Richard Florida boostering the island airport wasn’t unexpected but I do wish the guy would choose to have better takes

Spent much of the day gardening and playing DQ7, which is not as good as FF7 but gosh was the 3DS version a glow up.

A Zoomer on YouTube just referred to KOTOR as “released near the turn of the century” while discussing the remake … I can’t… blocked, unsubscribed, reported.

The world’s biggest bike parking in Utrecht didn’t happen overnight. And it didn’t fall out of the sky. It’s the product of decades of effective urban and transport planning. Long-term political decisions. Sustained public investment. Great cycling cities aren’t miracles. They are policy outcomes.

Once again tech giants can’t be trusted with hardware. Remember when Google turned off everyone’s thermostats? I believe there is a simple legal intervention. Once a tech company has decided they’re done with the e hardware they must open source the software Community can maintain it no problem

I noticed on my dead end street the garbage truck backs up in reverse down the WHOLE street for pickup then drivers forward out of it Yet somehow a truck reversing a couple of into the lane is not allowed in new developments. Instead we must obliterate the ground floor with an interior turn around

Dick Cheney is surprisingly not in the files. Consider that twist. Dude really did all that simply for the love of the game.

Why no Apple BikePlay ???

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.

QRP with the doctor you’d trust leading the hantavirus response instead of RFK Jr.: (Dr. Tran, Internet Deep Cut)

It’s so funny that road conveyances have to receive a Record of Site Condition equivalent to highly sensitive uses (housing) because the City finds it preposterous that land FOR CARS TO CONTAMINATE might contain some contamination

The funniest thing about that Ryan Cohen “half cash and half stocks” interview is financial anchors being completely unfamiliar with an LBO. Like basic stuff. Seems like Succession viewers have more insight than the literal industry media.

My empire for an EV-swapped GZG50 Toyota Century or equivalent

The Planners Statement of Values contains, “To Recognize and React Positively to Uncertainty” which few licensed Planners know about or have been able to adequately explain Which caused an issue in my Masters thesis when I asked “under what conditions do we have a responsibility to unwind a city?”

Best film adaptation of The Odyssey, wrong answers only

So delighted to find out Space Jam, the hit movie that made you “c‘mon and slam” is celebrating its 30th anniversary Wow I love feeling old. 😭😭😭

I can’t believe anyone GenX or Boomer criticizes GenZ/Millennials doomscrolling when CP24 is a thing “How do you like to ingest current events?” “The superior way, from the ALL AT ONCE GRIDDED SLOP DISPENSER”

Vacuums are power tools, but I feel like y’all ain’t ready for that conversation

Not the flex he thinks it is. 9 out of 10 women would pick the bear.

Steampunk this, cyberpunk that, solar punk blah blah blah Why no gastropunk? Where the countercultural lowlifes are insufferable food snobs? Everyone else just eats their bugs and slop?

He’s running (to play chubby bunny with tier 1 candidates)

Dungeons and Dragons is just a zoning by-law for your, and your table neighbours, imagination I will not be taking questions at this time.

Canada is a resource and talent rich nation. A SWF is long-overdue. We have some of the planet’s most formidable institutional investors (there’s an entire Billions episode about how terrifying OTPP is) Excellent leverage for shared prosperity

I love that how Americans chant reflects how big their Latinx population is, “¡You Ese!” Roughly translates to “my brother, my dude”

Condon, known for founding the school of Aesthetic and Economic NIMBYism, has thoughts.

Just one more.

Wild that there was a shooter at an event full of press but not a single photo or leak.

This is completely awful And the FIFA Fan Festival isn’t even free anymore The Toronto taxpayer is massively subsidizing non-free events, losing our own free events, and the City doesn’t really seem to care Should be more of a scandal www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

City of Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation barbecues are exclusively for Neighbourhoods residents Apartment people shouldn’t be using them as they were drawn out of the BBQ booking maps. This is why the Tall Building Design Guidelines require amenity barbecues at a rate of 2 + 0.07 per unit.

I would actually like to find one of these I can put a fireplace loop on the small tv

Guy almost hits me in the mall parking lot and yells at me “I didn’t even see you” Bro… you should lose your license if that’s the case

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Nemesis System but for people who take the last bikeshare bike

One of the best things millennials did was kill voicemail I don’t know why we then normalized voice notes, the most toxic form of communication.

When gas taxes are cancelled but bike taxes are maintained does that mean BIKES ARE NOW SUBSIDIZING CARS EVEN MORE? Why are you using OUR roads that WE pay for freeloader?

“Why would anyone sell corners?”

That’s right anon! If you keep a microfibre towel in your coat pocket or backpack you’ll have a dry bikeshare seat every time, guaranteed!

“Rather than celebrating speed, endurance, or adventure, the film positions the bicycle within a far more consequential framework: as a tool of economic independence and a means of reclaiming agency in a system defined by debt & consumption.” @momentummag.bsky.social momentummag.com/the-bicycle-...

Imagine if fireflies in the night sky were like shooting stars.

Smell like an Italian plumber

It’s weird how they don’t discount flights on the agreement your in-flight entertainment system will just be 100% ads. I’d take that deal in a heartbeat.

Anyways, here’s a lesson we were taught very early on in construction

People keep asking me questions about my “definitely not involved with Jeffrey Epstein” t-shirt that are already answered BY MY T-SHIRT. This needs to end TODAY.

People will really go on the internet and say anything. The only place where this happens is in Magic School Bus season 4 episode 13, “Gets Swamped” where based YIMBY Carlos wants the mall until he visits the swamp ecosystem that it would replace

I just got a YouTube ad from the City of Toronto about the new carbon monoxide rules What the issue in the below screenshot? Well that’s not a CO alarm and CO alarms shouldn’t be ceiling mounted. They should be near the ground. CO gas builds UP! Who the heck made this??

Ergo, once again the rest of the world is forced to subsidize American “exceptionalism”

Dow Jones closes down 11 points as Apocalypse destroys all life on Earth

Marketing it as Air Fryer was genius It is an easy bake oven for adults…

Notable Development Charges expert, Ron “Angry Mortgage” Butler Why does media keep platforming these people?

“more homes better faster act” - tweaks around the margins “An act to integrate transportation fares and amend other acts” - one of the single largest changes in Planning in a generation
