@AppleMusic your taxonomy needs work. This is not Russian Pop (as much as Putin may wish it were). #Latvian Image
@AppleMusic Ditto these. 1991 was a pretty important year, geopolitically - your categories might want to reflect it (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_o…) Image
@AppleMusic Notably this category was selected based on my listening to Latvian artists. I have no interest in Russian pop (nor a habit of listening to it)
@AppleMusic Not that there’s anything wrong with it. It’s just not For Me…

Thinking about this week's actions by #HamOnt council, sanctioning the LGBTQ committee chair for purportedly publishing PII against the advice of the Clerk by tweeting his committee's motion.

The Clerk helpfully replaced the document yesterday. Let's see what changed.

/Thread
Here's the replacement text. There are clearly three sections of text redacted to protect Personal Information. Implied in the Integrity Commissioner's report and commentary, this text was personally identifying.
Fortunately the previous version (also published by the Clerk) is available for comparison. What do we find?

.@JasonThorne_RPP A modest proposal, apropos of Main & Queen/Hess in #HamOnt:

Adding some lines may enable better flow of traffic & stop undermining the case for road diets on our main thoroughfares. Image
The problem: traffic is regularly backing up as far as (and past) Locke St.

The cause: conflict directly east of Queen St., where lane 2 ends and lane 1 splits. Drivers in lane 1 should enter 'new' lane 1, allowing lane 2 to enter 'new' lane 2.

They aren't.
Given we've got at least a month left of this closure, and the relatively trivial cost of either paint or (better?) road marking tape, surely we can provide some assistance to drivers, clear the blockage, and help Hamilton drivers see that 5 lanes is more than we need?

Men:

You had the balls to make family.
Find them again and speak up for family needs.

Actions:
- share the trade-offs: create a joint work schedule that allows both of you to do your thing
- ask for (and provide) concentrated work hours
- make subconscious household work conscious and contribute. Make checklists *you* can use at the end of the day if you need them
- listen
- ask “what do we need right in this moment?”
- ask “what do you need of me in this moment?”
- sit with your fears & other feelings - dig in, interrogate them. I can help you find support with this.

Now this is properly misleading packaging.

Looks like a good-sized pack of chicken bits - compares well to similar options at the same price point… Image
…but what’s that in faint type in the “Plum Sauce packets included” call-out? Might be something important… Image
…yup, ~200g of sugar glue. But surely that can’t mean that… Image

An important read.
