My photo shows a Roman floor mosaic depicting an octopus. The octopus is composed of small black tesserae (tiles) and has eight writhing arms with suckers and narrow curling tips. It is set against a white tesserae background. Octopus detail from a monochrome marine mosaic featuring Triton with a cherub and various sea creatures, including the octopus, dolphins and a cuttlefish, at the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in Herculaneum.

Spectacular octopus from the floor of the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in ancient Herculaneum.

The 511 Bathurst car recently had a service increase to every six minutes, and reserved lanes added south of Dundas (with extension to Bloor coming later this year). The results are mixed, and erratic service remains a problem although some of the worst variations have been trimmed. (1)

1st time I’ve seen a politician with an accurate take on the bi-partisan efforts to lock down the internet. Also, someone should share this with @taylorlorenz.bsky.social ASAP because there’s an 80% chance AOC learned this because she’s been the ONE person (rightly!) crashing out over this nonstop.

Family of Tumbler Ridge shooting victim suing OpenAI | CBC News The mother of Maya Gebala, a 12-year-old who remains in hospital after the shooting on Feb. 10, alleges the tech company failed to alert authorities to prompts from the shooter related to violence.

The suit alleges OpenAI designed ChatGPT in such a way that there were risks users "would become psychologically and socially dependent" on it and the company "had specific knowledge of the shooter's long-range planning of a mass casualty event”

The candidate was assigned with zero nomination meetings. That isn't democracy. No questions about Carney chopping up the Charter in bills. No questions about protecting the Health Act from privatization. Environment policies wiped out. The party she's running for doesn't exist in Ottawa anymore

Sent lots of corrections, missing key changes and dates since Miller. Noting how more UPX trips wipes out the need for the airport entirely. UPX is managed by Metrolinx and Ford has direct control of that and doesn't have to tangle with the city. Bishop cannot scale. PortAuthority also fails math

Local residents like the airport? So what? They would like this better, if anyone had the guts to offer it. An easily accessed 210-acre Toronto Island Park that's almost as big as Central Park.

If Ford actually wants to do something visionary, it is this.

add South Korea too. Could even do a CANZUKJ. But as UK joins the CPTPP extending to Europe, everyone is already there, and now EU is also looking for association. We're all just circling out the USSA. CPTPPEU?

He's like an even worse version of Q and he wants to do something nice for Toronto. We don't want it we don't like it, it doesn't matter he can't hear us. His fixation on this city continues while what we really need is a restraining order

and also ebikes ecargo bikes. also nationalize bike lanes. Add ebikes to relocalization and Canadian scale EVs. Turns out we don't need the personnel carriers of the USSA. Smaller yet capable vehicles should be easier to make
