@stephanie do you mean his statements about why he thinks Leiper doesn't stand a chance to actually win, or have I missed something else?

Neil Saravanamuttoo of https://betterottawa.ca/ is considering a run for mayor. That would be quite refreshing, he seems completely genuine (and clearly qualified). I hope enough people sign up to support (https://betterottawa.ca/thethousand/)

@adr hello, I think I am one of „the supply people“? At least I find the pro-supply argument convincing.

This article doesn’t have a strong argument IMO. The housing supply per capita is irrelevant since kids don‘t usually have their own dwellings. Housing supply per adult has stayed constant since the 90s. But as far as I know more and more people live on their own, so demand could have increased.

Plus, the article doesn’t touch on vacancy rates at all.

the data model me and @omarieclaire wrote is in the latest Git release!

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?” A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages. It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. Do the steps sound familiar?

Today I was allowed to get very close to this beautiful female kestrel.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I found this website hosted on your servers: https://peaceandquiet.io/
— it maps where Black people live and is called “Peace & Quiet,” implying racial groups are undesirable. This constitutes hate speech and may violate U.S. civil rights law (42 U.S.C. §1981, §1982) and EU anti-discrimination law (Council Directive 2000/43/EC).

And it's out!

Zack Whittaker and I have released our report on the pilot survey we conducted to increase awareness about threats security researchers and journalists who report on cybersecurity and cybercrime experience.

We are grateful to all those who responded to the survey and shared a bit of their experiences. Based on what we found in a pilot survey with a non-random sample, I really think we need to do a bigger study that can also do a deeper dive into some questions.

You can read the report in html or download the .pdf version:

In conjunction with the release of the report, I've also added a new "Threats" category to DataBreaches.net.

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority. The “silent majority” for #ClimateAction needs to get loud. People want action. Smart cities need to go much further, much faster.

The most interesting thing about Pierre Poilievre surviving the Conservative Party of Canada leadership review, after losing a staggering poll lead and his own seat and having to be gifted one of the safest seats in Canada, is that he STILL REFUSES to submit to the completely normal security check.

We’re getting our message across: Canada’s passenger rail lines should be revived after decades of vanishing service https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-canada-passenger-line-revival-railway-cars-planes/

I haven’t seen this kind of comparison before, but that’s just shocking. #ClimateCrisis
