Wow. This is so sleazy and alarming. #BradBradford is a slimeball. He’s backed by the same developer sleaze that put Rob & #DougFord into power. Chris Alexander dropped out of the Toronto mayoral race & now a mysterious other ‘Chow’ appears on the ballot right above Olivia?? #TOpoli #VoteOlivia

There is a Braeden Chow listed right above Olivia
Chow's name on the voting ballot for Mayor in Toronto.
Since when were there two Chows and why wasnt this flagged? It's small type, his band appears first and people in a hurry could easily see Chow and vote for him thinking it is Olivia. Somehow, the names should have been separated, or one printed in bold. Considering how close the margin is between her and Bradford, details like this could make or break an election.

So would I. I had never heard of him until I voted this morning. I thought I was seeing double.

Well, this is cute. I looked up an #AirCanada flight in Firefox and then pasted the URL into a Chromium window where I was logged into my #Aeroplan Elite account. Air Canada added $300 to the flight price when I tried to load it from a logged-in browser. Hell of a customer loyalty perk!

I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words
"Free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, "I don't take sides."

Glad Toronto Police spent the last 2 weeks blitzing vulnerable road users like e-bikers/e-scooters. Resources well spent. Meanwhile the real traffic issue on our roadways, dangerous drivers: Killed 2 pedestrians in 24 hours & another nearly killed Friday. When is this City going to get serious?

this is a common question and the answer is that a lot of companies actually do track piracy numbers when it comes to gauging interest in an IP so if you really want to send the message that Harry Potter is toxic: no, you should not pirate it either

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

FYI the HUGE number of AI slop at GamesCom's opening night live is not a sign that the industry has normalized AI. It's a ploy to make you believe that. These games are all by the same 3 or 4 publishers. This is a concerted effort to make consumers accept AI.

So we know AI helped a negligible number of students. But how many did it harm? I've crunched the raw data provided by the lead researcher, and what I've found is that ~9,500 students using AI studied less than even the *least* studious, non-AI using student. This should shock the conscience.

Bradford isn't showing humility by changing his tune on bike lanes. He knows bike lanes don't negatively impact EMS response times, businesses or congestion. He, like Doug Ford has the data and reports. He's simply lying to get votes and pitting voters against each other for personal gain.
