Getting bangs before travelling to a hot country was a big mistake. Would not recommend.

People are complaining it's difficult to drive on. It's a residential street. That's the point, it slows you down. I want to write a column that is just THIS IS A SKILLS ISSUE over and over for 800 words. Drivers here are skillless. ok rant over, needed to get it out, living rent free for days

It’s important when taking a group tour to have a Tour Enemy. Today, ours was the guy on our Vatican tour who complained that there “weren’t enough depictions of Jesus” in the Sistene Chapel (?), and also kept touching the marble busts (?!?)

Not sure how I feel about a Braves victory, however I am very ok with a Yankees loss.

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

Pitchers are a kooky breed: superstitious, hypercompetitive, quite often a little bit nuts. It’s a personality type that shares a lot with kickers and goalies in other sports. The common threads?…

Max Scherzer going on short rest to catch Verlander's strikeout total -- and nearly damn well doing it -- is some all time inner circle king petty shit, and I mean that in the most complimentary way imaginable. You gotta tip your cap to a true psycho, and Max Scherzer is an all-time baseball psycho.

What's hard about public policy is weighing the trade offs. For example, something sucks really bad and everyone hates it, but on the other hand several evil trillionaires think it's good. What are you supposed to do in that situation

Watching the mayoral debate for work tonight so took a mid afternoon ride. Here is where the Eglinton West LRT goes underground despite a generous right of way (at incredible expense to Ontarians because Doug Ford didn’t want a tram to go near his mom’s house, a house he lives in). 🚲

This is the sort of shit that you can only think is cool if your brain is infected with terminal stage 4 LinkedIn MBA Rot. Normal people look up to the sky at night and see 500 drones making a choreographed ad for a grocery conglomerate and think "gross", "fuck you", "go to jail immediately" etc.

This is the fault of 1> bleed/leads media 2> bad faith politicians who prey on fear (campaign strategist below) 3> bad faith social media accounts who pump the algos with constant torque fear vids Fellings matter, to a point. It's a duty, media & individual, to push back at this.

Toronto crime is way down. Why do people find that hard to believe?
Toronto experienced a sharp drop in crime numbers in 2025, and those trends are continuing for the first half of 2026.

In one of Sarkaria's early op-eds about removing bike lanes he talks about his drive from Brampton to Queen's Park. A stupid drive when there is a GO Train connecting the two. If the train service isn't good enough, you're the minister of transportation. Yet....

Including operating costs over 40 years without accounting for revenue is just weird. They say in the article they expect revenue to cover expenses. Why not just stick to capital costs, which the story acknowledges are within the stated band (for now).

Ontario is named after a Huron/Wyandot word meaning "great lake" and America is named after an Italian liar and slave-trader who went to Brazil and fabricated half of the stuff in his accounts. Impossible to say which name is better
