Do these come in adult sizes?

Done! We all need accessible walkable trails, especially in urban centres. That this is under threat because the TTC wants to aquire city owned land to park 2 trains is ridiculous.

"It is a peculiar hallmark of the American economy that you can produce a dangerous product and effectively offload any legal liability for whatever that product may cause by pointing to the individual responsibility of the consumer."

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Long live the public library. I wish cities would offer more free third spaces. That we often have to purchase something just to sit and exist is so sad. Yes, parks are my absolute fave for this, but as a winter city, Toronto is rather unwelcoming for free outdoor existing.

Trying to organize my donations for the end of the year and having the 'do I trust this org website or is it an AI scam' is doing my head in. Am I just an Old Person who doesn't trust the internet now or am I properly cautious...?

This looks super interesting, but it's crammed into only 1.25 hours...? I'd like to hear a lot more on their listed topics.

This is exactly what Hallmark(ish) The Musical is about. Just played in Toronto and is was very cute. Certainly way better than actual Hallmark films.

What's living an actual life for when the destruction machine can just conjure one up for you?

I have loved this track ever since hearing it in the strip club in Beverly Hills Cop. Seeing the video now reminds me of just how terrible lingerie was in the 80s. Long live Vanity 6. youtu.be/0aQndRqi3jE?...

Slowly getting through Homer's The Iliad and I had not anticipated how funny it is. So far the whole story is Agamemnon and Achilles yelling at each other, flush with amazing insults like 'dog-face'. Achilles keeps harping on Ag's overinflated sense of self and it rocks. Read the Classics.

youtube.com/watch?v=Mzw2... I wish I could remember the last time I saw a good Greek myth film. This one certainly won't be it. Despite the individual actors being good, their casting in this is so uninspiring. And this trailer looks fan-made. Sigh.

Oooh, I enjoyed this. While Stevens calls this the 'Safdie school' of filmmaking, I often call it the 'stories of the mediocre white dude', of which I have absolutely zero interest in entertaining. I also couldn't get through If I Had Legs I'd Kick You. And I'm a therapist.

Streisand Effect ftw

Therapists push back as the anti-trans group Therapy First has slipped its way into providing continuing education to medical professionals. @veraeikon.bsky.social provides original reporting for this story exclusively on Assigned Media.

Evergreen

Wolf wrote an entire book based on her assumption of what a specific legal term meant, only for someone on a radio interview w her told she she has misunderstood the term, debunking her whole thesis on live radio.

'... can never become...' from a guy that believes the human aging process can be stopped.

I'm just gonna go back to reading the 20 yr old magazines in my doctor's waiting room, thanks.

Woe is the parent trying to source quality-made goth gear for their young adult. Why are so many makers using shit materials.

In case anyone cares about who Michele Singer Reiner was other than "Rob Reiner's wife", she was a photographer, producer, and social activist, and apparently taught Rob about love. Honestly, headline writers: at least put her name in the gd headline, too.

"It’s a monster movie about living in a country where the monsters are always circling, lies and empty promises on their breath, ill intentions barely concealed by their smiles." This is a beautiful piece of deserved praise of Black art and deserved critique of white ignorance.

I would like a Good News Only tab on this app, please and thank you.

The capitalist rush to force ppl to experience bereavement TWICE for someone is diabolical. These apps will absolutely will not live forever, so don't expect your dead loved one to, either.

All Of Us Strangers. I can handle 'devastatingly beautiful' only once.

I'm 52 years old, still having anxiety dreams about high school. The typical theme is having to show up to class I haven't attended in a while, have no idea what room they're in, who the teachers are, or what time they start. I never have a written schedule and I start to freak out.

This is a beautiful film to watch.

Constantine. It's a hill I'd die on.

100%. His performance is amazing and Dangerous Animals is one of the best films I've seen in years.

And Canada over here clambering to get in. Gross.

Oh, man. NoFap and the anti-masturbation crowd are a virus.

I'll never understand why both the Yonge Line and the University Line are both called Line 1. This makes no sense to me.

I have figured how to make a mathematical formula in a spreadsheet, give me a medal please.

Learning about 'nonviolent sabotage' in Hao's Empire of AI (re OpenAI teams fighting each other): -ask endless questions -relitigate decisions already made -talk as frequently as possible at great length -bring up irrelevant issues and I realized this is exactly what Toronto council does. #topoli

Masley: 'the most massive of massive errors in a book I've ever seen' Naomi Wolf: 'hold my beer'

Just read @graphicmatt.com's City Hall Watcher (always so great and a needed witty take on the disaster that is Toronto) and I look forward to his launching of a hot air balloon, perhaps to have a bird's eye view of City Hall...?

What a horror story about women having zero rights over their own lives. One "condition" allowing them to live where they want is to cease all social media posting, essentially cutting them off from the rest of society, one that is already having to smuggle care to them. F that noise.

I can still sing the whole theme song.

At this point, I'm ready to wrap a bunch of sticks in colourful twine and give that as gifts, I'm so averse to tech these days. Pretty much every new gadget is a surveillance tool for the wealthy to get wealthier, and the poor to become more marginalized.

Lemme guess. Anyone with a prostitution conviction will be barred. Where's the rescue industry now for ppl just trying to make a damn living?

xtramagazine.com/culture/swan... Sad to hear of Kier's passing. He was such a unique one, with such a strong screen presence. And those eyes. Swan Song is a sweet film.

I have never experienced so many people (all on foot) than I have when in Madrid markets over Christmas. Back to back to back pedestrians. And such a lovely vibe.

Seeing a tent doesn’t put anyone in danger. Being uncomfortable is not the same as being unsafe.

'AI will solve climate change, poverty, cancer, racism and and and' but we still don't even have a universal bus pass.

We're reprinting another Bitch mag classic today and celebrating @scarleteen.com, the internet's best sex-ed site.

www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no... Considering the theatre experience has turned to utter trash, I would totally do this. This is a way better 'dinner and a movie' night.

Toronto Hydro's entire website is down, "due to security reasons". Some hacker?

This is nothing but trolling by the Alberta govt. How gross.

This article reads like an outline for mid C20th sci-fi dystopia.

I will die never being able to comprehend how stupidity, malice, and purposeful ignorance are winning tactics for politicians. The theory that politicians are 'representative' is garbage when those same ppl overwhelmingly decide 'what's best for us', charter rights be damned.
