There have been ads on X for a while about how it's the smoke that actually makes cigarettes bad for you.

In Ontario, when sociopaths vandalized speed cameras, the Premier agreed with them and banned speed cameras.

I like how Finland gets a bronze because they won a game and Canada gets a silver because they lost a game.

"If I Had Legs I'd Kick You"
"Mother!"
"The Father"
"Very Bad Things"
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls"
Spielberg's "Tintin"
Different reasons for each, if that isn't apparent.

Or shooting deaths per shots fired (including all shots at a firing range)

It also wildly distorts other stats like pedestrians killed by cyclists per billion kms travelled. To the point that it is a meaningless figure.

In the most miserable weather, too!

What? No way! They didn't all think to talk about the same thing at the same time by coincidence??

I would say, even if they don't have the legal right of way, there's no law saying you can't stop and let them live.

I don't get it. Who is keeping their anti-ICE opinions secret?

If "views" were a valued community resource, then increasing the number of households who could enjoy the views would be a net benefit.

I never thought smart track was ever anything other than his "sensible and sane" response to the Ford "subways subways subways". Just another expensive slogan.

GREAT NEWS! @plannersean.bsky.social is joining our discussion this Wednesday evening.

He has over 25 years of experience in planning, specializing in multiplexes and backyard units even before the CIty of Toronto legalized them.

(He can answer a question or two about disc golf too...)

Man killed in collision with bullet
Nose broken in collision with fist
Hiker burnt in collision with lightning

Sounds weird, doesn’t it?

I'm not sure I trust music streaming algorithms that go, "people who listen to X also listen to Y" when a huge number of people seem to leave streaming running without paying much attention. It's just a feedback loop then, isn't it?

Driver who claimed the pedestrian he hit was to blame loses challenge The driver argued unsuccessfully at B.C.’s Civil Resolution Tribunal that he was “0% responsible” because the pedestrian was wearing dark clothing and carried no lights.

Here’s the really pernicious part of *be seen* pedestrian campaigns. This driver argued the person he hit was legally 100pc at fault cause he was wearing black. Gambit failed, but those campaigns create unrealistic expectations. h/t @davethompsonvic.bsky.social

MZOS for public uses seem fine to me. That's not how this government has been using them.

Actually... we started watching Rules of Attraction tonight and it doesn't hold up very well. I remember enjoying it for being edgy and having an interesting energy to it, but it felt really stilted.

Oh my goshawa!

Is it good or bad that my commute is the best part of my day?

Oh, I ride a bike, so obviously it's going to be good, but "the best part"?

Bradford's been working so hard at this since November and even earlier and that's all he has to show for it?

Yes! So underrated!

Might have to put on "The Rules of Attraction" in honour of James Van Der Beek. Unfortunate that the director is a drunk driving killer. it's seriously underrated
