Be a friend we're all in this together!
One way or another we will beat this, as long as we can stay respectful and united together.

If we give in to the chaos of this circus, it will be extraordinarily hard to stop the change.

Support each other and endure.

When I first checked in earlier today, it was grim. We were losing, and this would have been the cut.

Checked in just now. We've been murdering. Horray! Go local sports team!

It's only for the "title pages". It will be yellow on black, (I think right now it's currently dark blue accidentally). I'm going for a Metro look but, yeah, I'll play with it.

Normal Pages will be white/gray on black text so far.

I'm working on a PowerPoint pitch to make the existing and future #Ottawa digital transit signage suck less™ - If you got ideas or grievances, fire away! I'll incorporate the ideas into the file. #OttBus #OttLRT

I am becoming convinced that autonomous vehicles are designed to solve the problem of "I live in a wealthy suburb but have a horrible car commute and don't want to drive anymore but also hate trains and buses and refuse to ride a bike."

Eh. America has strong institutions, but it also has insane political corruption. Just take the money out of politics, it's 99% of all your problems.

Landlord forgot to switch over thermostat from cooling to heating, came back to my apartment being 47° c. It was likely that the whole time I was gone

My poor cat ran out of water at some point, the huge bowl drunk/evaporated, all my plants pretty much dead, fridge burns on contact

Thanks Obama!

My complaint with the graffiti. The creative art was a good touch 😁

Exactly. I'm no fan of racism or intolerance, but yeah I've been on the internet since '95 - there's little that shocks me now.

I think a lot of it is, once you start crossing lines you're going to get into a real fight. So you're hoping that words will work, while you talk to your lawyers to figure out what you can do.

A lone state versus the full weight of the feds is a heavy duty fight.

I don't know. Porn saved physical media space, and basically provided the internet with almost all of its traffic up until real recently.

I'm lactose intolerant, but I'll be stone cold dead before I give up chocolate milk, cream, cheese and ice cream 😂

$3.60 for a large milkshake. Really good value.
