porch to talk heatpumps?

I mean... except for the sections where I had to walk my bike for blocks at a time. (I'm looking at you, Bay Ward!)

It was a shit ride home.

But still way more fun than the bus or driving.

This looks amazing...

Social housing is essential housing. EnviroCentre is focused on rectifying the systemic inequities experienced by households in eastern Ontario. The EnviroCentre Retrofit Accelerator Carver Place project was the first big step in this work.
