Eternal truth for @occtranspo.bsky.social

Good morning to Habs fans and Habs fans only 🌞

By the way if you haven't seen it yet the Gazette has been redesigned and it's a brilliant job. Have a look for yourself. Very handsome and very readable.

Good morning, Ottawa.

Fifty!

If tis isn't @gailsimone.bsky.social bait, then what is?

I'm not sure if we still hold the title, but we've got a pretty big ball of twine up here in Minnesota.

This is @gailsimone.bsky.social level material

Forty nine.

This is @gailsimone.bsky.social level of chaos energy.

Obvious @gailsimone.bsky.social bait.

It’s Monday and your coworker says, “Did you hear about that Air Canada crash?” Do you respond with: A) yes, how awful! B) yes, it was the first fatal accident in a long time! C) yes, they hadn’t had a fatality since 1983, which was the fire that killed Stan Rogers Anyway, I said the weird one.

Let's not get @jacktodd.bsky.social too excited, but Caufield is on a pace to score 50... He'd be the first since Stephane Richer in 89/90...

Hey, @jacktodd.bsky.social , any thoughts about habsloyalist.blogspot.com/2026/03/poet... ?

One of Lowell Green’s moves was to tell his listeners to bombard certain targets with phone calls. Mostly city councillors, sometimes other levels of government, occasionally others. Once in a while it was the Citizen—he’d urge people to call and demand why X or Y story wasn’t on the front page.

Here's @scalzi.com calling out @gailsimone.bsky.social . No possible way for this to end badly.

First time to see a show at the Gladstone last night; what a great theatre and production! Really enjoyed it, had a fabulous time. #OttCity

Always fun when your bus and backup both leave early, so you wait for the next one which is cancelled so now you can just wait for the next and question the life choices that leave you for a half hour at an @octranspo.com stop. @occtranspo.bsky.social

I set up a recurring donation to Pro Publica for the same amount.

Not wanting to jinx anything, but the Habs haven't had a 50 goal scorer since Stéphane Richer (36 years ago). But there's someone who may be on the cusp this season... @jacktodd.bsky.social

Well, it’s in the paper, so I guess I’m actually running! Really enjoyed speaking with Charlie Senack at the Kitchissippi Times #ottnews

In case @gailsimone.bsky.social ever comes down with something, good to know that there are others...

A sampling of NATO service members killed “a little back, off the front lines” in Afghanistan while answering America’s invocation of Article V. 🇬🇧 457 🇨🇦 159 🇫🇷 90 🇩🇪 62 🇮🇹 53 🇵🇱 44 🇩🇰 43 (more KIA per capita than any other NATO member state) 🇪🇸 35 🇳🇱 25 🇹🇷 15 🇨🇿 14

MEMO: OC Transpo has identified a new issue on O-Train Line 1 involving cartridge bearing assemblies (CBAs), where “spalling” (metal flaking inside bearings) has been detected on some trains. As a result, trains with over 100,000 km on these parts are being pulled from service for replacement. (1/3)

I’m in Davos, Switzerland, to secure new trade and investment partners for Canada. Because Canada has what the world wants — we’re an energy superpower and a reliable trading partner, with the most educated workforce in the world.

Sometimes you see perfect @xoofxos.bsky.social content

My 1609 bus. No show. Not cancelled, just disappeared. Was on the app until it wasn't. This is why people drive instead of trusting @octranspo.com , right, @occtranspo.bsky.social ?

For @scalzi.com and @johnrogers.bsky.social , remember to be careful of what you send in care packages to deployed military personnel. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been. ― Rainer Maria Rilke

Signal boost!

This reads like a primer on how to be like @gailsimone.bsky.social

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Once again, the internet is interested in Good star fighters, not janky old Y-Wings, @xoofxos.bsky.social

Wow you managed to make your whole "no, really, it's a burrito I swear" nightmare appear like a gentle daydream. I never would have believed it, but here we are.

Helo, @jleiper.bsky.social . In your campaign for mayor, will you promise to lift the non-disparagement agreement that has seen council silenced on the continued failure of the LRT contractor to deliver a reliable, world-class service?

Live the adventure with @octranspo.com . Apparently assuming that a bus marked 61 Tunneys Pasture would actually go to Tunneys, and not instead kick everyone off at Lincoln Fields, was a mistake on my part. @occtranspo.bsky.social

Writing tips for @scalzi.com and @johnrogers.bsky.social

Residents have likely seen media coverage of some residents' objections to adding a second sidewalk when part of Athlone is re-built, and I've heard objections in the past weeks to other planned sidewalks in the ward. I've penned some thoughts on the subject at kitchissippiward.ca/2025/12/12/s...

Clearly a rejected @johnrogers.bsky.social story pitch for Leverage.
