🤞 🤞 That’s a world I want to live in

Tunnel under Somerset, near the southwest side of City Centre: maps.app.goo.gl/NSuMXwhejjGM...

An intersection between a section of gravel road and a multi-use pathway leading into a tunnel

Turning left on the bike here always feels like taking my life into my hands. Kinda wish there were aggressive speed bumps before and after this tunnel entrance cuz few people slow down or are expecting merging here.

Pretty underwhelming WWDC keynote today, eh? Very incremental improvements. Nothing bad, but aside from iPadOS *almost* turning into MacOS nothing wowed me.

Hazy sky with a very orange sunset due to forest fires

Forecast is: 2nd hand smoke 🫠 🔥

Not a thought between those eyes

The anger is kind of hilarious. If they had kept driving everyone would be happier! 🫠

Right?? I do the same. In almost every situation these folks are trying to be nice, but aren't saving anyone's time or making things safer.

So this happened at the same intersection *again*. Guy stopped to let me cross, but this time cars were coming from the opposite direction. Dude *waited for those cars to pass* and waved me across, meanwhile, cars were backing up behind him 🤦‍♂️

Turns out yesterday was *not* the day. So… probably never

Wild thunderstorm. Wish we didn’t plant a bunch of our veggies about an hour before…

Also any variation of “Smile, you paid for this” are a smidge too condescending for me 😂

Thinking about the signs I saw spectators hold yesterday during the race weekend ½. So many fun ones.

The Mario “tap to power up” signage might be overdone, tho. Felt like I saw 5+ variations of them. People go out of their way to tap them, I got cut off more than once 😅

Car stopped to let me and the dog cross at an intersection without a crosswalk on Preston… which, while nice, was completely unnecessary (I was only waiting for that car to pass before crossing). I shook my head and waved them along. The driver got mad at me… 🫠

Just be a predictable driver?

Watched The Death of a Unicorn. It has one of the weirdest continuity errors I’ve noticed in a movie. During the climax (which takes place at night) a character leaves the house through a window… cut to them climbing down the house in *the middle of the day—not dawn*. What did they cut out?? 😵‍💫

In line at an advance polling location. Cool to see so many people out (but also dang, an hour long line isn’t my favourite)

*Checking in on Facebook*

"I keep sharing hyper-partisan political memes and for some reason no one wants to engage in good faith debates with me, there's 'so much hate'!"

Looking to replace my trail runners and was pleasantly surprised to learn about Norda, a 🇨🇦 brand, based out of Montreal. The 001's look pretty appealing... nordarun.com

I had a great experience with elysedevarennes.com @ Dominion Lending

I kind of want to go

Came across a creative solution to an unnecessary problem 😂

Huge grain of salt: I recall reading a while back that some of the laws may only apply when we’re at war? High treason? 🤷‍♂️

“Oh my GOD the cast we’ve assembled for this film! Peter Gallagher! John Lithgow! Frances McDormand! Top shelf! We need a title that befits their level of respect!”

“Don’t worry, it’s covered.”

At SXSW, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber pokes fun at Mark Zuckerberg with Latin phrase T-shirt | TechCrunch When Bluesky CEO Jay Graber walked on stage at SXSW 2025 for her keynote discussion, she wore a large black T-shirt with her hair pulled back into a bun.

Graber’s shirt — which directly copies the style of a shirt that Zuckerberg wore onstage recently — says Mundus sine caesaribus. Or, “a world without Caesars.”

Blows my mind that the 'F Trudeau' crowd isn't more celebratory about his resignation. Nah, despite an imminent election, the sky is falling because the LPC chose a new leader. 🫠

😱 yikes!!
