In Greek if you are annoying someone you could say τα κάνω τσουρέκια, or “I turned their testicles into Easter buns.”

Flour, rice, charcoal. One day I'll be able to consistently unzipper this shit by hand in one smooth motion and I'll feel like a wizard but today is another day for scissors.

The only remotely valid reason to argue with idiots (Nazis or otherwise) on X is to fight disinformation, but if you and others aren't there to consume it all they're doing is a human centipede of information waste. Just leave them to consume their own shit and go elsewhere.

This looks like some wacked out new piece of gym equipment, it just fits so well in the hand. Clearly for resistance training.

There’s a movie named Constipation It hasn’t come out yet

Been noticing an aversion to air conditioning in Australia unless absolutely necessary and I'm beginning to think it's a result of the non existence of insulation and air sealing. The minisplits run endlessly as a result, never reaching an equilibrium, sucking all the humidity out of the air.

I tried to find a photo of Christopher Plummer riding a bike, and instead I found this photo of a guy named Chris who's a plumber, which is even better.

It's not even 7:00AM and I'm already sweating without moving. I'm not sure if I'd rather have 34C, or the -10C back on Toronto at this point.

Great read but I don't know if the algorithm google uses is misleading or can be dubbed a "market maker". Recency or a virality can be important in dining. Restaurants aren't always static. Sometimes that place you loved sucks a few months later. Capturing hype in recommendations has value.

Why do people feel the need to lie? Is it just an attention seeking thing? Look at the sign over the bridge. The difference in structure at each abutment. The bizarre sharpness and depth of field. You want to use AI, go for it, but enough with the lies.

Toronto folks: if I were looking at alternatives to Distillery for a Christmas themed day in the city next weekend, what are your top suggestions?

Canadian ice cream bars have some catching up to do after being exposed to the Australian offerings. Golden Gaytime and Mango Macadamia Weiss Bars are streets ahead.

There was a ton of sensationalism over the tanker seizure, nice to get some overview of the facts leading up to it.

The Canadian government making procurement boondoggles has been a thing long before the dawn of "AI" and I don't expect it to stop after it either. I guess what I'm saying is I don't think you can blame this one on AI.

Early in my career I attended estimate review meetings with the design team and stakeholders Sometimes they wanted to review every line in the estimate. For context an estimate can be thousands of line items. As the SME in the room I wanted to die, I can only imagine the pain of everyone else.

C'mon Toronto get it together. Instead we're throwing up sad towns in place of previous density.

We got a Four Row Month alert coming up this February. Truly magnificent-looking month. Stardew Valley-lookin' calendar.

When they first started talking about this, everyone was all "just start somewhere, anywhere" now they've started it and everyone's upset they picked up with the cheap end not the expensive one.

CALLED IT.

I put this together back at the old place, and I'm not claiming it's accurate, but I think I can confidently say it's closer to reality than their claim. My number is probably low (estimates always are). The Toronto to Quebec City stretch came in at about $177.3B

The Canadian government actually seems maybe serious about building high-speed rail, starting with Ottawa to Montreal (as Paige Saunders suggested in a video once). Canada’s public broadcaster, however, seems unable to find Montreal and Laval on the map.

Been arguing this for months now. You don't have to like it, but if you think students will stop using it you're deluded. Better off embracing it selectively and constructively and shaping its use.

Mên-an-Tol is probably from the Bronze Age, making it around 3,500 years old (little evidence has been found). It consists of four stones, the most unusual being the circular and pierced upright stone. The other three stones are more regular granite pillars. #StandingStoneSunday

I want to like online games but I'm usually quickly reminded I don't play well with others.

Real bummed to be missing out on the Toronto weather right now...

TTCriders just held a press conference at City Hall to call for transit signal priority & other measures to speed up Line 6 & rest of the streetcar/LRT network! It's embarassing that the $3.7-billion Line 6 is operating at slower speeds than the bus it replaced. This is unacceptable. Fix the 6!

Ok this story is FUCKED.

A wikipedia only e-paper tablet seems like a genuinely amazing idea.

The second reckoning is when you figure out the ones that seem the most confident very often know the least...

There's two kinds of excel users, those that don't use it when they should, and those that use it for everything they shouldn't.

This is what happens when your donors have massive stakes in commercial real estate. Better prop up those property values and rents with unnatural demand, even if the jobs have no actual benefit from being physically present.

My @thestar.com column this week: Bike Share Toronto is riding high but a new growth plan risks putting a proverbial stick in the spokes, with a big focus on extracting more revenue from users. Let's not let enshittification ruin this ride. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Just once I’d like an athlete to say “hail Satan” at the beginning of a post game interview, is that too much to ask

The transit priority false flag.

The Australians have declared war, I'd like to see whatever twisted individual dreamed this up and attributed it to us tried in the Hague.

It's not just cutting traffic, it’s cleaning the air. A new Cornell study found that in the first six months of NYC's congestion pricing: 💨 Air pollution dropped by 22% in the core Manhattan zone. 🌳 The benefits spread to all five boroughs AND the suburbs! news.cornell.edu/stories/2025...

All I can see is wasted walls, gutters, a bunch of independent inefficient plumbing drainage. Even in North America we build these suburbs with the adjacency of towns and multiplexes but none of the efficiency.

My read on this is that Penn didn't necessarily reject the core kernel of libertarianism but the gaggle of idiots that inevitably comes to any label that picks up steam. Ideological absolutism is toxic wherever it comes up. It happens time and time again, regardless of what core wisdom existed.
