And in today’s heartwarming news of how might we further consolidate power and harm democracy….

So, trophies > morals

If only there was a massive clusterf*ck fuelled by the promise of efficiencies and optimization, but delivering an over-reliance of automation and opaque decision-making on the Horizon that we could learn from….

And yet, those streaming videos highlight kayaking, running, indoor rowing, but no cycling….might be on to something.

I like the argument Sara, however, the current experiment with screens (social media and now AI tools) cause significant harm and are largely unregulated. Thus, the question of regulation is what is currently occupying my thinking. In both cases, the scope and harms are clear…as is inaction.

Is there a particular channel or delivery medium that you are trying to grow with the podcast? I noticed the addition of YouTube and was curious if you are experimenting or looking to target and refine?

Can we add to the choose your ‘adventure’ in non-driving with routine construction signage blocking non-driving lanes?

The potential of this plan and the lack of implementation is gutting

Congrats on getting across the finish line with this goal.

I hope the time back in your life includes ample books and time in nature (maybe more of this when the sun returns).

A fair point, but I will…take advantage of the early start to the day to make sure anyone in later time zones have what they need from me. All balls out of my court by 9am AST. May your inbox be crushed by the org’s inability to grasp asynchronous work!

Thrilled to have found you on this platform after the bird app became a clusterpluck! Hoping all is well in your corner of the world.

Thinking about failure demand - would quantifying the amount of documentation, the amount of time and the poor quality of muni. Info (see election funding data) help to make explicit what it takes to be an informed citizen / ind advocate?

We run in the rain and we snuggle under the covers! How lucky am I? Good doggo!

Tell me you have hit saturation with PowerPoint without saying so. I’ll go first with an actual slide in a draft deck for work. One of those, ‘will they notice / will they say so etching’ moments…

Annual reminder / prompt from the ah-mazing piggy ambassador…

I believe brainstorming / vision boarding is firmly in consultant world. 😁

Thnks to @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social, I am fixated on making failure demand of muni govt explicit. @landofsticks.bsky.social did a great job with Watershed committee reporting, but how might we not only make failure demand explicit, but shareable + actionable?

Hello! This is a great question. Acknowledging my privilege, I use my house to inform problem-solving and skill building. When that gets boring, I try to keep a slow-burn learning project on the back burner (currently data scraping with R). :)

Thanks Sara! I am thrilled to see the number of familiar handles again.

A currently impossible data set, but one I would love to see. What is the quant. failure demand of current city processes?

Brilliant! Thanks for the welcome and the generous offer of invites.

And this is why we canicross. Behold! The elusive GSP in still (and blanketed) form. Next up, city trails that don’t require driving to access them!

Finally scored an invite and access to this site! 🤞 to much Haligonian and Nova Scotian fodder.
