Montreal has a wonderful Metro, but it sometimes feels like it's caught in the past. In this blog, I talk about some things that need to be fixed. Enjoy! open.substack.com/pub/nextmetr...

My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

"Bluesky is dead." Meanwhile, on Bluesky...

Oh FOR CERTAIN we need to tap in to this folklore, #Winnipeg Apparently y'all love #slurpees like none other?!?! Can you verify this @akroeker.bsky.social and/or @ryankturnbull.bsky.social ??? ALSO, we're approaching critical mass, wooohoo! www.meetup.com/data-for-goo...

Notice is Hereby Given, our Follower:Followers count is currently out of balance. If you're not Following us (by now), we figure you never will, and so we're going to take a serious look at all this. Seriously. Currently looking. #dataforgood #youshallperceiveme #towncrierfortheW #mozzarellasticks

Another day, another #TGIF post wherein we ask ourselves Q: Was it right of TGI Friday's to get SO very angry with Chili's new menu items! Can't we all just enjoy #mozzarellasticks in peace? #youshallperceiveme #tgifridays #chillis #dataforgood

How are you still GAINING followers, @dataforgood.bsky.social ?!? Is it because you're OG... you got here before us, is that it... #findyourlostpassworddangit

And while we're here; 71 followers. Take that @dataforgood.bsky.social

@ryankturnbull.bsky.social I'm taking a guess that some of your fellow #Winnipeg enthusiasts might also be of the #dataforgood ilk... Would a share be in the cards? >> www.meetup.com/data-for-goo...

For those in the #montreal #datascience #ai #ethics community: www.forevermissed.com/abhishekgupt...

To 'dash' or not to 'dash', that is the question. @dataforgood.bsky.social, feel free to weigh in here. Q: What inspired you to go with the 'dash' vs. the 'underscore', as per your previous socials identity incarnations? Inquiring minds want to know. #dataforgood #upatnightwondering

@socialmedialab.ca In the spirit of not ignoring our own, let's be friends :)

@spite.vc I hope you mean @bluey.site

What's that @dataforgood.bsky.social? You wish you'd been there? Well, you snooze you (lose your password), Sunshine.

The next month will be LIT! FIRE! AWESOME! (choose your own excited adjective, my fine-feathered, multi-generational friends) #dataforgood

Over 1,000 people signed up to help #vancouver #edmonton #calgary #regina #waterloo #toronto #ottawa #montreal #halifax and surrounding areas joining forces!

People in all 9 (nine) Canadian Data for Good Chapters came together to kick-off a month long #DataThon to support the work that the Converge Mental Health Coalition tackles #dataforgood

Today was a great day... #dataforgreatness #dataforgood

The #mcbarge could have been turned in to an Interceptor, before turning in to river garbage, itself. #showerthoughts

And... back to the show! This April, we're hosting our 2nd NATIONAL DATATHON and if you can join us, please do: dataforgood.ca/upcoming-eve... #dataforgood

Take that @dataforgood.bsky.social! We have now surpassed you in terms of #BlueSky followers. However, you seem to still be gaining some, here and there... Is this playful "calling out" strategy, backfiring? We may yet still have to find that #lostpassword #dataforgood

Hey @christiannolan.bsky.social I just mass followed your "data people starter pack". What a rush. #dataforgood

Ah @dataforgood.bsky.social we be gaining on you! Our 30 to your 46... #still #howcouldyouforgetyourpassword #dataforgood

A bit of foreshadowing... the content of these posts will vary between really useful and action-oriented... to general meanderings, a la Philomena Cunk: www.imdb.com/title/tt3487... #dataforgood

Suppose we shouldn't pick on you too much, @dataforgood.bsky.social ... seeing as you currently have 44 followers and we only have 27 #wishyouwerehere #dataforgood #stillhowdoesoneforgetapasswordinthisdayandage #youshallperceiveme

And @dataforgood.bsky.social, if you could help spread the word as well, that would be wonderful... oh, wait, you #forgotyourpassword. Never mind. #dataforgood

This is very specific invite for beautiful people dans la belle province to join in... www.meetup.com/dataforgood-... #dataforgood #montreal @mtl.org @cultmtl.bsky.social

One more dig at @dataforgood.bsky.social for forgetting its password -- nah, this is going to be an ongoing theme... #dataforgood

On with the show! www.convergementalhealth.org/event/the-co... #dataforgood

Vibe check: it's still... 2025, yes...? #havingflashbacks #redherrings #foreshadowing #dataforgood

It's the Spring Equinox, @dataforgood.bsky.social, maybe it's time for a "fresh start" on how you "manage" all your passwords. #forgotitdidntyou #dataforgood #springequinox #firstdayofspring #newbeginnings

Ummm, @dataforgood.bsky.social, did you forget your password? We got you. #dataforgood

Have you heard the one that goes... "Books, Minds, Umbrellas only work if they are open"? No punchline.

15M people on Bluesky!!! 💫 The Verge beat us to our own announcement — that's the beauty of an open network with public stats!

The UI is very familiar... #dataforgood #data4good #aiforgood #ai4good #nptech #canada
