Upcoming Metrolinx board meeting confirms that December 7 is the planned opening date Note that the line was handed over to the TTC on November 12, and the TTC decides when to open it, not Metrolinx.

As bad as your week has been, at least you didn't *accidentally invade your neighbour.*

The dullest man in Japan can be your lineup's least flashy power bat.

I gotta get to a game before Roh gets posted. Hanwha is building something special!

Oh, wow. Four pitchers (including two with NPB experience) combined to throw a no-hitter for the Mid-East Falcons against the Karachi Monarchs today in Baseball United.

This is a really great thread

here is an insane thing I have learned: it appears that nobody has any real idea of how much actual, functional GPU capacity exists. Not "in progress," not "set to come online," I mean actual functional in-use capacity.

Read the whole thing, it's grimly clarifying

Once he's done with the T, can he come up to Toronto to clean up Rick Leary's *other* mess?

@fallenlights.net was kind enough to share this with me, and thus, I spread the wealth.

This may be the best thing ive read yet on AI in higher ed, and its written by a Yale undergrad. Highly recommend.

Lowkey the worst part about losing to this particular Dodgers team is that a lot of their players are actually pretty likeable.

A reader kindly and gently reminded me that I had somehow forgotten Etobicoke-Lakeshore, which also took much more than its share. Mea maxima culpa. I would note that this makes the point even stronger. Four of Toronto’s 25 wards took a stunning 95.5pc of the city’s growth from census 2016 to 2021

I bet you Sam Altman, Satya Nadella, Jensen Huang, Dario Amodei, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sundar Pichai don't have to talk to the chatbots they're pushing on us when THEY call customer support.

There's baseball on YouTube again - this time it's Karachi Monarchs vs Mumbai Cobras from Dubai. www.youtube.com/live/2mPlwe0...

Yooooo got a nice surprise last night and got a lil fanart by Dorgarica on Deviantart! https://www.deviantart.com/dorgarica I'm a post this ERRYWHERE. (A remake of a panel https://globalcomix.com/c/super-mario-adventures-continued-a-fan-comic- ) #smac #fanart

There should be a wealth cap, like how MMORPGs have a level cap. You get to a billion US dollars, you get a little card that says you beat capitalism, and your estate goes to the government for redistribution when you die.

This will not be news to regular readers, but it's worth noting whenever Toronto council debates housing (or transportation or neighbourhood amenities) that just three of the 25 wards absorbed three-quarters of the city's population growth between 2016 and 2021

He doesn't speak the language so I can't blame him, but Paul Skenes wrote his name wrong for these cards... He wrote スケネス instead of スキーンズ. www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported. www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Gadzooks, this is a good read.

The "Tungsten Arm O'Doyle" guy is better at this journalism thing than most of the US mass media.

so this is how they're going to buy the entire npb free agent market.

D&D. Trivia. Pool. Super Smash Bros. You know, all the stuff Millennials did as teenagers.

Wow! I am currently experiencing serious underwater-seismometer-envy. This is so cool.

Okay, *now* my podcast buddy has reason to be nervous about the Lions rotation next season.

I was there! Good group of baseball knowers and lovers.

"I'm in this photo and I don't like it"

Sean Marshall has a trio of articles about the appalling planning behind new GO (oops, no, SmartTrack) stations in the works. ST is John Tory's legacy poisoning Toronto's transit planning for years when more sensible alternatives were available. But Metrolinx is happy to waste the City's money.

Did the top text load all the way at the bottom of the page for anyone else? Tried on Firefox and Edge.

This is fucking brilliant, and you should read it: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

A friend recently texted me the same thing. “Do you really not use ChatGPT?!” It was a sign of where we are culturally on this. People are compelled to use it but also starting to question the normalcy?

Cool. www.thestar.com/sports/blue-...

Oh that's why the company is looking for federal backstop funds. Subscribe to Ed, folks.

Yep. Members of congress should not be able to trade stocks. I had no idea there was a tracking app so folks could mirror their portfolio after hers. Hilarious. Pelosi return 816%, S&P 500 229%

A rundown of the offseason so far is the subject of today's PACast. Go listen on YouTube here: youtu.be/DOhy-97nECs?... #NPB #PacificLeague

I strongly encourage you to indulge Matt. This is a great thread.

The Seibu Lions will allow pitcher Kona Takahashi to move to MLB via the posting system this offseason. He had a 3.04 ERA in 148 innings in 2025. Takahashi has a 3.39 ERA in 1,199 career NPB innings. www.seibulions.jp/news/detail/...

NEED CONFIRMATION MORE THAN ARSON JUDGE TO GIANTS GUY BUT YESSS

I'd also be remiss not to mention @depstein1983.bsky.social's Requiem for a Team for Toronto, which I thought had a terrific concept, well executed:

Reminder to baseball fans: it's not your money. You gain nothing by your team cutting salary every year and attempting to get the sixth wild card by the slimmest margin possible. You don't have to defend these people, who are pocketing $$$ in real estate deals while using the other hand to cry poor.

Ooooh that could be a fun signing for an MLB club (please don't go to SoftBank, they have enough pitchers)

You can, in fact, go home again open.substack.com/pub/fairserv...

Good morning! Time to get back into it. And #ICYMI yesterday

They say baseball breaks your heart, and the Blue Jays are a Hall of Fame what if team, now. So what does it mean to watch your team lose the World Series in one of the greatest games ever played? It means you got to feel something; you just didn’t get to choose what. www.thestar.com/sports/blue-...
