Nuremberg is about the famous trials, but it somehow also features Russell Crowe hamming it up as Hermann Goring. Not good! brieftake.com/nuremberg-re...

The final stage of homeownership isn't NIMBYism, it's saluting a house centipede with a "thank you for your service" before relocating it to the basement.

Watching James Rebhorn question Michael K. Williams in an episode of Law & Order. Absolutely electric lunch hour over here.

"You have a pessimism of the mind, but an optimism of the will."

Prior to 1959, retail units (like one that now contains a popular pizzeria) were allowed without major issue. Then we made rules to block them, and then some people spent a lot of time talking about "old Toronto" as if it was the natural way of things. Which old Toronto? When? Something to consider.

The Christmas Adventurers Club is down bad this morning.

Incredible scenes on CBC Radio this morning. "We're here to discuss the future of the Democratic Party, and to do that, here's David Frum."

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor

People you'd cross the street to avoid are really mad about the new mayor of NYC.

Jennifer Lawrence goes for it, and sure, good for her. But Die My Love is pretty disappointing otherwise. My Brief Take review is here: brieftake.com/die-my-love-...

Four (4) levels of underground parking in that building.

Funny that actual Halloween was Friday night and then out-of-towner Halloween was last night.

Applies for Game 7 as well.

VIBES

THAT'S BASEBALL JUSTICE

He's human after all!

All-plaid broadcast team locked in. Toronto in 7.

Waiting for Game 7, the day after Halloween

Got a bunch of new urbanism followers on here, but I will more than likely be posting about baseball for the next 24 hours. Please know: the Jays struggling to cash in with runners in scoring position in Game 6 last night is how I feel about Toronto right now. So close, and yet!

Toronto sports

"I could still pick winners, and I could still make money for all kinds of people back home. And why mess up a good thing? And that's that."

Looking at emails today

Incredible to mention these two specific businesses which are wildly popular -- and which have almost definitely helped contribute to an INCREASE in property values in the area.

Retail can now go on major streets.

Do you like Kiner-Falefa? Getting caught in the rain?

Kiner-Falefa at-bats a bit more enjoyable if you say his name with this cadence. youtu.be/967WmA-OXKM?...

Nearing 2800. I’m hoping to wake up to 3k. Tell all your friends that signing this will help the blue jays or something. I dunno.

John Smoltz talking about a "brown lower half jersey".

Fascinating to consider the long tailing outcomes of the "SmartTrack" proposal.

When people agree with the RA position, they are obviously correct and Toronto should do as they say (do nothing). When people taking the survey don't agree with the RA position, people must have been too stupid to understand the questions. So we must have more consultation (and do nothing).

What staying up for an 18-inning World Series game does to an mfer

Do not, under any circumstances, look at the old multi-unit building up the street at 532 Palmerston Boulevard.

He's human after all!

Bautista getting in trouble with the CRA got him doing Mary Brown's chicken commercials.

Unexpectedly fast.

In this time of political chaos, we must nationalize Valve and mandate the completion of the Half-Life narrative.

Do not enjoy Will Smith hitting anything on TV

I was saying Nohtani

[squinting at the TV over the bar] Is that the... Jonas Brothers?

When a Toronto sports team wins a surprising Game 1 against a more heralded opponent

Remember when they flew the Canadian flag upside down during the World Series?

💪💪💪💪

Sad to be missing this tonight. I have my issues with the plan (and have voiced them) but it's still pretty cool that Toronto has a new island and neighbourhood to build.

More fun developments from our provincial government designed to annihilate even the concept of human dignity.
