Curious how Canada is doing, since girls have been getting the HPV vaccine now for years as well.

I visited the Tate Modern

Pedestrian struck by motorist on Parkside a block from the speed camera that vigilantes kept tearing down that caused ford to remove them from all Ontario. Drive as you wish Ontario. Nobody matters. This is what you voted for.

Listen, if “big and obnoxious” was all it took to get the job done, then Doug Ford would be the best Premier in Ontario’s history.

Every 19th/20th century industry you can think of is getting subsidies.

And I am in England. It’s been a little while. I don’t have a 9AM meeting, so don’t know why I picked this weirdly early red eye. 4 hours away from a pint?

The new location update on X revealed what we've all kinda known all along: Republicans have been astroturfing themselves. www.garbageday.email/p/republican...

Congrats to Alex. I'm a big fan of the channel. I watched his videos to set up my own ProxMox instance at home. It's informative stuff whether you're interested in Tailscale or not.

So much land. So much valuable land now in the hands of a government that has been trying to sell off the greenbelt, provincial parks and Ontario place. It is not conspiratorial. It's recent history.

Feds now claim a "system crash" that happened immediately after ICE was sued is the reason why 10 days of footage from inside the Broadview Detention Center has been lost. Unreal hearing on this earlier: www.404media.co/ice-says-cri...

Spooky Ruben playing at Lee’s Palace 30 years ago. Amazing.

good for her; we should be channeling this energy more

This story is pretty horrific. It's wild this stuff is so unregulated, that people these sorts of products don't result in criminal charges.

Well that sounds like a good news story.

My @thestar.com column this week: A third-party review says Toronto’s streetcars are among the slowest in the world. But they don’t have to be. Maintenace improvements, operational changes and a little political will could really speed things up. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

The sort of thing you’d think would be investments, instead of more oil & gas development and chasing the AI bubble.

This song is pretty fucking great.

Holy shit: Alison Mack interviewed on Michael Rosenbaum's podcast. I haven't listened this yet. I assume it'll be bananas.

New from @sheilawang.bsky.social + me, with @icij.org, @lapresse.ca + @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social. A surge of unregistered firms are allowing Toronto crypto users to anonymously cash out big sums in violation of anti-money laundering law. Sheila tested it undercover: www.thestar.com/news/investi...

Sports betting should be illegal. It’s ruining sports, people’s lives, everything. Just the fucking worst.

Man Toronto can’t catch a break. What a season, though.

I think the referee has money on Vancouver. #afctoronto

Not sure if you can hear, but they are playing Thunderstruck. Game paused for thunder and lighting.

We scored our first goal. It’s the final game! #afctoronto

Pretty disappointing that Parthi is consistently on the wrong side of all these votes.

Unsurprising news, but it feels like things are getting closer and closer to coming to a head.

Generative AI is the first refuge of a scoundrel

This is the Canadian Premier League soccer finals and we have a bicycle kick goal in the middle of a blizzard … and that’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😂

Here’s an honest government ad for my Canadian friends. Enjoy. 🇨🇦

To quote Letterkenny: fucking embarrassing.

How Toronto killed Sesame Street. My column on the retreat from allowing shops in neighbourhoods & other watering down of good ideas. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

A long personal reflection on Filipa’s relationship with the now (often?) fraught Ruby on Rails community, its founder dhh, and what the future could be / should be. Good stuff, as usual.

So … they cancelled the AFC Toronto semi-finals. I bet we would have won, though.

The last decade of student activism—from trans rights and racial justice to student encampments in support of Palestine—has triggered a wave of conservative backlash not only in Ontario, but across Canada and the U.S. Now, that backlash is being enshrined in policy.

As plans for new regional rail stations advance, Toronto is reckoning once again with SmartTrack, a campaign promise that never really went away. But as details slowly emerge, Torontonians deserve transparency of how these new stations will actually work. seanmarshall.ca/2025/11/04/t...

There are no words for how evil this is

How much shit will Ontario continue to eat?

Always good to read a story that reminds you why you hate the SF tech scene. Dystopian. People burning their youth for money.

America in a single tweet

FYI this is what you do when your business is great and you are very liquid and creditworthy

Ten things I took away from one remarkable, history-making moment. Turn the volume up. www.anildash.com/2025/11/05/t...

Love to see the rich incinerate their money and get nothing for it.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

y'know, what i really need right now is a smug fuck who went to harvard to tell me that it's impossible to do anything more ambitious than an input tax credit, and that we can't tax rich people because it might hurt their feelings

A day that began with the news of Dick Cheney’s death ends with New York City electing its first Muslim mayor.

Everyone working so hard to make sure he didn’t win, and he crushed it. Nicely done NYC.

The framing of this is hilarious: Democrats deeply worried about the repercussions of a victory www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/m...

I don't think I've ever been so invested in a mayoral campaign for a city I don't live in.

The revenge of SmartTrack Metrolinx is looking to serve new Kitchener Line SmartTrack stations with its UP Express trains only. It's only fair that the transit agency comes clean to transit riders on how it will make this work.
