You really comfortable with spreading misinformation regarding ranked choice ballots in NY mayoral race?

An ad for Today Explained said NY voters get to vote for 5 candidates, that’s demonstrably wrong. Please learn how ranked choice ballots work & how people only get ONE vote.

Opinion: The Greta photo that exposes the hollowness of Leftie activism — The Telegraph Thunberg’s pathetic, self-serving stunt ended with sandwiches and water. As Israel’s Foreign Ministry says, the ‘show is over’

It’s fairly obvious that @stephendaisley.bsky.social doesn’t know anything about Greta Thunberg, neurodivergence, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, or humanity in general.

What a twat.

Hot take. The government isn’t subsidizing university budgets. Universities are lending subsidized expertise to research and development that contributes to the public good. It’s called partnership.

This is the fight back against fascism that more of America needs to adopt.

Fascism isn’t inevitable, but its extinguishing requires effort.

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk.

(They are not complimentary)

a sign with an M on it that is definitely Mario adjacent

an upside down m, also known as a "wario symbol"

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

Etsy isn’t Etsy anymore.

It’s mostly resellers of cheap Chinese creator imitation goods and a handful of actual creators selling original goods. Those originals of course aren’t subject to tariffs as the majority of those creators ship and sell within the US.

I’m not weeping for Etsy resellers.

How are you feeling about this article now?
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another reason the opinion section of the Globe and Mail doesn’t hold much sway with me. Lately, when it comes to the economy and politics, they’re batting 150.
If I want more informed and thoughtful opinions, I’ll talk with my grade school nephews and niece.

Alberta premier suggests Mark Carney has issues with strong conservative women — The Canadian Press Alberta Premier Danielle Smith responded Monday to Liberal Leader Mark Carney

Sorry Daniel Smith, it’s not that you’re a woman that progressive men have an issue with you, it’s your hateful ideologies.

If you were a man with the same ideologies, we’d have just as much of a problem with you.

“For non-car travel specifically, the majority of people thought their level of support was above average. For example, 66% of USA respondents thought they supported non-car travel more than other local people, and only 8% felt that other local people were more supportive than they were.”

Pretty much exactly why I’m aomewhat disappointed with the urban environment I live in right now.

Trillium Path redesign at Bayview Station.

1st is more controlled, but not always necessary with pedestrian & bike intermixing. 2nd allows for more space for people to move around each other while entering in a controlled manner. Placing a wayfinding post in the middle would be good too.

In case you’re still not sure, the CBC gets it right:

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Conservatives won't allow reporters to travel with Poilievre during upcoming election | CBC News The Conservative national campaign director told media outlets Tuesday their journalists won't be allowed to travel with leader Pierre Poilievre on his campaign plane and bus during the upcoming elect...

Wow.

“Conservatives won't allow reporters to travel with Poilievre during the upcoming election.”

There’s no recent precedent for a major party barring reporters from accompanying a campaign.

Add this to refusing to apply for security clearance.

Are we supposed to believe he’s not hiding things?

Screenshot where BBC World has misspelled the name of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in its acronym form. It shows it spelled with a capital N but lower case ‘a’ ‘s’ and ‘a’. The correct form is all caps.

What the hell BBC?! Do you really not know how to spell NASA? It’s an acronym, therefore it should be ALL CAPS. Nasa isn’t anything but perhaps some person’s name.

Graph comparing the income growth and home price growth in Ontario from 2010-2024. Income growth in 2024 reached 51.3%. Home price growth in 2024 reached 178.4%.

Graph showing the median income, median home price, and price to income ratio. Price to income ratio has hit 8.0x in 2024.

Images showing growth from 2010 to 2024. Income growth was 51.3%. Home price growth was 178.4%. 2024 price-to-income ratio was 8.0x.

Just a reminder of why we’re in a housing crisis in Ontario (and elsewhere).

Google Maps showing New Orchard LRT station construction not even started, several years out of date.

I’m rather impressed at how far out of date Google Maps has become compared to Apple Maps.

It’s a stark turn around from several years ago.

How the hell do you not push back on such a BS assertion? She can’t point to a single person who has actually fought for that.
