Trying out a new colour-based social site. Same name, different channel.

@andrewtaylor19 @patches_s @kristinaennis That makes sense. I grew up in southern Ontario, and the only places where road construction happened at night were already very well lit, so they didn't need a lot of extra lights.

[Matt Middleton @MMiddleton]

@TinaYazdani Yeah, between fleeing to Muskoka, taking calls from the developers he actually works for, and trying to cover his tracks...must be exhausting!

@_Credible_Hulk @fuckyouiquit I don't have access to the paper, working from the images you provided. None of them show union membership numbers, which is what the blue line on the original image was representing. The paper you cite may call other data into question, but I don't see how it disputes this one.

NEW: An exhaustive review of roughly 200 flights in Doug Ford’s calendars reveal he essentially stopped flying commercial in late 2025, switching almost entirely to private flights.

Opposition blasted him during question period, but Ford insists he’s better than former premiers

[Matt Middleton @MMiddleton]

@fuckyouiquit He's probably right. Double nothing is still nothing.

[Matt Middleton @MMiddleton]

@fuckyouiquit He's panicking. Good.

Meta will layoff 8000 of its workforce starting tomorrow morning. Their net income over the last 12 months was $70,587,000,000. They could give every single one of their 79,000 workers a $440,000 bonus and still sock away over $35,827,000,000 in pure profit.

Premier Ford skipped question period today, one day after government documents revealed Ontario taxpayers covered nearly $200K in expenses tied to the purchase & resale of his $28.9M private jet.

The opposition is now demanding he repay the money. #onpoli

NEW: The Ford government tried to quietly close the public feedback period on its new education bill, changing the deadline to submit comments from May 13 to May 4 without notice. They reversed course after we asked why they were limiting public input:

NEW: Government-supervised school board mistakenly distributes email identifying teachers at risk of layoffs, raising serious privacy concerns & prompting Ontario's privacy watchdog to look into the incident. My first official byline with @Thetrilliumca: https://t.co/GOWBrLZ9Pf

@straczynski By any chance, do you know if this will be released on CD? Been trying to get my hands on physical media of the art I really care about.

[Matt Middleton @MMiddleton]

@greggrunberg Japan. Went in 2012, blew my mind, haven't managed to go back yet.

[Matt Middleton @MMiddleton]

@straczynski Thank you for writing this. My eldest is an artist, has been since she was very little. We do our best to encourage her to pursue her art wherever it leads her. She's not old enough for a "career" as such, but we've told her that we have her back no matter what.

@RobMcLeod9 @politics_w_sami You're forgetting all the jobs that will be created in developing the industrial base for this project. Further, if this project is successful, those jobs will likely become much more long-term, as the high-speed rail system gets expanded across the country.

[Matt Middleton @MMiddleton]

@barua_ashish @fuckyouiquit They also ignore that the things that almost all the things that went down on that chart are manufactured goods, not services. Also, perhaps with the exception of cars, these are mostly manufactured overseas in facilities that pay their employees squat.

[Matt Middleton @MMiddleton]

@startupvon @fuckyouiquit Such as?

[Matt Middleton @MMiddleton]

@straczynski My wife got me the Blu-ray set when it came out, and we did a (slow) rewatch. First time she saw it, she wasn't super into it, but this time she understood why I love it so much. We were both in tears at the end, as I always am. Thank you for writing an amazing story.

[Matt Middleton @MMiddleton]

@SatoshiChela @GestaltU Absolutely! Also, even supposed "losers" still provide valuable data that can point to more viable options.

@straczynski Thank you for always being honest, and as open as possible (understanding that sometimes things have to be kept under one's hat in the moment). Sorry you have to keep reiterating these points for the 💩 disturbers.
