It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Nostalgia about neighbourhood retail is not a strategy - Spacing Toronto I have lived for many years less than 30 metres from what was once one of Toronto’s storied corner stores — a green grocer known locally as “Dom’s” — for the owner, Domenico Cozzi. He and his wife Ros...

Nostalgia about neighbourhood retail is not a strategy — the City's heavily compromised decision on neighbourhood retail may result in no new neighbourhood retail, writes senior editor @johnlorinc.bsky.social.

Yeah, why is a multi-billion dollar corporation asking the government to fight its battles FOR FREE?

Was simply riding his bike to school.
What are we doing? Seriously.

my unsolicited hot countertake is that insulating industry from the consequences of its systemic harm is why this keeps happening

The Ask poster in action. 🔥🔥

Nooo! The Toronto fate

F. Scott Fitzgerald: In my book I invented Gatsby lifestyle as a cautionary tale

The president: At long last, we have created the Gatsby lifestyle from the classic novel The Great Gatsby

Feeling a bit like the middle management at a GM plant being shown the first assembly line robots during this #GitHubUniverse keynote…

she’s weird but the playlist is mind blowing

seems unfair that watching an all time world series game with your favourite team and seeing the greatest player ever doing things never before seen in a world series game is not, in fact, “fun”

i have an interview with the ceo of translink in ten hours and i fear my questions will become:

- “would you have pitched to ohtani in the 7th”

- “dodgers stadium, all that parking, hey”

- (wipes eyes, curses utter breath several times)

should go to bed but what if i just stared into the void some more

a brand-new copy of the book 'Life After Cars' from The War on Cars

Obi-Wan Kenobi holding a light saber and saying "I shall become more annoying than you can possibly imagine."

Just bought a copy of Life After Cars by @douggordon.bsky.social and @sarahgoodyear.bsky.social for my mom as a Christmas present. I find I get too worked up when talking about cars to communicate as effectively as I want. But with the book you can get it all across with Doug and Sarah’s help!

If I ever write a memoir, I think the title would have to be “If I had just planned this a little better”

What the hell, Ontario? 🇨🇦
Doug Ford, who was refused chance to rip out city bike lanes, moves to *ban* any road remodelling which reduces space for cars. bsky.app/profile/mome...

For folks frustrated driving in our cities, Doug Ford knows you’re not stuck in traffic because of bike lanes. Where is the same focus and intensity from the province on real solutions like opening the endlessly delayed Eglinton Crosstown LRT?” In plain English, Ford’s government is once again trying to handcuff cities and erase years of progress on making roads safer and more livable.

Say it louder for the people in the provinces, please @cycletoronto.bsky.social

There are only two types of products and services now: outright scam and pseudo scam (where you're like ehh technically I got something in exchange for my money but cmon)

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Pro-Palestine protester arrested for holding up magazine at train station A man has been arrested for holding up a magazine cover amid pro-Palestine protests in London.

If you haven't been paying attention to the Palestine Action protest arrests in the UK, you may not realize how truly absurd things have become.

Here's a good example: You can be arrested for holding up a magazine because its cover shows the sign, "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action."

As expected, all the various speed camera items on the agenda are joined together to create an omnibus item. A speeding omnibus, kind of like that bus in that famous movie, The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.

Serious question: why would the Democrats in Congress bother discussing anything about the budget with Republicans when the budget doesn't have to be followed?

Premium newsletter: Based on my estimates and analysis, OpenAI needs one trillion dollars in the next four years to build 17GW of data centers and other commitments, with at least $500 billion needed for company operations. There is not enough capital to do this.

Hate to say it, but now I get what Billy Joel was going on about.
Hate to admit I didn’t think of the joke until now…
