whoever wrote the Communauto UI on web really had a "UX design is my passion" moment cooking up the date/time pickers

Rode Line 5 with a friend and he was like "Why does it have red stop buttons like a bus" and he pressed it and 30 seconds later the driver comes on the speaker and is like "you guys don't have to press the stop button we stop at every stop" 😭 why is it there

it was completely renovated a year or two ago, I don't remember what it was like before then

yonge-eglinton centre on the northwest side of the intersection

that part confused us momentarily trying to get out yeah

Coming out of Eglinton station directly into the food court under the mall was like a whole new world I didn't know was possible

it's real 😍

throwback to his other book where he blames korean culture on plane crashes and his data set included korean airliners shot down by the soviet union

for a while now ive had a take that meta's ban has led to the info space vacuum being filled with FB rage slop and shit like 6ixbuzz on IG replacing how people see the news turning them insane

It's TTC Board official

having been involved since toronto first beefed up its original HAF application the fact that he would only cut 10 million feels like a joke to be honest

Yugoslavia lives on in our hearts

Things that happened at these ostensibly democratic processes:
* then-councillor said she only wanted to hear from people on one particular street
* multiple councillors dismissing people who disagree with them as party of shady organizations or insinuating that they are paid
* anti-renter garbage

forcing my group chat of suburban canadian guys with no background in military (other than arma 3) to Read Theory (you and @gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social's substacks)

If I'm being honest, the collapse of the post-Cold War international order and the violent occupation of an American city are making it difficult for me to concentrate on housing policy.

As a Canadian it is endlessly frustrating to watch these cabinet dickheads tone police and finger wag everyone for reacting rationally to your insane president like what he's doing is normal

tough times to be nato's strongest soldier

for a lot of the last 3 years I was like "yeah he sucks now but he's still good on housing" and he's trying harder and harder to prove that wrong

the writing was on the wall when he never stopped running for mayor and LARPing as a fictional leader of the official opposition

my impression over the last 2-3 years is they've all become completely sour and disappointed with his heel turn (myself included)

sorry guys, you did it to yourselves

In a way the way we do housing reform creates more regulation cause we don't simplify/consolidate existing zones we just tack on extra lines of exceptions and overlapping rules to the existing R zones

growing up on microsoft's combat flight simulator 2 i was a hellcat enjoyer (i was in middle school and the name sounded cooler)

this was certainly one of the purchases of all time

mom sent me the baklava her friends made (right) and it looks like they cut it was a laser beam, mine (left) has been absolutely outclassed by a 70 year old bosnian truck driver

I read it in 2020 and it's a really good detailed telling of that era with primary references even if we're probably both huge Sewell/Reform critics, I often go back to my physical copy to look up bits of information

+1 for Shape of the Suburbs (the follow up about the GTA)

oh my god saxe lmfao

That's the Christmas Holyday spirit I guess

An Instagram post from purveyors of cardboard-tasting pizza, Pizza Pizza, showing an advertising panel truck outside of an Eglinton Crosstown (Line 5) station, which is still not in operation almost 15 years after construction began. The advertising on the truck reads "They should've ordered the LRT from us."

Simpsons screen cap. The Metrolinx logo, the company in charge of managing the construction on Line 5, has been placed over Bart's eyes. "Now, Pizza pizza's scoring off me."

I've even seen them in Mississauga! You don't even have to go far!
