A San Francisco supervisor says that bricked Waymos slowed the fire department’s response to last weekend’s blackout. If this is true, it’s very damming.

It is a shame that Elon Musk can amass holdings worth over a trillion dollars and a little device implanted in his neck won’t combust killing him instantly

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

Holiday concerned about growth of trees, warns against forest of shadows

The existing intellectual property law isn’t working if building codes which buildings must by law abide are also privatized by legal force but all the art and writing which ever ended up on the internet can be used as an input by AI companies.

I don’t want to speak prematurely but I think 2026 might be one of the four hottest years of all time

I love the east end and especially the Danforth cause I can get to Bloor-Yonge in 20 minutes! www.thestar.com/news/gta/why...

If Yonge Street south of Davenport was open for pedestrian traffic it would never be reversed, be a boon for local business, make no difference in vehicular travel time, likely save lives and make Yonge St car traffic feel like a distant memory in months. It’s possible right now

Are we actually going back to the dark ages

World Series Blue Jays. The Blue Jays in the World Series.

No one good bumbles into success anymore

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Happy Rapture Everyone!

Would you call him a performative male

I wish his jammed up arteries would expand and **** ***

The bicycle is in the top 5 of the worlds greatest inventions

This weekend I wrote about Doug Ford’s plan to sell off a large chunk of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. Exactly the opposite of what should be happening: parkland expansion.

They should meet up

The famous INCO Superstack in Sudbury is slowly coming down.

Seeing people drink hot coffee today when it’s 30°+!!!

Cool study from @bikewaysto.bsky.social detailing a traffic count on Bloor Street taken on June 11 with a camera at 412 Bloor West. During the peak of the afternoon rush, bikes outnumbered cars. I repeat: bikes outnumbered cars. drive.google.com/file/d/1ctd4...

🇨🇦 Two-thirds (67%) of Canadians say that Canada should prioritize developing clean energy over fossil fuels while 70% support the inclusion of heat pumps and EV charging in new homes if costs are minimal, finds a new poll from Clean Energy Canada and Abacus Data. #cdnpoli #climateaction

I am not only queer, I am post queer and meta queer. I am in dialogue with human history.

I want to start hot gluing little blocks of wood together

In awe of his instincts

Once you’ve been to Ontario you’ll never stop wanting to beat Mike Harris to death with your bare hands.

This is #TorontoDanforth To say that I’m disappointed that the elected municipal rep has decided to place parking above prioritizing the lives of vulnerable road user would be an understatement. But I am not surprised. With that, it’s your move @mayoroliviachow.ca #BikeTO #VisionZero #TransformTO

Pride Month Fun Fact: Bisexual people are homosexual and heterosexual!

"Minimum Viable Product" might be the best unvoluntary embodiment of that side of Canadian culture which can be summarized in being "content with absolute mediocrity"

absolutely brutal reporting from @jackhauen.bsky.social about the collapse in ambition of GO rail expansion happening under this government www.thetrillium.ca/news/the-tri...

IKTR!

Notable back-and-forth between @lanrickbennett.bsky.social and Councillor Paula Fletcher here. Lanrick makes good argument for protected bike lanes on Jones Ave, as previously approved by council. Fletcher says that plan takes away too many parking spaces. beachmetro.com/2025/06/05/i...

This is how the wildfire smoke had me feeling

Canada is going to burn for the rest of my life

We need to start a movement in support of moderate speed rail all over Canada

Cities need to adopt congestion pricing ASAP if we don’t want this technology to be a massive VMT bomb.

Mark Your Calendars, Toronto: Sixplexes and multiplex updates at Planning and Housing Committee on June 12th. Multiplexes are one way to address declining populations in low-rise Neighbourhoods. See our new blog post! moreneighbours.ca/news/analysi... 🧵

Americans cannot turn off American Exceptionalism. Not every election in the world is a reaction to the 2024 US election.

An under-studied human behaviour is how much we love thinking about non human anthropomorphic animals

Right now, today, the broadly accepted urban planning best practice is to zone for apartments near wide, high-traffic streets that produce noise, air, and particulate pollution while reserving quiet side streets for detached single family homes.

Someone in my lifetime is going to talk about Toki Pona like Hitler talked about Esperanto

I support building a lot of housing. A lot of floor space in the city, a lot of ways to get around the city and between cities, a lot of parks in the city. A lot of people, a lot of diversity. But I don’t want, for example, an abundance of immigration and customs enforcement officers.

INSPIRATIONAL: This man gets to be a senator doing nothing at all! Quiet quitting win

Lots of discourse about the ~0.6% of the human genome which is different person to person. Most human diversity is probably not genetic. Let go of the mental model of evolution which promotes eugenics.

Some of you may disagree but this is the best possible political position

It seems that, conservatively, 98% of people cannot separate "I don't like that person" from "I disagree with that person's claim".

No no no. Toronto's needs a link people don't have to wait in line to get onto. Like. A. Bridge. A gondola is the same stupid problem as the ferry, but different! Whoever proposed the gondola should be given a rattle to amuse themselves with and be sent to the corner.
