Man, thinking about @TaoofStieb and @TheAck and all those years of them writing about the Jays. World Series time!

About a decade ago I went to Winnipeg for work and stayed in haunted Room 202. It was pre-renovation, room looked way creepier than the picture below. It was a very strange night, and I didn't sleep well at all.

The Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg is considered to be one of the most haunted place in Canada. From the ghostly guests who remain there, to the haunted Room 202, it is a place with plenty of paranormal happenings. This is the haunted story! 🧵 1/10

Yes! This would be awesome and hopefully not influenced by Big Snowshoe.


Honoured to have poured a drink at Mike’s Place for half of the Board. (I’m pretty sure)

Really good panel at All IN on Thursday. Good diversity of examples from the Feds, both policy and actions. Having @lucyhargreaves4 & @build_canada is a good challenge on these for governments. The more voices on IT procurement in Canada the better!

I'm on stage today to talk about AI + the Future of Public Administration in Montreal. 130-215pm. I think one of the biggest ways AI can transform the public service is SPEED .... getting approvals and services in minutes and days rather than months and years would go a long…

Mental note: every time I change numbers email Murad “Hi”

Being a reporter means hoping against hope that the "Hi" text from an unknown Yukon or Indiana or Wisconsin number is the start of a beautiful source relationship with someone you cold-messaged your number to on LinkedIn, and not a job-offer scam

A) turned 50 last week. B) a highlight of today was Big Country showing up on a playlist.

Generation X is officially old. And so (almost) am I. johnivison.substack.com/p/generation-x…



Why yes, I would like to watch a Netflix movie of their appearance (and why these 3). Can someone make this happen?

Actually, it was just Frank Zappa, John Denver and me.



Agreed with Max on Corey, especially on #1 have a plan. Bill James would write, if you have a plan, you can at least smart adjustments if it’s wrong and still get to your goal.

This, by @coreyhoganyyc, is very smart and wise. The Liberals are lucky to have someone so thoughtful in their caucus. They should use him. #cdnpoli coreyhogan.ca/p/how-to-shrin…



Saw this living in Prague at one of those small art house theatre they have in Europe. Whole time thinking, this director really knows what he’s doing.

I think watching Memento by Christopher Nolan is the perfect preparation for a career as a prompt engineer. Naturally explains the concepts of knowledge knockoff, limited context windows, and dangers of hallucination.

“Our stories are so similar, it’s crazy”: The unlikely story of how @stereophonics became a @thehipofficial cover band, and the small-town ties and tragic storylines that still unite them.


This is a great run down on GDPR compliance costs. Especially on how much it hits smaller firms.

France just held a big AI summit. They want to build up their tech sector. Global prosperity would be enhanced by this. But I can't tell you how insane EU regulation is here, and how it inadvertently enhances market power of big US firms. Let's look at GDPR, for example. 1/x
