ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

@city4all.bsky.social watching your "why Public transport shouldn't have to Pay for itself" youtube video (youtu.be/XRlyypbzHA8?...) you didn't mention Property Development as a funding option.

First ever piece in the Toronto Star on the Brampton LRT tunnel, needed to preserve the "historic" downtown - it's something that does not make sense, which tracks with our transit policy much of the time. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Doug Ford and his tunnel obsession are about to ruin a rare GTA transit success story

Brampton's new LRT is now set to be buried, despite the fact that other buried LRT lines are much-delayed and significantly over budget.

Creating a YouTube channel is definitely my biggest achievement so far, but all good things have to come to an end. It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know people in public transit, and I'm really excited to see what the future holds. Please check this out: youtu.be/JDxa9F0NSTg?...

Can’t seem to find audio online of one of the greatest April Fools pranks ever: Michael Enright’s 2001 hoax interview with a Jimmy Carter where he calls him a “washed up peanut farmer from Hicksville” Here’s the Globe and Mail’s story about falling for it: www.theglobeandmail.com/news/nationa...

telling everyone that your product will cause the extinction of humanity may be a breach of fiduciary responsibility. Hence the firing. #SamAltman #OpenAi

Found on mastodon (originally from phdcomics.com ): seems legit!

Infographic comparing marriage to the process of getting a PhD. (It's a table, so rather hard to do alt text, but amusing enough. Especially the row label "culminates in a ceremony where you walk down an aisle dressed in a gown" (ticks in both columns).)
