An artisan in action. I love, unironically and enthusiastically, seeing people who take pride in their work. I assumed this guy stopped when told to. Turns out, he's been filling 3 potholes a day the whole time, and they are things of beauty.

I maintain that what we are really learning is NOT that AI is powerful, but rather that many big CEOs are stunningly mediocre. Even helpless. Have they just been cos-playing business people all these years?

The weather is lovely, so came for the wake. #CFMTL

Signed. It’s actually more generous than I would be. We don’t know what goes on behind close doors, but we can see the pattern of results. It’s enough information to know that change at the top of #CFMTL is the only way to make change on the field.

Hahahahahahah to police presence at future games. Do they really think fans are coming back? They should be so lucky.

AI broke the internet as we knew it, and not in a good way. It also, and perhaps more importantly, undermined so much of the trust and collaboration that made the internet powerful in the first place. This article provides a great overview.

The AI companies claiming they helped find the latest php vulnerability feels a lot like a burglar trying every door in your building and claiming it’s for your protection. I don’t think the average person has any idea how much time is being spent keeping AI-enabled bad actors at bay.

Now I’m even angrier. To think that the coach was going to bring in a new keeper for penalties, one who has never played with the team, and pull out Breza, a guy who has had nothing but good energy and a willingness to help out for years. Who’s worse? A bad boss, or the people who keep him?

That was brutal mismanagement. Vera needed to come off at the half- he was angry and already on a yellow; the red was inevitable. Reinforcements needed to come at/by 60 minutes to change the pace and save some legs. I am dying to know what Sanchez was saying to Eullafroy on the bench. #CFMTL

Finally a Canadian story. Behind a paywall, but nevertheless -

Tell all your web dev friends. And buy them a cuppa.

You will not convince me today that AI has been good for the internet. Or trust. Or intelligence. Or democracy.

Souhaitons-nous encore ce niveau d'utilisation? «Students in Canada who use AI to summarize text every day show a 38-point lower score in science versus those who never use it. Can. teens using it to draft text show a 42-point lower score. These gaps are equivalent to two years of learning loss.»

It was fun, until it wasn’t. Onwards.

Saw You Can See Everything in a packed theatre on a Monday night. Yay, for live experiences. My mind is still spinning.

I have been riding in Montreal for 5 years now and did not know this. Huh.

The Cameron House is classic Queen West, a holdout from an era when the city celebrated live music and the joy of pre-digital found-fun living. Snare in the window, Jake and the Blue Midnights come to mind when I remember warm nights and music on the air in Toronto.

"Stop comparing the flawed thing we have to an idealized version of something that doesn’t exist." That's basically my position on every political, social, and economic issue in 2026. It's remarkably appropriate for basically every situation in this griftocracy.

Why Arturo Béjar left Meta – and blew the whistle: ‘I don’t recall Mark ever being empathetic’

No matter what else is happening, out there in the world are “More than 180,000 giant tortoises roaming freely.” So that’s a delight.

I’m more than moderately obsessed with the concept of feedback. Also, it bugs me when people dismiss the feedback needs of other people/ generations instead of focusing on what really matters: how do we create the conditions for anyone to develop their full potential? Hence this article …

The very first commuter fast lane. When the public hates you and the crowds are thick, it’s nice to have your own hallway to get to work.

Could we please agree that using the word "pod" as a short form for "podcast" is an affront to all that is sensible? "Pod" isn't skeuomorphic or anachronistic. It's just always been wrong. In the portmanteau, "cast" is the part that matters. I've tried to let it go, but I can't. Tx.

This week in "your friends are spying on you ..."

J’ai votée. Et, tu?

From Einaudi to Gorillaz, musical bookends to the week. Thank you #Montreal. Thank you, touring musicians.

There’s nothing wrong with comparing apples to oranges. They’re both fruit. It’s fine.

Honesty, a country saying “you let our sports team do whatever they want or we will pull all other business from your country” is a really good reason to make friends elsewhere.

Having pages on your website that you've never looked at is like having rooms in your house that you've never entered. It's weird, people. OTH, having pages on your website you haven't looked at in years ... that's just like every closet everywhere and I cannot judge you.

Electric car emissions benefits are far greater than first thought - Futurity

Good grief. This story needs to get out because more people need to know that (a) your friends are giving away your contact info and (b) this is one way that political discourse has been mechanized. Don’t trust social media. (she says, on social media)

This is a really big, not-small, heck of an announcement. I have never in my entire life seen women's sports featured above men's in mainstream broadcasting. HNIC is an institution.

Academics always knew that one potential issue with public-private partnerships, contracts, and self-regulation would be government's dwindling in-house expertise to effectively evaluate and manage private sector behaviour. That theoretical issue feels blindingly, terrifyingly real right now.

Montreal has spoken. 🥐

Honestly, it’s hard to tell the difference between AI-training programs and MLMs some days. Like today.

I love that she did this. Birds rock.

Montreal squirrels change their coat colour depending on the neighbourhood where they live, according to a study by McGill University. Researchers have discovered that the specific conditions in each part of the city influence the characteristics of the local wildlife.

Once, I was interviewing a candidate for a job alongside another manager. The manager brought a coffee to the interview. Of course, Starbucks had written her name completely wrong on the cup. Throughout the interview, the candidate referred to the manager by her Starbucks name. It was so awkward.

Science is cool.

My first trip to Nova Scotia, and it did not disappoint.
