The 24 beers would be tough. But for $50 million, not that tough.

I spent a summer in London in 1989. Even back then, Oxford Street was jammed with pedestrians. This is great news.

Walkable neighbourhoods aren’t scary, they’re convenient. #UrbanTruth

I am officially no longer a Leafs fan.

“Euphemisms” / censorship avoidance pidgins are a deeply human phenomenon. They arise in response to a failure to enable and allow actual free speech, in response to architectures that are oppressive or enable vicarious oppression Put the blame where it belongs

When algorithms suppress discussion of SA, violence, etc, regardless of why those things are being discussed, and the platforms chalk it up to “we can’t afford human moderation at scale”, Whose fault is it for building the platforms “for humans” that can’t be managed for humans?

Zoomer TikTok Euphemism Speak isn’t the fault of the “kids” who have adopted it; it is the fault of the consent manufacturing politician class that has engineered social media platforms that censor important social voices on important issues in the name of “safety”.

Thinking of standing in the middle of Yonge Street and saying to the angry drivers, "I'll just be a minute, my wife is getting us Starbicks!"

Hey sometimes $100 million is the cost of finding out something was a dumb idea, even though everyone knew it was dumb.

I've lived long enough to realize that pickup truck owners are the most delicate flowers I have ever met.

Cultivated blueberries are bloated and overrated. Wild blueberries are sent from heaven.

Have thoughts on how to improve your bus/streetcar stop? Do you find that TTC stops often lack benches or shelters? The City is running a survey about transit shelters, benches, trash bins and more. Let them know what you think! ⬇️ ca.mar.medallia.com/StreetFurnit...

I always like to tell people about when my childhood friend said, "Church would be pretty cool if it wasn't for all the God stuff."

Who's having the hissy fit?

This is how I feel when I hear the term "AI prompt engineering."

The thing is we were primed to expect free information. We provided the eyeballs, advertising provided the dollars to reach us. The internet destroyed that model

Wheelchair users. But really anyone with mobility issues. And honestly, everyone deserves clear sidewalks.

X has outlived its usefulness and is a publisher of criminal materials. I honestly don't get how organizations, including our own federal government, can justify remaining on that site.

It is the weirdest thing that everybody seems to know that we're in an AI bubble that is going to burst and take the entire economy down with it and most of us are just shrugging. Or, if you're a LinkedIn regular, cheerleading as the bubble stretches to its breaking point.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

No.

Haarlem is my favourite city of any I have visited. Lively but calmer than Amsterdam, which is also amazing. Beautiful architecture. Typical Dutch canals. Town squares. And yes, fantastic bike infrastructure. But the best thing is how quiet it is compared to other cities - fewer cars = less noise!

Meanwhile, we have a minister in Canada tasked with bringing in more pointless energy-hogging data centres

This is from a few months ago, but we really can't pretend that ideas from the odious U.S. government won't be tried here. from @thetyee.ca Build Canada Is Not DOGE, Says Spokesperson via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/04...

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Where are the politicians in Minneapolis? They should be out there. At least giving coffee to observers and protestors. Better yet, put your body on the line the way regular people are.

All we want is to be able to ride around the city safely, but the city's hands are tied by the province. Again.

I think the problem isn't Christianity per se as much as Christian nationalism and - unpopular opinion - evangelicalism.

I think I knew this, but now I have first-hand evidence: flour is flammable

How is it still allowed in the app store even.

I honestly don't know how our politicians, journalists and businesses still justify being on X. disconnect.blog/elon-musks-x... from @parismarx.com

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Wrote to my Toronto councillor today requesting he leave that horrible website

The Content Marketing Institute is describing an average weekday

Imagine ever thinking even six years ago that we would be sending troops to defend against the U.S.

Doug Ford's feelings don't care about facts.

Utterly useless stupid minister of an utterly useless stupid ministry.

Yeah this is a problem everywhere today. The people delivering the service with not enough resources get abused for policies made elsewhere

Dear friends, if you have come here from X, welcome. If you haven't deleted your account yet, please tell others that it is time to leave.

And make Musk accountable. Any other person owning a site that allowed.this openly would be arrested by now.

One of the weirdest things in the world to me is loving your country. How do you love a country?

Ban CEOs. Seriously. They drain value from organizations.

The tech world will take everything. Except responsibility

And they still don't have a readable sign that tells you when the next train will come

LOL "Rich people" had cars like this where I grew up. I remember my skin sticking to the vinyl seats in any car I rode in!

Things that don't need to be connected to the internet, part 1: any household appliance.

Happy Boxing Day to all who celebrate! #leftoverstastebetter

And I really really don't want gen AI in my CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

Great news. Now to ensure we keep what we have.
