You don't know what day it is. You're eating countless meals a day with lots of snacks in between. You're napping throughout they day. Either it's the time between Christmas and New Year or you're a cat.

Did you know the TTC used to have zoned fares, and that you can still see a few traces of them? My next video talks about them. The trailer is available now, and the live premiere of the full video is Sunday evening at 7 EST (0h00 UTC). youtu.be/G5RR-QXV6DA

Happy Boxing Day!

How many more times does the Pope have to say this sort of thing before JD Vance converts back to whatever he was before he became Catholic?

Today in the town of David a saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Despite frequent remonstrations from digital archivists, Persephone never accepted that she could not photocopy a whole book in one go.

Apparently Siberia has an orchestra that's entirely made up of trans people 🙃

Manger car is judging you.

For those who see Brad Bradford’s TTC refund policy and think, “That might be a good idea.”, consider that this one delivery truck has been holding up a streetcar for at least 5 minutes. Bradford would punish the TTC and do nothing to the driver.

If The Carpenters did that Mariah Carey song: All I Want For Christmas Is Glue

Does this put Santa on the nice list or the naughty list?

In 1984, with the Leafs in a major slump, the Toronto Star ran a Cruel Maple Leafs joke contest to win tickets to a game. I think my favourite entry was "I don't want to enter the joke contest because I'm afraid I might win the tickets."

I think more manosphere influencers should get into professional boxing

From the Metro Toronto Planning Board's 1959 draft Official Plan (voted down by Metro Council). You could not say something this obvious in Toronto's Official Plan anymore.

All different forms? "Choose the form of the Destructor."

You know weed has become a mainstream thing when someone includes edibles in the office Christmas gift exchange and nobody bats an eyelash.

Do they also have Oatmeal Bloods for those of a different gang affiliation?

oh hey, ghost of transit past, what's the xmas moral I'm supposed to learn here?

Why did most Canadian railroads use that gauge in the middle of the 19th century? I mention the reason in this video: youtu.be/eBtREVkhfyM

Now a pizza company is publicly calling out #Toronto ‘s long-delayed “rapid” transit lines for slow delivery. (A+ trolling, by the way)

My final home recording of 2025 is my cover of Maybe This Christmas by acclaimed Canadian songwriter @ronsexsmith.bsky.social - I hope you like it! ipoint.to/MTC

In my letter to the Mayor and my Councillor about fixing Line 6 (and Line 5), I quoted a saying: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few - or the one. Logical. 🖖

-Comrade President, one our submarines has sunk -I am told this is what they are supposed to do -Yes, Comrade President. But there is a nuance.

In 2021 The City exempted the Finch LRT from the 50 km/h speed limit (allowing it to go 60), citing the importance of short round trip times. Unfortunately the TTC later enacted 25 km/h intersection speed limits, making 60 km/h unattainable between signals anyway. www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis...

How ironic that some of the service interruptions were caused by "overspeed" on a line that's 18 minutes slower than a human on foot.

Congratulations to Doug Ford, Olivia Chow, Metrolinx and the TTC for making transit even slower than people. @mayoroliviachow.ca #topoli #onpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Q: how can we make the street below safer for people outside of cars? toronto transportation services: 💡 force the LRT to operate 20 km/h slower than the adjacent traffic! vision zero! 🥰

With the right combination of elements from the periodic table, you can create periodic acid.

I feel as though there should be a law that says if Pierre Poilievre gets defenestrated as CPC leader in January then he has to move to Battle River—Crowfoot and live there until the next election because I think this would teach everyone involved an invaluable lesson about shenanigans.

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

Just realized that the 50km end to end travel time of the Montreal REM is the same as the 10km end to end travel time of Toronto's Finch W Tramway (55 min).

Not everything needs a Spotify-style year-end review. Yeah, I said it.

Tell me this isn't a Metrolinx project without saying this isn't a Metrolinx project.

At what point did being completely wrong start counting as an “opinion”? Claiming vaccines cause autism isn’t an opinion. It’s utter bullshit. And then they say, “Well, that’s my opinion, you have to respect it.” No. I don’t have to respect stupidity. Fuck off.

There are two players named Dakota in North American professional men's hockey (NHL, AHL, ECHL). Both play for the Leafs. Which one is North and which one is South?

The San Jose Sharks have a player named Will Smith. I wonder if he had a good slapshot.

How can we use climate targets to require MPs take the train for all trips between Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal? It wouldn't take long for that to produce fruit in improvements to VIA.

Any site that has "log in" and "create account" buttons on the same page should make the former much more prominent than the latter. You create your account once; you log into it multiple times.

Two days later, the opening of Line 6 Finch West demonstrated that it would be wise to take a bit more time to get things right before opening.

This is across the street from where I grew up. Adele Court was on my Brampton Daily Times paper route. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/loca...

Finally - someone is working on the biggest problem in international relations 😆

Bad news: Line 6 sucks (for now). Good news: this mess is the catalyst that may finally get the City to speed up the streetcar lines. (I say "may" because I won't fully believe it until it actually happens.)
