Ending the Year with Light: Keys 2725 and 2726 — 5000 Keys to Infinite Places My Christmas gift this year was participation in a Turkish Mosaic Art lamp workshop - something I’d seen advertised in eastern Canada - I was very happy to learn this opportunity was coming to my ho...

Finishing up: Keys 2022 - 2024 — 5000 Keys to Infinite Places I’m getting ready for an art exhibition featuring revamped versions of my Imagination Generator and will (mostly) be putting away my key project for the next few months. I did, however, sneak in a f...

Appreciate your coverage - thank you!

I'm not sure notifying the public about a survey on the last Friday before Christmas is going to help boost the confidence of the people who already don't trust the independent review into this summer's wildfires in Saskatchewan.

It's really funny how America and the Uk stopped investing in infrastructure in the 1980s because the free market will pave potholes and make the trains run on time and now literally nothing works and you cannot go anywhere or do anything but like 4 people are richer than God -- thekafkadude

And Canada...

Mancinelli: If we have to have a report put together on everything they tell us in all our meetings, we will never make a decision b/c we will always be waiting for reports. #yqrcc

"The people in my ward! They live in holes in the ground! Their only park is an old sewage pit. Their only playground an old tire impaled on a piece of exposed rebar." #yqrcc

So here's the thing, councillor. I actually work w/ the Cathedral Village Arts Festival & having a donation tin at the door instead of tickets IS a revenue tool. Many CVAF shows make MORE off donations than we could charge for entry.

B/c people are generous.

And they like us. #yqrcc

Vote on Froh's motion to build an annual increment for the Community Investment Grant Program into the 2027 budget: Carried 7 to 4. Bezo, Mancinelli, Burton & Rashovich against.

You know what would make it easier to redirect what EDR is doing? Absorbing them into the city. This idea that council needs to micromanage an outside org because they have no clue what they are doing but they should remain autonomous is frankly ludicrous.

'natch, the "Put KPIs on it" Numbers Guy says we need to go with "vibes" when it comes to a business-y looking thing like EDR. #yqrcc

NDP demand province pay back $6.8 million to Regina over Costco Opposition MLAs Trent Wotherspoon and Hugh Gordon say government was responsible for triggering bidding war over new Costco store.

The Globe employees 150 people & gets $150k a year from the city.

The new Costco will only employ 300 and council gave them $7 million.

Oh… and… by the way…

Downtown parking. Yellow is surface parking, purple is parkades. He's demonstrating again he doesn't live here. This is an older map & doesn't include recent fire damage. #yqr #yqrcc

Now prsa is saying business moves to the periphery because of parking. Need parking. Well then. Regina should have the most vibrant downtown ever because MOST OF IT IS PARKING!!!!! #yqrcc

Donnelly: This city is a great place to live thanks to the organizations that receive funding through the community grant program. We need to start valuing art & culture & sport as much as we value infrastructure, the police & transit. #yqrcc

Catching Up: Keys 2709 - 2719 — 5000 Keys to Infinite Places After a whirlwind summer of company and work stuff and fall cleaning stuff and organizing to make way for new projects stuff finally I am posting my latest keys: Key 2709 is made from an angled screw...

And also release the Epstein files …

I hope Donald Trump takes the time he has on his flight back to America to actually read the U.S. Constitution — and then negotiate in good faith to end the government shutdown he left behind.

The amount of money these rich fuckers have been pouring into AI that they didn’t spend on stopping climate change or housing the poor they just held onto it until now … just fuck these motherfuckers.

The Queen City Improvement Bureau live anniversary show is Wednesday at 7pm at Artesian. If you're debating about going, please go! I have this fear that the only person who shows up is Clr Burton and if that were to happen, several of the jokes we've written will land very differently. #yqrcc

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

Send troops to San Francisco and we will sue you.

I love this image.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

After almost two months of chipping away I finally got that cash register apart and cleaned and degreased the pieces. Look for these parts in future keys and Imagination Generators.

Spot on.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

ICE is terrorizing communities.

This was an incredible and hopeful discussion. Give it a listen.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.
