Transport collectif | Sous pression, exo réduit ses investissements de 600 millions Sous pression financière, exo doit réduire drastiquement ses dépenses. Sur une période de dix ans, le budget du transporteur passera de 2,5 à 1,9 milliard. Le service restera intact, mais des projets ...

Le bilan de la CAQ en transport collectif est tout simplement honteux.
Les autoroutes peuvent s'élargir ou se prolonger, mais les trains, bus et métros doivent se serrer la ceinture.

Students, staff, faculty turning to ChatGPT? That means they are being asked to do things they don't have the time, resources, support, etc to do.

almost got run over by a student in their car while walking on campus this morning. Would look good on their CV : "Killed my prof by not looking left and right while exiting a parking lot". They saw me only when I ran to their car, slapped their window and screamed at them. They hit gas and ran away

LOL. No.

File photo shows demonstrators gathering in solidarity with journalists killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, at a protest organised by the Gaza Journalists Syndicate in Gaza City on August 26, 2025

Opinion: The Parti Québécois Has Become a Party of Cyberbullies under PSPP – The Rover Sources describe online harassment, threats and professional reprisals following their public disagreements with the PQ leader.

PSPP a appelé @titocurtis.bsky.social, un journaliste professionnel, sur son numéro personnel (que Chris ne lui a jamais donné, ils ne se sont jamais parlés avant) pour lui dire de retirer un tweet que le journaliste a écrit sur les politiques d'immigration du PQ.

yes the "impassable slab" (la dalle infranchissable) decried by the trash-radio we have here in Québec city (which will protect the rails from car incursion) will probably actually save us from a nightmare like the Toronto tram, along with streetlights favouring the tram.

The Québec tramway is supposed to do 19,3 km in 55 minutes. A chart of different modes (light rail, tram, skytrain, etc) and average speed in Canada would be nice

Saw a video where a travel influencer missed half the Christmas markets in Cologne because they relied on ChatGPT to tell them the opening dates and you know what, sometimes I let my very German schadenfreude run free.

Regent Street goes traffic-free for Christmas 'festive mile' The busy road is closed to traffic on Saturday for festive celebrations, shopping and a disco bus.

For the first time since 2020, Regent Street went car-free creating a lively, more vibrant space for festive shopping and entertainment.

Oui!

I knew all the dialogues (in French) “but of course I love him! What did you all think?”

Qu’est-ce que le spasme de vivre
À la douleur que j’ai, que j’ai.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Juste parce qu'il fait -15 celsius, un souvenir de cet été sur l'Ile aux Coudres.

Así es como se comunica que España no participará en Eurovision. Bravo RTVE. Bravo Silvia Intxaurrondo. Una vez más.

This is the way

Excited to co-organize with @weieli.bsky.social a symposium at SMBE 2026 on how synthetic & systems biology can illuminate the molecular mechanisms of evolution. Honored to have @christianlandry.bsky.social as invited speaker! Join us!

Apparemment qu’ils doivent “gagner le vote des femmes “. Bonne chance mon gars

Le PQ est tellement dégoûtant à tous les niveaux. Les rhétoriques de PSPP enrichissent la haine, la division, la peur et le harcèlement. C’en est similaire au Trumpisme. Jamais je n’aurais cru que ce soit le parti social-démocrate ouvert d’antan qui apporte ce style de politique ici…

Baby just tell me where Perry Menopause lives, I'll fix him good

So much of the real thinking is right there, in the editing and refining. Toni Morrison: “The revision for me is the exciting part; it's the part that I can't wait for—getting the whole dumb thing done so that I can do the real work, which is making it better and better and better."

I've been seeing people say about their work lately, "I used AI in the edits & refining of this piece, but it's all my own words & ideas."

I think people don't quite understand what "my own words" means. If you're using AI, the words are not your own. They are an amalgam of other people's words.

Since 1995, Madrid's Metro has added 107mi (172km)

Since 1987, Boston's MBTA has added 4.3mi (6.9km)

Boston's system has 39.5mi of heavy rail and 26.7mi of light rail. Madrid has 184.3mi of heavy rail and 17.3mi of light rail - 3x more!

I wonder what it's like living in a functional society 🤔

We started a book club 6 years ago and my first pick was this book. I knew it was sci-fi, but didn’t know it was this style. We all loved it, even the “I-had-never-read-sci-fi” people

Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?

“Every year, when I see 14 beams of light projected into the sky above Mount Royal, I have to catch my breath.

“36 years ago, 14 young women were murdered in one of the most violent examples of misogynistic terrorism Canada has ever known.”
