I need to get back to organized exercise. Feeling extra sluggish. #Parkrun isn't enough.

Can #Metrolinx suck more? Arrived at Bloor for the UP Express and a train was on the platform marked 2L. My train was due on track 3 so I understood this not to be my train. By the time I realized it was my train, it'd left. The 2L signs were covering the Track 3 signs. Really?

I'm playing "Which came first?" a daily trivia game on the Wikipedia Android app play.google.com/store/apps/d...
Wikipedia quiz result: "I scored 4/5 on \"Which came first?\" today." with a visual indicator of checkmarks and one cross. The card also lists "Topics included:", detailing events like the "2004 Erbil bombings" and "Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad".

I love the @ttcalerts.bsky.social streetcars, but they really need more priority on the streets. The crawling and sharing a lane with private vehicles is frustrating.

Ouch!
2025 Strava Roasted:
If "consistent mediocrity" was an Olympic category, Peter, 2025 would be your gold-medal year. You managed 20 runs over 12 months—averaging one outing every 18 days. At this rate, your sneakers aren't wearing out; they’re dying of abandonment. You logged 103km total, which is essentially two marathons and a brisk walk to the fridge. Toronto’s Downsview parkrun club must wonder if you're a member or a ghost, and with 24 followers, your Strava feed has the same energy as a sparsely attended Tupperware party. Your profile photo looks like a man who just realized he forgot to start his watch before a 5k. 932m of elevation? You spent more time going "up" on elevators than on trails. Dig deeper in 2026, Peter!

I really want to like #ProjectRunwayCanada but it's just not good. Host and judging panel are good, but the rest of the casting is just bad. So #disappointed.

Hot take. Can we stop using the term "laid off" to mean when a role is eliminated or someone is terminated? Being laid off implies you could be called back to work at some point.
