Only freaking crime on transit that I've ever seen is the fares going up while the service remains as mediocre as a guy who peaked in high school and won't let anyone forget it #ottcity #otttransit
Bahaha. They can't even run buses on time and conmunicate accurate arrival times and there's been an app for that for years 🙃

I'm pretty sure no one is asking for this 🤷

There's an app for that: OC Transpo to provide real-time crime reporting - Capital Current
OC Transpo will introduce a new app next year for reporting crime on transit.

My overall point here is that if you are attempting to sell books to traditional publishers right now, you may be feeling pretty down. Submission periods are stretching longer than I've ever seen. Editors are ghosting. Agents have lists of genres they can't sell. Authors are seeing lower advances.

No! People are mad that BlueSky's AI automod regularly gets it wrong, moderation decisions/ penalties are seemingly arbitrary, and the moderation team has terrible comms.

if your moderation team bans someone for a harmless unactionable exclamation of disgust, but permits a govt account to say stuff like this,

you need a new moderation team.

As someone who enjoys the original, can we fucking find new stories instead of wringing every drop of nostalgia and dopamine from the ones that were fine on their own? Please?

Bluesky suspended a journalist/author who deals in facts and research about authoritarianism, but Jesse Singal is still on here with a content warning when you click on his page.

... Yeah, I'm sure that's fine.

Any week that sucks for Poilievre is a good week for meeee
“It’s an historic fuck-up”

Pierre Poilievre’s week couldn’t get any worse, and yet it did.

It will be a miracle if he even makes it to the leadership review.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

Let's make sure we understand something, that billion dollars on AI is just a write-off. Because AI is going to go tits up, and then Carney will have to find a new basket to put all his eggs in.

It doesn't create jobs. The only labour it creates is the work of cleaning up after it.
