CA announced a new Total War game, Medieval III. It is in early pre-production (what does it even mean?!). Prob years away from release. So much hype, no substance.

trump (some time ago): Canada is responsible for fentanyl trafficking. Canada (now):

Cycling and Pedestrian Projects is now on Bluesky! Follow us on this account for all the latest news and updates about new bikeways and sidewalks projects in Toronto. #BikeTO #WalkTO

All the "I hate America" jokes and genuine sentiment, aside. "Trump/Hegseth/Vance/Witkoff/{inser_name}/current administration will be prosecuted for the crimes" talk that deliberately avoids call to action or any specific details, such as who and how is going to do this, has 100% ru-lib enegry.

This ambulance *zoomed*, unimpeded, down the “red carpet” on Bathurst today. Good to see. There can be benefits of transit priority that extend beyond transit.

It is only when you move you realise owning stuff is a pain. For a while I will be on my “why do we need this shit” for every new item.

This is why having CanadaPost is important. Also fuck FedEx. Fed should shutdown them.

“WASHINGTON—Citing that a majority of Americans are irresponsible, easily distracted people who have little regard for other human beings, a new Dept of Transportation report revealed that it’s ‘actually kind of crazy’ that U.S. citizens are allowed to drive automobiles.” The Onion strikes again.

“I have tickets to work on, therefore I am” - René Descartes if he lived in 2025

Almost every episode pf PBS American Revolution documentary: "But first, before Washington could move the army, he needed to find a way to pay his men".

My compliments to the gf will never be more valuable than *checks notes* compliments given by any random girl.

I think it is a useless cry but people should learn how to step out of the bus/subway to let others out and then step back in. Makes life easier for everyone. But most people do not comprehend that stepping out is a possibility.

The #TTC has already started advertising for Line 6 per this poster I saw at Spadina station this morning. #TOpoli

I disabled my Cloudflare worker yesterday and now Cloudflare is down. Sorry fam. My bad

It seems there is an interest in a new PBS documentary on American Revolution here. I decided to watch it as well. If you are outside of US, you will need to use VPN server in US to watch. The documentary is free but doesn’t play outside of US. Enjoy

World-wide outrage, anyone? #Ukraine #UkrainianView

Malcolm Nance said these sound like the titles of porn movies.

😃 Yeah a lot of Polish literature is either: 1) those fucking Russians 2) those fucking Germans 3) I miss Poland so much because of those fucking Russians and Germans

It's that time of year, bad first person shooters are coming out. And friends don't let friends violate sanctions on the Russian Federation. www.offensive-bias.com/p/escape-fro...

I think people exaggerate the issue of companies not replying to job applications. I just got a reply… Two years later.

Just realised I can use sqlglot library in Python in Mojo lang. Meaning sqlglot will parse SQL, optimize and produce an execution plan and I will just need to focus on Mojo based engine. I can write a lexer and parser in Mojo later. Optimisations are especially hard. #Python #Mojo

People complain about CanadaPost but they actually deliver stuff. You know who doesn’t?FedEx. The worst delivery company I know. They don’t even try. If you lucky to be there when they arrive (no notice) and beg them for a few minutes they might deliver your item.

It's not always the Russians but man is it weird how often it's the Russians

Car brand BYD's new SUV ad pokes fun at people walking and cycling, comparing them to Horse & Carts. It joins a long list of car ads that sell a false promise of convenience and aspiration while punching down at sustainable transport modes. So I made it a bit more realistic...

why via rail is so expensive?! like getting to Montreal from Toronto costs two people 700CAD+. How?!

Harbord cyclists beware: in the new lanes some sewer grates have been put in the death position by contractors. This @ Manning just ate my tire but luckily was coming to a stop. Jarring still. At speed I’d be over the handlebars. There were others along way.

One of the huge perks of working at a software company is, when there's something about the product that bothers you personally, you can get your hands dirty and find out why it's basically impossible to get fixed

Yes, indeed #BikeFriendlyPlanet theconversation.com/cyclists-may...

Finally RTL-SDR Blog v4 with a basic dipole antenna arrived! If things go well today, I might receiving some radio signals for the first time ever. Biggest worry is concrete jungle surrounding me. But at least I expect some aircraft pings.

Datasette 1.0a20 is out, with an entirely new SQL-powered permissions system. This is by far the most ambitious project I've attempted with the help of coding agents (Claude Code and Codex CLI) - notes on how it works and what I learned along the way: simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/4/d...

Coming tomorrow on @pragmaticengineer.com - with Chris Lattner!

Despite losing, this was a great game. It was the first baseball game I followed. My gf explained rules and eventually I got a basic understanding of it and could enjoy. Beyond the game, it felt great how united Toronto was.

Man, being VP and publicly saying you want your Hindu wife to convert is so disrespectful

Ordinary russians are doing this. This not "just putin's war". By extension all russians are guilty and responsible for those crimes. youtu.be/rHQT6SM3-90?... #Ukraine #UkrainianView

top notch humour from "This Hour Has 22 minutes" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA-g... Once US border asked me "where I got money for the ticket" (wan't even my first visit to US at that point). Bizarre country I am not visiting any time soon (or ever).

Reversing course on decades of political inertia is very difficult and risky. Passively continuing on the course of integration with the US is the ‘nobody ever got fired for buying IBM’ of Canadian politics

I see so many ostensible progressives or liberals "joke" about how Canada has no real culture but they're a brotherly people so making them part of the US would be a net positive for them which is identical to the justifications that Russians use for genociding Ukrainians

An ambulance glides through the midtown rush hour traffic thanks to the 6th Ave bike lane

With US carmakers pulling back to the US and Trump once again saying he’s cutting off negotiations with Canada, it seems pretty clear what Mark Carney should be doing: taking a meeting with BYD and other Chinese automakers to see if they want to build in Canada in exchange for lower tariffs.

The Ford government has announced plans to shred a bunch of tenant protections: news.ontario.ca/assets/files... (pdf, see p. 13-15)

Trump ends trade talks with Canada, resumes trade talks with Canada, ends trade talks with Canada, demands to know which European country is Canada

If you're a renter in Ontario, you should know Doug Ford is trying to make it easier for your landlord to raise your rent or end your tenancy. #HamOnt #OnPoli acorncanada.org/news/doug-fo...

Hardline cable - it is very opinionated cable #ham #radio

Part about "not listening to allies" sounds like Metrolinx not listening to Deutsche Bahn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=86zB...

Great video by 3rd SAB of Ukrainian Armed Forces about their large scale usage of unmanned ground vehicles (UGV). A few points: - 80% of logistic is done via UGV; - a lot of foreign systems fail the brigade's field tests; - UGVs are used for casualty extraction, mobile bombs, etc;

Amplify the report, please. #Ukraine #UkrainianView

Whenever I talk to people about bike lanes, I try to mention that they can also be used by ambulances. So far none of them knew this fact. All were surprised.
