not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women

I randomly bought a few Hot Wheels at the grocery store 12 years ago and then earlier this evening my kid asks “hey dad, do you have any toy Eighty Sixes?” Boy did I have good news for her.

finally, we're living through precedented times

We had a good run

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

I’m watching Initial D for the first time, with my 14 year old. She doesn’t know a lot about cars and I don’t know anything about anime, so we’re helping each other through this.

In the running for most picturesque setting for a classic bus stop in Canada (the world?). Prove me wrong. Hopefully it will still be here on a day where the Olympic mountains are more clearly visible. #yyj #victoriabc #busstop

People will read old newspaper clippings

Yesterday, Tren Maya introduced its newest train, the Pa’tal, on a special run between Cancun and Mérida! 🚆 🇲🇽 These new units are made to run on long distances across the Yucatán Peninsula. Let’s take a closer look at them 👀

A few weeks ago, Hillside Mall had both a Santa and a Grinch for taking photos with. Santa had about a dozen families in line. The Grinch had probably *50*.

i'm stupid. put me in the ny times.

I'm pretty annoyed at the replies which are just people who skimmed the list and saw that their favorite Canadian thing wasn't on there and added it without actually looking at the list and thinking about it

This is neat. I’m going to see how easy/hard it is to make a version for Vancouver.

Important Heated Rivalry-ish news: Isabelle Puppa – daughter of Sabres legend Daren Puppa– is apparently on TikTok and has posted about the show and a related IRL story from her father. vt.tiktok.com/ZS52kFuxe/

Very sad to say it seems Mike Fossey, aka Mike F. has died. Truly one of the funniest posters of all time and a talented artisan. Had been friends online for many years, but I got to hang out a couple times at shows in Boston and he was funny and sweet in real life too.

Finally watching Heated Rivalry and I'm driving my wife insane as I try to determine the alternate universe team history. Montreal Metros. They can't be named after the subway system, if they're an original six style team. Unless the MLH is a newer league (maybe they evolved from the WHA?).

If Vince Guaraldi had known the actual A Charlie Brown Christmas assignment: "Compose iconic score that people will love forever," he could have been intimidated. Instead, "Write music for weird show CBS might not even air" probably freed him up to do his best work.

Electrify the Fraser Valley Subdivision you cowards.

Thinking about Them again

Weissand Effect

The last remaining BC Hydro paint scheme bus shelter still stands, as of 2:30 this afternoon.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

My response to anything over the next two weeks

95 RapidBus not very rapid on Goldstream. Bus only lane should be a no-brainer here, especially with the ROW next to the golf course. There’s not even sidewalks here.

sorry but if the bench beneath the awning isn’t dry when it’s raining then your shelter has failed in its primary task

One of those rare instances where this isn't as old as I thought it was. I thought for sure this was at least a decade old. My entire timeline for the franchise has been skewed by how much stuff has been pumped out in the Disney+ era.

The new shiny bus stops on the TCH below the Galloping Goose look nice, but who or what are they for? They seem really close to the stops immediately to the south. I can't imagine them closing the stops at Boleskine/Saanich.

You should be stealing at least $5 worth of food on every visit to the grocery store, it's better for your bank account.

Absolutely bonkers Connections today.

🇨🇳🗽 i finally got around to remaking the terrible subway map of my hometown beijing, this time in the style of vignelli! full image: ibb.co/album/tzt8H6

Like, seriously — HOPEFULLY this changes, but if this doesn’t, this is alarming — there’s potential for over 200mm of rain in 4 days next week. And this is for Victoria, not Vancouver. Vancouver is even worse. Making sure all tour drains remain clear, etc, is important for the next 2 weeks. #yyj

I just went on a tremendous adventure from confusion to excitement to disappointment in a few short seconds.

I also found a 1952 BCER map *and* timetable for Vancouver. A few streetcar and interurban lines remain. Interestingly, while the Richmond inset shows rail service to Steveston, the legend just below does not. New Westminster-Marpole service ends in 1952, so maybe someone removed the wrong route.

Found a tourist map of Victoria from around 1944-1948 (based on the streetcar removal timeline). "During the past year or more, the B.C. Electric transportation system has been gradually converted from street-cars to buses." The downtown map still shows the streetcar lines though.

It's opening day on the new Finch West LRT and things aren't looking great. It goes to show that project goals are key to what you get. In the CRD, we need to be thinking about the level and quality of service rather than vehicle type. 1/

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

I have been directly targeted

The promise: Subway for the cost of a streetcar The result: Streetcar for the cost of a subway

I managed to shuttle three adults, two kids, and an entire *team’s* worth of softball gear around with a Golf wagon. Though, fully loaded, the back end bottomed out on the loading ramp for the ferry.
