MYTHOS is so powerful that it must be protected by strict guardrails that prevent anyone from ever learning whether or not it's actually powerful at all

In 2018 we built the Fruit Trees of Toronto map. Its been the most popular page on @maptodotca.bsky.social. I rebuilt it from scratch: svelteJS, maplibre, protomaps and 2026 data. Explore by species, location and ripening month. www.mapto.ca/maps/2026/6/... #maps #toronto #opendata

Another fun one for @spacing.bsky.social I used @torontoopendata.cityof.toronto.ca, scraped school facilities data and looked online at larger facilities to create a map of pitches across the city. This is for a special issue of Spacing Magazine on Toronto Soccer. #maps #mapping #gis #toronto

"Parkdale has been called a suburb, a slum, a ghetto, a village. Each label has carried consequences... justified a different kind of intervention. From regulation to clearance to revitalization, every era produced a group powerful enough to define what Parkdale was and to act on that definition."

i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this

Looking for development activity data in Toronto? The Development Pipeline Dashboard is an interactive tool that lets people explore development activity across the city. The dashboard highlights the number of projects, residential units, residential and non‑residential space.

It’s been a half-century since the OPEC oil crisis. Good thing the west has spent that time engineering smaller cars, developing renewables and working aggressively to reduce reliance on fossil fuels www.wsj.com/world/middle...

I do appreciate that this administration is too incompetent to manufacture even the thinnest pretext for this, so we don't have to relive that 2002-2003 run when opposing an obviously idiotic war basically made you feel like the one sane person in a Twilight Zone episode.

Add Palmerston to the list of places that need a good Le Corbusiering. Next to the Annex, Cabbagetown and mid-etobicoke. The more righteous and self-proclaimed-special, the more hot towers go in.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

Playing with elevation data in #Blender. This is the #Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) boundary which includes all of the watersheds that converge in Toronto. Going to try draping some orthophotos and land cover data over this. Other ideas? #Maps #Mapping #GIS #3D #dataviz

The Eglinton cover section, meanwhile, features Cheryl Thompson and @johnlorinc.bsky.social on the Golden Mile, a map of Eglinton density by @tdubolyou.bsky.social (slice below), and pieces by @theurbangeog.bsky.social, Todd Harrison, and more ranging from east to west.

The tragedy of this province is that we have all the things conceivably needed to be one of the greatest places to live on earth, but our governing class is relentlessly obsessed with mediocrity.

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

I want to stress again that California is not in a situation where it's gaining tech jobs at a slower rate than the rest of the country (like 2021/2022), but is outright losing tech jobs as the rest of the US gains Cali is down 75k tech jobs from peak & nearly 20k from pre-COVID

Imagining that the climate battle is about *information* -- that those who have good information will act; that those who aren't acting must be lacking information -- has been utterly disastrous for decades now, but advocates & pols can't seem to break out of it.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

I’m not sure he understands it’s quite helpful for the LPC when American Fascists mimic the rhetoric of our Conservative Party.

Increasingly find myself listening to @drfeifei.bsky.social as a source of credible (understatement!) and insightful info about AI. This episode of @lennysan.bsky.social’s podcast is a great example. open.spotify.com/episode/35Aa...

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

When the province took over the Toronto District School Board, it also took over the subsidiary that manages the TDSB’s $20 billion worth of land. As @wendyglauser.bsky.social‬ writes, critics fear repercussions not just for schools, but also for whole neighbourhoods. thelocal.to/tdsb-takeove...
