New renderings released this week provide the most detailed vision yet of Donald Trump’s proposed $400m White House ballroom addition.
The renderings, submitted by the project’s architects and released on Friday by the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), depict a vast sprawling structure, expected to be around 90,000sq ft, from multiple angles.
In the images, the proposed building stands level with the White House mansion.
The renderings appear in a 28-page documen…

I'm in the middle of watching the new Knives Out on Netflix. I'm liking the humour so far! At one point they even did a noticeable animated film grade to underscore the mood change of a dialogue scene. It's not often that this done in movies (grading usually only changes this drastically when cutting to a past event or a "vision").

This has a lot of good issues and vision. You can probably get the core ideas after watching a short while (Though at the end he talks about some possible alternatives).
He does go on and on and probably could say everything with much less words. But the bottom line is he's probably right unless there is some radical new technology / technique that shows up. And if that happens, all the Big HyperScaler companies go bust.

Part 3 - Moving forward
One of Mastodon's strengths is its decentralized structure. That also means no centralized marketing or development strategy focused on growth, particularly in Canada. Perhaps a volunteer group could take on that development plan and grow the Canadian user base.
- A vision of what an ideal future state would look like would benefit the planning and action steps. Collecting input from Canadian admins is recommended.
- We shouldn't burden existing admins beyond their current responsibilities. Volunteers would take actions like reaching out to politicians or government agencies.
Potential next steps:
1) Host a web meeting with interested Canadian admins to collect input on a shared vision for this project.
2) Collect volunteers who would be interested in reaching out to politicians or government agencies about creating a presence on Mastodon.
3) Select members of the group to be part of a steering committee.
4) Create a unique hashtag for this project for reporting and followers.
