Stencil out here really feeling 'rich people are just smarter than poor people. No one with a high net worth could possibly be an idiot.'

The risk isn’t the technology. The risk is in people who should know better getting whipped up in the hype and helping normalize tech’s narratives so we don’t pay attention to (and rein in) what they’re actually doing in the present.

The easiest explanation of how zoning works is: "The process through which the government maximizes available on street parking, while everyone participating in the process makes thinly veiled attempts to say it's about anything else."

Classic conservative response: 'The only role of the government is to punish immoral people. If I get punished, it is an attack on my very essence as a person!' Like no dude, you are being punished to remind you to follow a rule that you are ignoring. There is no moral judgment attached.

This pod misses the mark talking about free busses. While discussing increased ridership not correlating with reduced car trips, they neglect how important new trip generation is. There's a $10 weekly class across town, but it's $16.50 including bus fare. Transit fares suppress economic activity.

The #CBC has an Ombudsman who is in charge of mediating complaints that listeners have with the editorial teams response to complaints. They write reports on if the editorial team violated the CBCs standards and practices. Historically the office generated ~60 reports a year. 2025 has seen 3 so far
A line chart showing the reports released by the Ombudsman's office by year.  The chart shows that the office historically released ~50+ reports a year, dipping slightly during the pandemic, before cratering in 2025.

Fletcher is arguing that the agreed upon plan for a bike lane needs to be changed, since it's getting rid of 48 parking spots, instead of the 30 originally projected. She's willing to risk people's lives for 18 parking spaces.

Things I learned about the new TTC CEO today: - Never been to Toronto before - Still mastering good mic technique - His age is a mysterious secret www.thestar.com/news/gta/ttc...
Lali, who took the TTC to get to the press conference that morning, confirmed later to the Star that he hadn’t been to Toronto before applying for the city’s top transit posting.

The soft-spoken Lali — dressed in a suit, sweater and TTC-red tie — was asked several times to speak louder or closer to the mic in order to be heard, and while he quipped with reporters, he largely kept personal details to himself.

When the Star asked the salt-and-pepper haired Lali about his age, the transit executive cheekily responded, “Today I feel like I’m 21.” Pushed further, Lali said only his wife knows his real age.

Luddites weren't anti-tech. They were against technology being used by the capitalist class to capture wealth at the expense of the worker. I am a Luddite, and a tech enthusiast. They're not in opposition. I want technology that makes MY life better, not that sells my life piecemeal to corps.

Putin would have invaded no matter what group the US backed in the Euromaidan coup to oust his puppet and install a western friendly regime. But the US backed Azov et al., because they generally prefer arming right wing extremists as proxy forces. (see: Afghani Mujahideen, Contras, Syngman Rhee)

"But boycotting American goods puts pressure on Trump to help our capitalists out, which will trickle down to everyone." Sure, but if i'm trying to pressure politicians, it seems more productive to pressure Canadian ones. Boycotting Galen Weston Jr. seems a lot more productive if you ask me.

"Don't buy American! They implemented tariffs that hurt our capitalist class! Buy Canadian instead, support our capitalists!" As much as I dislike Donald Trump, i'm really not feeling like doing the Irvings any favours.

This "Buy Canadian" thing... You do realize we hardly make anything here? Our main industries are money laundering and real estate fraud.

Toronto's YIMBY group is super happy that midwives can now be built in thin lines along car dependent infrastructure. The ocean of SFH surrounding the subway lines will continue unabated. The 'avenues' plan is a refusal to build walkable neighborhoods.

The most frustrating thing about living in Toronto is the sole method of densification is 'What if Neom, but with single family homes instead of a desert, and massive car infrastructure running right down the middle of the line?' We only ever build housing in straight lines along major arteries.
