NEW: I’m happy to announce a new general consulting arrangement advising the City of , Ontario’s 3rd largest city! I’m working with new CAO/City Manager Shari Lichterman on flexible, creative ways to help with their city-building challenges, with first working trip next month. Stay tuned for more.

adamjcook,

@BrentToderian Congrats! 🎉

When is the City of going to sue local slumlord, Dennis Kefallinos, and his dipshit son for the way that The Michigan Theatre Building is being left to rot?

Are they getting hit with blight violations at least?

It’s fucking absurd that this building is not being put to work.

adamjcook,

@mrbunnylamakins True. Very true.

But , to its credit, has been getting very aggressive lately at tuning up these deadbeat property owners.

Time to turn up the heat a bit more in my view.

We have no time to waste.

adamjcook,

@mrbunnylamakins I can tell you this much… the blight violation fines that issues on these properties are currently far too small and far too infrequent.

We have to start cracking these deadbeats good.

IF YOU ARE FROM TWITTER:

  • Use Elk when on the web, it looks exactly like Twitter. https://elk.zone
  • Use Ivory or Mona on iOS, they function exactly like Twitter.
adamjcook,

@sam Check out @radiant if you on iOS also.

It has a thread composer and Quote Toots.

I am enjoying it so far.

Take a break from doom-posting about Twitter and look at my

adamjcook,

@elias I was just going to say!

This meltdown is messing up my ! 😅

Calls for better worker protections as workers are dying of heatstroke in and elsewhere. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66070216?at_medium=mastodon&at_campaign=mastodon

adamjcook,

@ai6yr Worker protections? In ?

They barely have them in (effectively)...

is an absolute joke in the US - and I have the scars to prove it (as a former machinist on the South Side of ).

So, if it was not the case before, now that seems to be walled off for good...

How can the and, say, The White House (as a two random examples) continue to remain solely on social media platforms that are inaccessible to millions of unregistered users?

Those exclusively on the , an open platform, are being actively denied public services, official policy announcements and timely emergency alerts.

Wondering if there is a legal argument here.

adamjcook,

Yup.

It was a honeypot, as predicted.

just wants to replicate paywalls.

The man is simply a serial liar, through-and-through.

Quoting @JenMsft:

Sure... I mean... to a certain degree... whatever.

is his platform now (and is being used to project his hateful ideology and to advance his political interests).

That is a given now.

But the lying with this man.

It is simply incredible.

I have been dealing with it for years with respect to 's program, but a chief executive that lies as much as , in operational control of several firms manufacturing safety-critical systems... it really makes one think.

adamjcook,

@ljs @JenMsft Oh!

You read my mind.

Just posted something on that. 😅

adamjcook,

@ljs Oh. I agree.

is actively and aggressively tearing down decades of hard-fought, industry norms as it pertains to systems work - and that is very much by design.

And disinterested regulators allow him to get away with the most blatant of violations.

New engineering graduates are being cycled through Musk-controlled firms like - only to likely leave with a very poor internal safety culture (that other firms can later exploit).

A race to the bottom.

adamjcook,

@bhawthorne I will just settle for US safety regulators rolling out of bed, for once, to challenge 's vast wrongdoings marginally.

Something. Anything.

This guy is out there... openly selling and running Beta software on public roads... and regulators could, so far, care less.

It is incredible.

Even with the shamefully low regulatory bar in the US.
