Every review I've seen basically makes it clear this is a nostalgia play for 40-55 year olds, but kids would certainly be bored to tears for at least half of it. What a catastrophic misplay. I would take my kids (7 & 4) if I thought they wouldn't be begging to leave after an hour!

What grinds my gears when taking a 2 ton box to a new place, is when 100% of the places to put it are reserved as ample free temporary parking for people who live nearby and there is not even an option to pay someone for an overnight spot

What if we had planning policy that doesn’t treat people as pollution but does treat cars as pollution

My 7 year old has taken up Blue Prince, and I've gotten back into reading full spoilers on the wiki. Fun world building!

What a guy

Here’s my story on the “Mexican Barrio” in the Downtown Eastside, and how it relates (and doesn’t) to the World Cup. thank you to producers who allowed me to say “trying to make fetch happen” on the national broadcaster

"What were the life expectancy and infant mortality rates?" seems like a good one to start with...

Finally Atwood's opposition to city-building is aimed in the correct direction

Doing a big dumb UFC fight on the White House lawn is actually pretty fun. Not every event needs to be boring WASP-approved. But this stage design sucks; its clearly only intended for the TV audience because unless you are in the arena you can't see the White House at all!

Some heroes don't wear capes

The sanctity of the neighborhood character must not be disturbed

Sometimes, you stop where you are going because something unique has stumbled into your life.

Toronto zoning is set up to cannibalize existing apartments and noteworthy main street retail. The forces of capitalism have a part to play in this, but we've also set up all the rules of the system to produce this exact outcome.

This post has got me vigid

In case you wondered how they got that lady's car off the tracks.

"Jesus appeared in my toast" levels here Also what the hell is this red triangle thing I have never heard of before? *looks it up* Ugh of course, it's Palestinean, and therefore has been smeared by the pro-genocide lobby.

I have not personally done this, but a co-worker of mine does, and sometimes the AI goes goes beyond "simple language" and leans hard into the caveman role play.

The law banning discrimination with regards to age unfortunately discriminates with regards to age

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

Another wildly disoriented map. Someone on @urbantoronto.bsky.social suggested this could be AI hallucination and I think they may be right.

This map is fascinating.

"why is no one coming to our city/downtown?" politicians & policymakers while they make enemies of the push cart auntie who dares sell elotes at a subway station, the quiet cafe that dares exist on a residential street, and food vendors with signs that dare to be vibrant and attractive

On one hand we need at least one of these jokers or SpaceX to build a working moon lander before Artemis III and IV, but on the other hand I'm a longtime connoisseur of launchpad explosion videos and that business has never been better

I was on John Moore's radio show this morning to discuss how generative AI is accelerating the spread of misinformation in the municipal election space. To celebrate, I'm releasing an innovative Another Glass Box original product FOR FREE: the analog AI influencer.

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

Crews managed to drag the train back onto the tracks after a lengthy process of ridgidizing some of the modules together with links. #WRLRT

Another video of the train being pulled back onto the track, past the truck.

Uh, is this a new record for the wildest ION collision?

Update on the current state of "retro"

What a man. A dragon-man.

I swung by with the kids at about 2:30pm and the line was very long and exposed to the terrible weather (though covered). So... maybe we'll try tomorrow first thing

Jesus Christ. 36 years ago next week. globalnews.ca/news/2721699...

Oh man I was so happy when I brought one of these home.

What a new work experience! Today I biked to the Bloor GO (would've been easier had Ford not intentionally & at extra cost delayed the Davenport Diamond greenway), worked on the train ride, at Kitchener's main library branch, & biked 12km visiting new housing. Even beat driving colleagues back to TO

The "Reputable Online Retailer pivot into becoming a front-end for 3rd party retailers of questionable legitimacy, stability, and trustworthiness" is enshittification at its finest
