We'll always have the 2020 Game 3 bubble shot. 🥲

Dolan is SO mad right now.

OG Anunoby, an eternal figure of mirth and mystery.

Back rim on a critical shot by the Knicks, where have I seen that before....

I must admit, I'm rooting for the Knicks to win, but once again it is unfortunately hilarious to watch James Dolan try to wreck everything.

Seeing more and more evil Gwyneth Paltrow headlines these days. The entertainment world may be ready for my screenplay about Goop teaming up with eco-terrorists to take over the world (and corner the lifestyle brand market).

In Toronto, the overwhelming danger to people walking, riding and rolling, are drivers behind the wheel of cars and trucks of all shapes and sizes. I'm surprised that 'Priorizing the Safety of Vulnerable Road Users' wasn't the single most important aspect of this @theglobeandmail.com piece.

A core message from Toronto Liberal MPs is they will insist Toronto be consulted and their first attempt at it is a sham. This whole thing is such a mess. If they're burning inside about this it's time to speak out regardless of PMO blowback. Choose between the PMO or your constituents.

As someone who teaches the history of Toronto’s urban form, I think this might be the single worst decision in its 250-year evolution. Number two would be the railroads cutting off the city from the lake, but at least the railroads were useful.

Working on an archive project for my past council coverage and some of these old quotes from Councillor Brad Bradford are wild in retrospect. This was April 2022! Not that long ago!

Got a bonus churro yesterday on Dundas because I was the first guy to buy a churro from that stall. [Yoda meme] going back for more churro

About the University Avenue bike lanes, @lanrickbennett.bsky.social shows the evidence does not support the negative narrative some are peddling spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

Out wide tomorrow, it's Masters of the Universe, the He-Man movie that's really only for the true heads (derogatory). My review: brieftake.com/masters-of-t...

Happy Bike to Work Day, Toronto! The 2026 Toronto Cycling Maps are now available for free at the 311 info desk at City Hall, and will be in community centres and libraries this month. Learn more about cycling events taking place during Bike Month at bikemonth.ca.

"I mean, it's one downtown core, Michael. How many people could live there? A dozen?"

I know Tate's thing is rage bait videos, but I really can't get over his reaction here, as if the City is trying to pull something overnight on Portland Street with new cycling infrastructure.

Had a great team cooking, but got screwed by the final spin. I do NOT know the 1960s Bulls. www.82-0.com/share?id=20b...

Congrats to the two organizations in the NBA Finals. I don't remember which teams made it.

To me, Masters of the Universe recalls that bit in Fresh Prince when Will insists his dolls are "action figures!"

Traffic volume data trends tend to back this up. Peak hour congestion can still be rough, but car volumes are generally declining in Toronto.

The Insider 2, but it's directed by, like, Jay Roach.

Holding on to a red shell for more than a lap in Mario Kart

Reggie Miller on an incredible run of incorrect statements.

Me, waking up from a strange dream.

Not usually a petition guy, but @anotherglassbox.bsky.social countering the misinfo and rage of "IntegrityTO" is a worthwhile effort. Read on: c.org/gWbDXSbxSZ

introduce yourself with 10 bands you’ve seen live (more than once edition) Broken Social Scene Radiohead Beach House Grizzly Bear Caribou Death from Above 1979 Animal Collective Wilco Kurt Vile Battles

My favourite part of this? With or without the bike lane, car operations are exactly the same. Funny stuff.

We simply cannot have any large and unruly signage near Yonge and Dundas.

For a TV show, Not Suitable for Work is a pleasant enough distraction. My review of the first bunch of episodes: brieftake.com/not-suitable...

My @thestar.com column: City Hall has a “squeaky wheel” problem, where a small number of haters and complainers get outsized influence over city decisions. This summer, they’re likely to come for the Church Street pedestrianization project. Let’s not let them win. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Perfect headline, no notes. We are in hell. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Happy New Boards of Canada Album Day to all who celebrate.

Something to consider. Any business in Toronto may not last forever -- to build true cultural resilience we need the planning/approval framework to incentivize the creation of new spaces, whatever they may turn out to be.

Happy New Boards of Canada Album Day to all who celebrate.

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.

UGHHHH when will city councillors accept some of the blame here. Major streets zoning in Toronto means our commercial corridors are threatened with densification because we can only build there!!! If you let people build in million-dollar neighbourhoods instead we'd reduce development pressure!

Good morning (complimentary). www.welcometohellworld.com/they-want-us...

Sometimes at a Toronto trivia night, there's a little first place prize.

Too many quote posts in a row. No more riffing for the rest of the day.

Really, really, really important to hold this idea in your head.

Incredible to see this just as various levels of Canadian government invest more and more money in this direction.
