La Mezquita? It's giving Blasphemous, it's giving Diablo II.

No bull fight today, just teens on a class trip.

In Sevilla, the structures are curvy... and the trees are square!

All in on the Alcazar.

Wow, so many Conservatives feeling comfortable in the governing Liberal party. Probably nothing to that.

Oops, went on a food tour but this was the only pic I took.

CHURCH STREET PEDESTRIANIZATION MOTION IS GOING TO COUNCIL! We need people to come speak at TEYCC (Toronto East York Community Council) on April 30 to support it, and for people to start contacting/emailing their councillors! We also have a petition coming out on Wednesday!

Easter Monday at Sagrada Familia.

Barcelona's La Rambla a mess right now, undergoing watermain replacement. A little taste of home.

Middle Life, starring the lead couple from July Talk, is a decent little throwback romantic comedy. My review: brieftake.com/middle-life-...

If the Ford government has any evidence showing that ripping out bike lanes is sound urban transportation policy and not just a political stunt fueling a culture war, we'd sure love to see it! (We're also still in limbo waiting on our FOI requests.)

re: minimum lot sizes in Toronto -- do we need this regulation? Doesn't reality itself provide this, e.g. propose too big a building on too small a lot and it's not actually feasible/desirable to build it?

Worried about my close personal friends at the Pitt.

Closing the laptop for the last time before vacation.

Hearing some reports: Besse Jrown.

Kristoffer Borgli's The Drama has drama -- but is that enough? In thinking about it, I say no. My review: brieftake.com/the-drama-kr...

Just saw someone spill coffee on a fellow streetcar passenger. April Fool's!

Fantasy Life, from writer-director-star Matthew Shear, turns out to be a wonderful and surprising showcase for Amanda Peet. My review: brieftake.com/fantasy-life...

I don't necessarily delight in trashing For Worse from writer, director, star Amy Landecker, but, well, it's not that good. My review: brieftake.com/for-worse-re...

Instead of watching the new film, get your kids watching the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, now on Hoopla (free streaming service).

Win, lose, or draw, Lewis dunking Mulcair in a toilet was enough for me. Let's go.

We can't let school sites in Toronto develop with apartment buildings on top. They did that 50 years ago and created some of the nicest, most livable areas of the city.

Enjoying the Dr. Robby prequel TV show (ER).

Ah yes. Rhoel Ong "The Toronto police sergeant involved in an incident with an elderly crossing guard in Markham while off-duty, is being identified by a former Occupy Toronto protester as a constable who had previously been investigated for misconduct."

Please note: Councillor Stephen Holyday is upset that private landowners will not be able to do what they want with the land they own.

Really funny piece about the semi-gated private community Wychwood Park in Toronto. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/rob...

Toronto downtown airport updates are too distressing to look at directly.

Just used a coupon for a discount on foodcourt soup

Omar El Akkad's novel American War is science fiction, so it's fair to brush off its future setting as impossible. But also, hmmm....

Also, the solution to your "problem" is literally passing you by.

Amarcord (1973)

We're thrilled to see transit experts lay out a plan to revolutionize the streetcars! When we held our Streetcar Summit, the most popular solutions among riders were effective signal priority, banning left turns, installing 2-point switches, & more. Experts & riders agree - let's get on with it!

No ICE in Toronto (because we have our own cops to hassle people for no reason)!

Unseen hands, hard at work.

Project Hail Mary goes big and is mostly pretty satisfying -- just don't think about it too much afterwards. My review: brieftake.com/project-hail...

Hmm. MX could increase the number of trains, which would add capacity while also making the service more useful. Or it could add capacity by removing the luggage racks and make it less useful Is this a tough call?

Am I going crazy or did I see a headline about Michaela Coel rebooting Bloodsport?
