dewline: "Not Fail" (not fail)
I'm feeling more comfortable with Twitter as a company after reading this particular article about Dantley Davis, currently Twitter's Chief Design Officer:

The article details some of Mr. Davis' history before and during his time at Twitter, and some of the improvements that he's had a direct hand in bringing about and some side mentions of upcoming additions to that service as well.

The title and summary of his opinion is in the URL. I'm not convinced that Mr. Maher is correct, and unsure of how much progress we're making towards building a more just society, but he has a case to make here.

As someone interested in passenger rail, graphic design and where the two intersect, this gets my attention:

I do think Mr. Barney is correct about the idea of re-nationalising the passenger rail system(s) of the UK to whatever degree practical and possible, but I've lived in the land of VIA Rail here in Canada all my life. CP and CN had their own passenger services when I was born, but VIA has been around so long that I can't quite imagine the idea of each rail line running its own passenger lines along with the freight services.

Getting back to watching Ottawa City Council discussing motions re: the O-Train in particular and OC Transpo public transit service in general...
