ADHD as a career. Startups (Lean Analytics, Startupfest); fixing government (FWD50); subversive thinking (justevilenough.com) Montreal, or seat 13D.
Not calling shenanigans yet, but: My partner and I have lived at the same Montreal address since 2018, and voted while living here. I got no voting card; she got a vote-by-mail card she didn’t request. The elections website couldn’t tell us where to vote based on our postal code.
Anyone else?

In Canada, apparently the salt box outside the door doubles as a package delivery area.

Lovely photo to receive from the shipper. As we know all too well from justevilenough.com, last-mile logistics are hard.

Wrapped day 5 of recording the audiobook for @evilenough.bsky.social. Just a few pages left. The best part is the studio tech telling me in between chapters how he’s going to apply all the ideas to his own business. Did not expect.

As a result, English has two words for everything. Don’t believe me? Check out this list.

(HT to David Perell for his original post, which has another list of words - perell.com/note/balance...)

Just finished Cory Doctorow’s Red Team Blues. Great read, based on actual tech, with smart protagonists and familiar settings. Enjoyed it in a can’t-put-down way that happens less and less with fiction.

Cabbage for dinner means science for breakfast.

This photo is making the rounds.

Pythagoras’ outrage is unwarranted.

Careful readers will note that a feef is 1.414 feet, letting the diagonals be 6 feet and the bottom line 8.485 feet. It’s not to scale.

I like to believe the graphic designer, outraged at the bad math, did this on purpose.

Chicago deep dish is the love child of a baker and a lasagne. Now I need Lipitor and an insulin pump.
