My annoying neighbours are talking so loud right outside my kitchen window and I can't even eavesdrop because they are raccoons.

Hot take: part of why people do quote tweet responses is so their own followers see them. The dynamics might be a bit better if there were a "share with my followers" option when doing a regular reply. (This post should've been such a reply)

Russia has one enormous strategic advantage of which it is taking advantage. It can daily attack civilian targets--hospitals, universities, markets--knowing that while Ukraine can do the same, the Ukrainians are too humane to do so.

Thanks to spam calls, I now have a somewhat positive attitude towards opinion survey calls because at least they’re not scams

Over time I have found myself unfollowing people on here who share interesting or insightful things sometimes but can't help but get into stupid fights. You don't have to be randomly aggressive to people online!

This morning — following two investigations into Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford's use of an app that rewards supporters for posting AI-generated comments and sharing contacts — Bradford called our reporting "inaccurate." We're now releasing the recording that proves our reporting.

Bradford calls CNO reporting of AI app rewards ‘inaccurate.’ Here’s the recording proving our reporting.

Canada’s National Observer has decided to publish the segment of the Zoom call that corroborates its reporting.

Victoria Park was looking nice today

Pedestrian bridge over waterway with trees (some starting to change colour), pathways, and a couple of towers in the distance, with long shadows towards the end of the day

Willow trees by pathway and creek/lake, with trees ahead lit up by late afternoon light

This tool from @observingthecity.ca is fantastic. It shows the traffic mode share by intersection using City data. Many downtown areas are dominated by pedestrians (in green). Yet *we still give most of the space to cars on almost every street.* www.observingthecity.ca/intersection...

Map of downtown area of Toronto. Pie charts show the mode share at every intersection.

Since everything is Glonzo nowadays, I wonder if you could get through water price reform with: "Making data centers (and other industries 😉) pay their fair share for the water they use!"

So this cross-platform viral video is fake, right? And basically no one is paying any attention to that... I hate it here (the year 2026)

Post from Maciek Hamela:

With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

[video of dozens of tanker trucks racing across the desert alongside each other, pretty absurdly]

On the one hand, the amount of slop (AI or otherwise) in the most engaged posts on here is depressing, on the other hand it seems like more of the top posts are smut than before, which I guess is good…?

Randomly came across the @citykitchener.bsky.social grand reopening of Meadowlane Park today, with speeches and ribbon cutting and everything. A previously nondescript greenspace was turned into a stormwater retention pond with walking trails, pretty nice way to do climate change adaptation!
