Great to be at @uofgpolicy.bsky.social #StopStart conference on public sector reform. Hearing @jimmccormick.bsky.social open the day with a sense of hope for what can be achieved urging us to move towards the “bright spots” of what is working already to help reduce child poverty and support families

Driving a stick shift makes me think "wow autos must be so fucking easy"
You put it into drive, and you don't have to worry about finding the bite in stopstart traffic and you just squeeze the throttle when you want to go

Anyone who thinks it would be a sound idea to allow football teams the ability to "challenge" refereeing decisions should be forced to watch how it impacts the spectator experience in Rugby League.

They look potentially well designed for these purposes. And cute. But imagine how much more wonderful they'd be if they had friendly drivers to avoid stopstart hallucinations, and make the journey pleasant, help the passengers in and out.

Great Q&A session during which the Permanent Secretary suggests developing an opportunity register to go alongside the established risk register. A very interesting idea that could form part of a positive public policy agenda?

It’s not that school entered total lockdown either: the stopstart closures, random days off bc teachers demanded virtual schooling, and then incredibly poor implementation of virtual school.
In the exit polls, the Democrats lost so, so badly with young families. It was the single biggest swing

Noticed the CBC of all people is adding plink plonk noises to some video reports. That slows down information transfer even more and just results in me skipping the report entirely. Prefer a written 'how you do it' article over a stopstart YouTube video with 'music' about the same thing.
