I'm in one of those weird spots in Toronto where I can't tell if this an unsigned public space (gated, no locks), private property, or something in between. Drinking a coffee, reading my book, and wondering if I'm going to be run out of here at any moment. Really nice place for it.

Five years between "We can't do this again without Neil," to "Fuck it, print the money" Tour is ghoulish and pointless and you can draw a straight line from that mentality to a Bradford endorsement. (I say this as a long time Rush-Tolerator and sometimes fan)

After I read about this on reddit (shh), I went to Steam to see if I was excluded. Before I could search, I saw my "hot new releases" tab had a couple obvious adult games, so i clicked to get a baseline for what I was allowed to see. Here's the twist. They show it. All of it. Full penetration.

90% of my coworkers work but don't live in Toronto and they rabbit on about crime and The Horrors of The City. "I won't take transit", "People get killed all the time", "Communists run The City." Then they run away to their suburban oasis (Durham?!) and vote against making anyone's lives better.

Friends from overseas are always confused by the lack of proper 'furniture' in Toronto. My response is always along the lines of "The City's biggest fear is that they will build something and then a homeless person uses it." Bathrooms, benchs, shade, water fountains. This is surely at the core.

This is the exact, almost word for word, theory that kneecapped Toronto's street food program years ago. "They have so much less overhead! They'll put me out of business!" Said the allegedly high-end restos in the theatre district of the potential taco/burger/whatever trucks.

New city report notes the Toronto Police Vision Zero Enforcement Team handed out about 14,500 speeding tickets in 2025. Might sound like a lot, but well, compare and contrast.

Out at the park with my kid last week, a young couple really wanted to let their (medium) dog off its leash. My kid is scared of dogs, and I wasn't looking forward to *another* animated discussion about dogs in parks. Thankfully, the guy just did a bunch of pullups and they left

We checked out the first giganto-signs courtesy of Doug Ford. This is the dumbest crap and a total waste of taxpayer money. The gov't knows speed cameras are effective. Instead of evidence-based best practices that save KIDS' LIVES, these populist idealogues deny reality and leave us with this.
A photo of the new oversized sign with a hand in the left foreground making a thumbs down gesture, and a bottom caption that says "this sign should be a speed camera"Another sign, identical and located down the road from the first one, with a top caption that says "all this is a sign of is abject leadership failure" and a bottom caption that says "This does NOTHING to keep kids safe"Another shot of an oversized sign, with a top caption that says "there is *only* research showing signs are ineffective" and a bottom caption that says "*all* research about speed cameras proves they are effective and save lives"A shot of the base of the pole holding up the oversized signs. Special poles had to be ordered. There are 2 large holes drilled through the base of the extra-big pole. This is baffling.

We were hours away from a strike during our last bargaining. Mgmt panicked once they saw the barriers and barrels getting unloaded. "What are your workers doing?!" Uhhh, setting up the pickets? Frantic phone calls, a late night extension, and we had a deal to vote on the next day.
