Halloween is tomorrow! A friendly reminder to motorists. 📷 @tomflood.bsky.social

Ticket reselling should 100% not be a thing. But the fact that the outrage is strong because of baseball but was less so about live music tells us a lot about what kind of spectacles we think people "deserve" to see.

@mavenofmayhem.bsky.social By absolute coincidence I just found out that my office neighbour is the one doing the interior design for the coffee space! Small world!!

#BREAKING: Today, I am announcing the Ontario NDP's Fans First plan: ban ticket resale above face value. If a ticket says $100, fans should pay $100. Not a cent more. If Ford votes this down, fans will know exactly who to blame. 📣 Add your name to demand action: FairPricesNow.ca

This is the perfect use of a pedestrian scramble. 10/10. No notes.

Have any of my local-ish peeps dealt with trying to get a package delivered by GLS? They claim to have been trying to deliver something since Friday but tracking says "we were closed"...which is weird, since it's my house. Same thing yesterday.

On Oct. 11, 1979, the first episode of the revival of The Littlest Hobo debuted on CTV. Based off a 1958 movie and 1960s TV show, it aired for six seasons and 114 episodes. With its famous theme song, it is beloved by generations of Canadians. This is the story. 🧵 1/11

Dear Guelph Drivers: If you have to screech to a halt at the cross walk to avoid hitting me, don't 'wave me through' like you're doing me a favour.

Welcome to my birthday month, all y'all!

Hey @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social and @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social I see the new left turn "green boxes" at Norfolk and Suffolk have signage about using them to make a left hand turn. These signs seem to suggest I am required to do so. Is this true, or can I use the left hand turn lane as usual?

Genuinely, the pin response that has surprised me most was these pride frogs. I expected them to break even within about a week (look how cute they are!) but I'm still almost £500 down.

hey @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social, have you noted the green bike boxes at Suffolk/Norfolk? So, what the deal with them if I am not the first vehicle to arrive at the intersection? Do I pass on the right and enter the box or am I just out of luck?

CANADIANS and OTHER NON-AMERICANS: I’m looking for housing. Late 30s, nonbinary, doing an online university program. I’m Ontario-based, but open to relocating. It’s just me and a sweet, well-behaved indoor kitty. And a few plants. 🌱 Do any of you guys have space available, potentially?

To the absolute delight of a man making a right (on the red) onto Woolwich off Wyndham in a white van: If a pedestrian tells you that you're sitting in their crosswalk right of way, the correct response is to apologize and back up. The incorrect response is to hurl insults and profanity.

When you finally meet @katebueckert.bsky.social IRL (after like a decade of social media interaction), she leaves the Royals game early, gives you her door prize ticket, and it wins the grand prize. ...and she let me keep it.

To the white Prius on Suffolk and Woolwich this morning: You are the best driver I have seen in this city since I moved back here 12 years ago. They not only moved over a lane to pass me on my bike, but they SIGNALLED when they moved back!

Turns out nothing motivates like a fine in the mail. According to Ottawa data, before #speedcameras were implemented: only 16% of drivers followed the speed limit! 🟥 Before cameras: 16% 🟧 After 3 months: 57% 🟨 After 1 year: 69% 🟩 After 3 years: 81% That’s not just a jump it's a shift in habits!

Hey Guelph friends! Did you know there is a telescope loan program in town!? My cottage vacation just got way cooler!

My #Guelph #cycling to work experience this morning: DRIVER: Follow the rules of the road! But not THOSE rules, those inconvenience me!

Even in 1985 I was really into cycling. Safely.

I might finally put away the winter running tights this weekend.

Help settle a dispute in our house: crushed up mini eggs in a waffle. Yay or nay?

Today was my first "say no to US products" sadness. I was really looking forward to the Sweet Potato Crackers that were on sale at Costco... But, I put them back on the shelf. Also finding myself annoyed at "imported by" on labels.

Credit where credit is due these MAGA fellas upheld their end of the bargain after losing the bet. We miss the days where we all got along before this divisive, selfish con man came along 💔 #trumpsucks youtu.be/Tl4ggwyWEMI

Mobility hubs are often designed around the prototypical commuter: male, working a 9-to-5 job and taking a fixed route to and from work...“a worker who is already fed, who doesn’t need to do grocery shopping and who is carrying very [few] items." But what about the rest of us?
