we're booing the captain, right?

Ottawa was mentioned in a City Nerd video and it's because our transit ridership per capita is REALLY HIGH. Only one American city has higher per capita ridership: NYC. (We get beat by a few NORTH American cities though.) youtu.be/17upoRCn01s?...

Ronja Savolainen said after the skills competition that she and Linus Ullmark had a great conversation. “That was the first time I talked to him. He didn’t know that I could speak Swedish. He introduced me to his whole family. He was just super pumped to watch our games.”

I’ve been asked many times how I will remember this Canadian team and I think the answer is 🎵instacart let’s you choose your bananas🎵

Everyone knows that the four nations face off is what really matters

if we beat the us in the gold medal game they still get silver. if we beat them in the bronze medal game they get nothing. work smarter, not harder

I had a vision that Britta Curl was going to decapitate someone, scream a bunch of slurs, and then score the gold medal winning goal. And I think the fact that this did not happen is a moral victory.

I believe that @heymw.bsky.social is slowly descending into madness. With no context he walked up to me and said “Shrek has got to be one of the most famous Scottish people ever. Right?”

Chabot never would have let that happen

Hey socialists! Last day to join up if you want to vote for the next leader of the NDP. (And the last time I'll be posting about this. You're welcome! <3)

HEY DINGDONGS! Only two days left to sign up if you want to be able to vote for the next leader of the federal NDP: 👉👉👉 lewisforleader.ca?r=kkRMu2L7 👈👈👈

"I'm not owned! I'm not owned!!", Steve Staios continues to insist as he onboards a 37-year old James Reimer

I think you should sign up to be a member of the NDP so you can vote for Avi Lewis in their leadership election in March. I’m 100% deadly serious. act.lewisforleader.ca/become-an-nd...

The City of Ottawa is nearing the finish line on its new zoning bylaw. Did you know Ottawa's zoning is only two degrees from Kevin Bacon? 🧵...

Bellamystraat, Amsterdam in 1981 and today

me tuning in to the NSL finals this afternoon

Let me tell you about all the wonderful sports I follow closely and how it's gone in 2025 (a small thread)...

One fun thing is that Diana Matheson was there and I was just screaming “HOW COULD YOU DO THIS??? HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN IN YOUR LEAGUE???”

The cool thing about sports is that we get to be repeatedly devastated ✨ as a community ✨

Time to watch some free soccer

The Boyd Boyz take on the footy! @heymw.bsky.social

Pausing my sabbatical from brainrot because I am going to the big @ottrapidfc.bsky.social game today. 👋

Since I'll be paying for Lansdowne 2.0 instead of ending homelessness or funding transit, and since stadiums are public good now, I very much look forward to attending all events there for free and I will expect regular cheques in the mail with profits from all the new retail and condos.

@glengower.ca Hey Glen! Breaking my social media sabbatical to say that I think Lansdowne 2.0 sucks the big one. I don't know why we're concerned that OSEG isn't making as much money as they would like. Looking forward to 3.0 when 2.0 doesn't live up to expectations for them.

I've been doing my best (kinda) to avoid social media recently. I hopped on today to get excited about sports as a community. I accomplished that! But then I stuck around to:

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Thinking about Lansdowne 2.0 and wondering why the city would even want to own and operate a dumb stadium because like, cities don't own stadiums! But then I checked and... they do?? Sometimes???

if landsdowne 2.0 is a public space for public benefit then i expect all events to be free and for it to be available for ottawa residents to rent/access/use.

Observations from @leahday.bsky.social, who has now watched 11 baseball games: "Saying 'the top of the third' and 'the bottom of the third' implies a middle of the third."

it's going really well, by the way

A fietsstraat is a Dutch street design where bicycles have priority, and cars are considered “guests.” The layout encourages safe, calm traffic by giving bikes the main position on the road, usually with red asphalt and clear signage.

It's been 25 years since One-Big-Ottawa was imposed on us. The world has finally taken note: this thing doesn't really work for urban or rural residents. I wrote about why and what's next. glebereport.ca/articles/ott... #ottawa #ottcity #deamalgamateottawa

The inevitable denouement of car culture: lonely guys talking to an AI woman as they sit in soul-crushing traffic on their way to a desk job behind the wheel of a vehicle they thought would make them cool and could survive the apocalypse.

While I love the O-Train, I think it's fair to say that its construction and implementation has been a hot mess, so I don't hate the idea of the city offloading its future expansion and operation to someone else. Unfortunately, the someone else is Metrolinx. youtu.be/e8mLZ7EE81I?...

so crazy that the sens season was only three games this year. oh well! see you guys in 2026-27!

honestly think I like participating in Sens lore more than I like watching Sens hockey.

been trying to expand my horizons and dip into classical music recently. and like, it's fine. but can anyone honestly tell me with a straight face that bach is better than carly rae jepsen?
