The site I get most of my cookie recipes from adds the amount of the ingredient in the steps portion. I wish all recipes did this. It’s so nice not having to scroll up

I am truly shocked to not find more thinkpieces on the incredible graphic design and typography of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign but maybe that’s because searching on the internet is garbage now. TL;DR lead designer was Aneesh Bhoopathy of Forge Co-Op Roundup of articles in thread 🧵

It should be illegal to win the World Series on the road. We should be in “extra games” and go back and forth between Toronto and LA until someone wins at home.

Dodgers Centre. They should have kept the Skydome name. Cursed themselves.

Halloween is the best “American” holiday because it is Canadian: thetyee.ca/Culture/2024...

You know, if they had just called it the Rogers Skydome, I think most people would have been happy.

If you cannot see children trick-or-treating, maybe consider not driving tonight?

👻 This year’s pun-and-pinky costume is “phantom pain”

Good defense of halloween, the most urban holiday we have. minnesotareformer.com/2025/10/30/t...

I swear, this city spends more time, energy, and money on chopping down trees …

A great thread!!

Colonel Sanders behind home plate at the World Series game in Toronto. It’s a fun fact that he lived in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga from 1965 until his death in 1980.

Am I hallucinating or is that Colonel Sanders behind the plate at Skydome tonight?

My Brie-baseball and pretzel-stick bat snack platter kind of sucks, honestly, but at least I tried.

Record highs in October

If the Rogers Centre had a parking lot that covered the same surface area as the Dodgers' parking lot, it would stretch from Queen Street on one end to the Lake Ontario waterfront on the other

Dodger Stadium's parking lot is so big that it could fit an additional 10 Dodger Stadiums. People think that families were displaced out of Chavez Ravine in the 50s in order to build the stadium, but it's technically more accurate to say that they were displaced to build the stadium's parking lots.

“I think I spent just an afternoon on it.” An annual repost as the World Series opens: From 2008, writer Paul Lukas (Uni Watch) interviews retired graphic designer Jerry Dior (1932-2015) about his creation of the MLB logo in 1968. ⚾️ Full article: espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/081105

Everyone wants to hear my elevator pitch, but no one wants to hear my Darth Vader pitch.

Protected cycle lanes =/= Painted lines

In Milwaukee, police will now be able to impound any vehicle driven recklessly. City Alderman: “It’s a two-ton weapon. We should look at this the same way we look at firearms. Let’s get as many of them off the street as possible.”

Turns out the Discover tab is magical

I don’t make the world’s best Strava art, but it is the most meaningful to me, today. #stravaart

Christmas is coming and this would look great on your favourite Hamilton cyclist

And Canada’s. Lots of great Strong Towns people north of the border too 🇨🇦

Can’t decide whether the caption should be ‘this says a lot about our society’ or ‘this is u lol’

telling that the reaction to this has been overwhelmingly positive, and that his detractors aren't really pushing this as an attack vector. maybe it's because trans rights are overwhelmingly popular in polling! could be!

Generous to put us on this list (read the highlighted side note 🙄) #Canada #rail

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus! We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them. Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest" US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

“What’s the charge? Eating a seal?”

By me this week - the happiest thing I've got to report of late, with a glorious trip over the summer to Montreal "Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport." www.economist.com/internationa...

What if you had to take your drivers test at least every 10 years? A lot changes over time. Including knowledge/memory of the road rules, driver skills and ability, and the size and deadliness of vehicles.

Love being geographically close to a powerful exemplar state.

"The single most important behaviour, design or regulation for creating streets conducive to walking and cycling, was physical separation between the modes" We've got a new study out, learning from a broad mixture of street users, planners and designers www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Just use the crosswalk!

“A few loud critics can make anything look controversial.” Amen!

Can’t even count how many people have “that cold” that’s going around. It’s Covid, but everyone’s afraid to say it. Got my booster today, flu too, to do my part in maintaining immunity.

“In 2023, cars and their drivers killed 8,820 American pedestrians and bicyclists — 7,314 pedestrians and 1,166 cyclists. They injured another 136,281, an increase of over 5,300 injuries from 2022.” Put the responsibility where it belongs. Via @jalopnik.bsky.social www.jalopnik.com/1979666/defe...

NPR: “Drivers kill more than 8,000 people a year, and as a radio station, a huge portion of our audience is drivers. We might have a responsibility to address their unsafe behaviour, but instead, what if we flattered drivers that this death toll is actually their victims’ fault?”

Very cool piece. ⚛️ “The definition of a greenhouse gas: any atmospheric molecule whose quantum states precisely match the wavelengths of Earth’s radiation.”

On the unmet need for safe bike storage: "Results suggest a relative undersupply of bicycle parking at destinations compared with free car parking [and] an increasing need for bicycle parking for costlier e-bikes." findingspress.org/article/1442...

Now confirmed: a driver killed two cyclists with his truck this weekend on Kenaston, right after the bike path runs out south of Sterling Lyon.

I was luckier than this, but two things sound so familiar: the implacability of systems that just will not change, and the kindness of individual strangers

Some news: This winter Team Oonee is launching NYC's first Dutch-Style🚲 parking hub in Brooklyn's Sunset Park. The Hub will provide free parking for 100+ bikes/scooters, and will include safe charging, and appt based repairs + lite service. This will make history in several ways. More deets in 🧵👇🏾
