Entire AEC industry losing their collective minds.

This week #Japan's JR East launched its first all-freight bullet train, an E3 Shinkansen. Passenger seats were removed to maximize interior space. First run carried 800 containers, including scallops! www.japantimes.co.jp/business/202...

I cant believe I have to wear a fucking down filled parka on Opening Day

Floricanes 2025 vs 2026. We're still working through the freezer stash from last year... I think yield might be a bit more significant this year, and I'll be spending more time on a ladder.

Perhaps more shocking is that 40% of respondents on a cycling survey don't own a bike.

Suddenly remembering the whole reason I made this bot was to identify and document a pattern of problems with bike share distribution. Given the months of evidence, it might finally be time to reach out to bike share and some councillors with a structured complaint.

I’m semi seriously convinced that if you sufficiently manipulated her twitter and facebook feeds you could get Lily Chen to present a motion to remove the word “gullible” from the ceiling of the council chambers

As we get excited for Friday’s home opener, we're taking at a look at some dramatic views of the SkyDome under construction between 1986 and 1989. https://ow.ly/OfgL50YwOAj https://ow.ly/1in550YwOGW #GoJaysGo

Solid lens, I'm sure Douglas's is in stellar condition.

Metrolinx wasted a lot of time with this map. It shows how many routes ignored local trip generation and focused on getting people to the core. A Don Mills / Thorncliffe / Pape alignment had been around since the 60s and actually went where there were people and jobs.

The Vancouver NIMBYs always seem to be way more active on bluesky and other social media. Supertalls are an enormous headache to build. If the market supports it, just leave it alone.

The chives survived!

Councillor Mike Colle rises to ask to have a moment of silence for the pilots killed in the LaGuardia crash. "We did, at the beginning of the meeting," Nunziata says. "I didn't hear it. I'm sorry," says Colle, re: the moment of silence.

May the call of this beautiful laughing kookaburra uplift your day. #bird #kookaburra #australia

Downtown Toronto saw its lowest bike availability at 2026-03-24 11:38:00, with 43.9% of the service area covered only by empty stations. This visualization compares downtown coverage at that moment with the wider network. #BikeTO #Toronto #BikeShare

Time is THE enemy.

It was about the fifth time they said this wasn't in response to any particular threat that I began to suspect this might be in response to a particular threat.

Beachman does not make e-bikes. They make e-motos. The difference matters. A lot. Gift link for y'all www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/b86a88d...

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

The City is running a cargo bike corral pilot program (https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.IE18.9). Please email requests for potential cargo bike parking corral locations to [email protected] by April 2. Requested locations will be considered for installation in 2026.

Well this is getting interesting.

Oh Bickford.

The craziest thing I learned writing this report is that it costs more money in NYC to move trash from a small apartment building to the curb a few feet away than it does to move it from the curb to these landfills and incinerators hundreds of miles away centerforzerowastedesign.org/all/advocacy...

Just another Sunday at Zürich Hauptbahnhof … 60 trains in the next 45 minutes.

I've been coming back to this photo for a few years now, and it pisses me off every time. Probably a main source of my RAM hatred.

I really love our city. What do you get when you find yourself at an Eastern European music venue and restaurant and they’re playing heavy metal klezmer? Pure awesomeness. Drom Taberna is a magical part of Toronto’s vibrant and diverse arts scene. And trust me, try the goulash.

There's 9 million robins suddenly. Hawks are gonna have a day.

“Maybe we should remove the luggage racks from the train that was built just to go to the airport” is absolutely peak Toronto www.thetrillium.ca/news/municip...

If being opposed to grey rectangular concrete boxes as housing makes me a NIMBY I guess I'm a NIMBY now.

Dave Pollot, a #NewYork– based #artist who transforms forgotten #thriftstore paintings into witty pop-culture mashups. By carefully #painting into existing #artworks w/o disturbing their original style, he reimagines classical landscapes & still lifes w/ unexpected modern references @davepollotart

How could this possibly go wrong.

Real astronomy, not CGI One of the coolest parts of this entire experience is that they wanted the real thing. In a world where CGI and AI are everywhere, it meant a lot to know they were genuinely excited to use real astronomical data and real structures from the night sky #sciart [no spoilers]

Hey, March here, just getting in touch to remind you it's still March. Have a good March, Sincerely, March.

I'd start buying up almost viable properties and their neighbours at or above market in MTSAs.

Friendly reminder that despite everything, there are things that are getting better and it's important they're celebrated

Wait... Can we rebalance bike share stations with these?

I’d rather have this:

fur babies

Y'know the sidewalk icewalls were shit but at least delivery trucks stopped parking where people walk and everything still made it to its destination.

Metrolinx's long-term strategy.
