The Fountainhead is a fantasy, not a plan.

Surely some flat tax from industry going straight toward transit subsidy would equalize that argument.

Remember the row during the Big BRT Debate about transit options out to Industrial areas? Couldn’t find workers because workers couldn’t afford cars…

Dizzy eyes

Two cartoons this week. It's still a climb back up. If you know, you know #cancer. Appetite returning. Sense of humour coming back. Still heavy nap breaks. Still two drawings this week is a bright spot.

People do what you pay them to do.
You pay corporate executives to make stock prices go up, not to make better products.
You pay politicians to get re-elected, not to govern well.
You pay reporters to get a bigger audience, not to tell the truth.
And so forth.
Be aware of what you pay people to do

The funny thing is Doug Ford says students shouldn't take basket weaving but his inherited wealth comes from making stickers.

I want to share without asking for any kind of thoughts and prayers and support. This is more an apology for not keeping up with cartoons and posts. Cancer sucks. In recovery.

The ‘city as s whole’ is huge. Doesn’t deny some parts are doing well and doesn’t argue that Downtown doesn’t need special attention.

Prominent climate scientist argues it's time to ditch the 'myth of neutrality' | CBC Radio Climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe talks to Bob McDonald about the polarization of science and why she thinks scientists should stop pretending to be neutral when it's our planet at risk.

“Scientists should stop trying to be neutral and instead embrace their values,”says a group of top climate scientists, including @katharinehayhoe.com. The neutrality myth is harming the reputation of science right when we need it most.” #ClimateCrisis

Science isn’t neutral. It’s science.

Water has been back and forth. As much ice water as I want now. Sodium has been inexplicably high… now well in normal range and free water allowed as much as I want.

Much I’m inarticulate about and it has been a week or so 👍🏻

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.”

This should be THE story everyday.

Trump threatens to block opening of new bridge between Ontario and Michigan | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to block the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, poised to become the newest border crossing between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit.

The Canadian government agreed to pay for and operate the Gordie Howe international bridge in 2012 — Michigan Republicans opposed funding it.

At last report, construction costs had reached $6.4 billion.

But the bridge is jointly owned by Canada and Michigan.

Go, @brucefanjoy.bsky.social! See also the attached CBC article on reduced productivity due to lack of team work spaces; wasted time spent each day looking for desks; and cratering morale. But Treasury Board insists on workplace models ("open office") long dismissed by experts, even after Covid.

At last free water. Meaning Ice or also water that has not touched other water.

Today's head
it's been a while.
At last I'm allowed I've and free swith nothing else in in it

Yea, banging the gong was more emotional than i thought things would be. And the decisions to throttle the free water are the right decisions despite what the patient would want. I do get away with shower bath's a 1 in the morning

The celebration continues

New ‘Merica

Yes. And I apologize for my bad mood sarcasm. How we voted 45 years ago is exactly how the process was poisoned and subverted to elect the pumpkin king. Thoughts and prayers might work.

But I’m usually past them by the time they take out their earbuds.

Have you tried voting?

And the independent stocks.

There’s one just over on High Street. So not The Village and Yes NotSoho

And mistaking one dystopian world for the other dystopian world. 6 7.

I think my sarcasm undercut my argument

And I played Risk And Diplomacy with such Similarly Principled Individuals before. Can’t recall a time when they actually won a game.

A couple of thoughts. Like they read 1984 and believe they can keep the good parts.
