Ford is violating our Freedom of Information (FOI) rights.
By law, Ontarians have the right to view government documents.
FOI requests exposed the Greenbelt & Ontario Place scandals.
Ford's government is now refusing to comply with FOI orders.
What other scandals is he hiding?

NEW: Ontario’s transparency watchdog has been forced to “intervene” after the solicitor general’s office repeatedly ignored orders to release information.
It’s part of a trend which has also raised questions about political interference. #OnPoli

Well, that's caught up to me, 'cause I hafta go be a juror in late January.

I like to image a post-Microsoft world. I almost-never have to touch Windoze and I like that.
"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'"

I noticed that iOS is highlighting a NASA app as the app of the day.
And that got me thinking about the thing I mentally think of as the Just Wonderful Space Telescope. I didn’t originate that name: I think I’m following Dr. Prescod-Weinstein’s lead.

There's a part of me that wonders if someone is doing research on different take on (workplace, in particular) chat protocols.
I'm firmly in the "my first message to you will contain the thing I am looking for information about" camp...

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

there's this thing i call "cop math"
basically, when you catch someone abusing power to cause harm and they're being real confident or real casual about it, stop and ask yourself, "how much human misery is flowing out of this one person into the world, if this evil thing is just a *habit* to them?"
