If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

A podcast episode for “Toronto Today with Greg Brady.” The episode title is “Every bomb Israel drops now does them more harm than good.”

Just *now*, huh? 🤨

Saying you want someone “god-fearing” on a dating app is the fastest way to make me you-fearing 😳

Cushy gig, I’m jealous

Just heard on the radio that Councillor Stephen Holyday doesn’t have a constituency office!?

We all know he’s far-and-away the most useless member of city council, but this is just ridiculous.

I forgot about Turning Red. That was a good one. But, yeah, the live action ones are usually sad.

One of my favourites. But it kind of stands apart from all the other movies set in Toronto.

I like that we’re unapologetically setting movies in Toronto now, but it seems like they’re all super serious, slow, and heartbreaking. Which is all good, but can we do a silly one?

Oh god. My dad is a great cook, but he had a phase where he kept making jello tuna casseroles. I can only imagine what twisted 1960s housekeeping mags those recipes were from. The household had to ask him in one united voice to please make anything else.

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Right? I could even pretend to be conservative and criticize Ford from that perspective. Such as spending large amounts of money on absolute nonsense instead of “protecting the public purse.”

Today on AM640, a different spokesman Alex Brown opened his Project Ontario pitch by saying: 1. Ontario is poor and 2. Ford boxed up the John A. Macdonald statue. So these people have their finger on the pulse of the province, clearly 😂. He then called Ford “Trudeauesque.” I’m dying.

“Project Ontario” is an advocacy group who’s pissed off that Doug Ford isn’t conservative enough. One spokesman went on TVO’s ONpoli podcasts and could not, after generous and gentle prodding from Steve Paikin, name a specific thing the group was dissatisfied with.

If there isn’t (maybe there is and I’m just not hip), there should be!

Looking to fill your old room

Kind of? There are spaces on Facebook that help connect people. It’s basically the only thing worth keeping Facebook for at this point.

Roommate searches are more emotionally fraught than dating. You do your best to impress, you meet them, you think there’s a vibe, you start imagining a life together and… their friend is subletting their bachelor suite for the summer. Damn.

ANALYSIS: What exactly does the court’s bike-lane decision mean? | TVO Today Yes, the Charter protected Toronto’s bike lanes. No, bike lanes are not a Charter right.

“The good news here is that the facts in this case are so uniquely one-sided, and the government’s conduct has been so dishonest, that the risks of this having any kind of longer-term consequences are small.” @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social: amp.tvo.org/article/anal...

If Doug Ford actually uses the notwithstanding clause just to troll some downtown Torontonians, it will be the most Doug Ford thing Doug Ford has ever Douged.

This sort of rhetoric is going to have the long term effect of destroying historical awareness of the true horrors of Nazism. This is as dangerous for historical memory as outright denialism.

Liam Neeson has updated his status to Taken.

He deserves an upBrading. He’s Brad news. Telling bald-faced lies.

“How could this have happened!?”

Good question, Brad. Let me just call up your old council votes and

Mayor Chow has to take responsibility for what happens on her watch. But hearing John Tory allies on council try to pin the State of Good Repair backlog they created on her is infuriating.

Be critical, but not hypocritical. You know your voting records are public, right?

Absolutely

The only good thing about Alligator Alcatraz is there’s somewhere to put all the former ICE agents when America finally pulls its head out of its ass.

The people complaining about democratically elected provincial politicians being overruled had no problem with democratically elected municipal politicians being overruled, so they can go pound sand.

Really cannot overstate the extent to which the court was impatient with the total lack of evidence presented by the government.
