Tonight’s episode of The Rehearsal wow.

This is how drivers think BTW.

You would never get married at any other location of genocide. You would not name streets and shutters after any location of torture. The Whitney Plantation focuses "on the brutal labor and stolen freedom" of enslaved people. Visit there if you want an accurate plantation experience.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

I’m glad the slavery monument burnt to the ground

312 automobile crashes *per day* in Chicago last week (Not including ones that happened on expressways!)

Just started watching a YouTube video about chefs making grilled cheese sandwiches and the first words were “what makes a great grilled cheese sandwich? The bread, the cheese” and I nodded quietly, because that is so true

Idea: eliminate all car parking on streets *except* for spots like this.

The Winnipeg General Strike was a watershed moment in Canadian history. For six weeks from May to June 1919, 30,000 strikers brought the city to a standstill. The strike came to an end soon after Bloody Sunday but its impact was felt for decades. This is its story. 🧵1/15

Don’t play with it. Don’t yell at it. That’s feeding it. Literally. Block it.

This won't happen in Toronto because we live in a province seemingly governed by sentient Escalades, but this really is the only solution to our current gridlock that will work.

Many are pets.

Here's a different take from a contestant who didn't get cut from the show. She did an AMA on Reddit.

FWIW: this neighborhood would be great candidate for automated stop sign enforcement. Use the money for traffic calming on the high injury network (none of which is in this neighborhood, which is p. safe from an infra standpoint.) It'd be a lot better than children begging drivers not to hit them. 😬

Read our letter to Chief Demkiw & Mayor Chow about anti-cyclist sentiment at TPS & the curious case of Sgt. Blain Young... In August 2022, Sgt. Young regularly traveled from 52 division to 11 division to ticket cyclists rolling stop signs in High Park 1/3

Getting blocked for criticizing the Nathan Fielder hit piece that was clearly just about that bitter singer clout chasing. Fair, block whoever you want including me, but this is a much more thoughtful and fair critique of the show and Fielder's methods www.reddit.com/r/TheRehears...

We managed to make the Tulsa race massacre a well-known component of U.S. history. This should be, too.

-it’s clear everyone commenting on this hasn’t watched it -she knew it was fake but she continued, was cut and is likely bitter about it -many of the singers have been featured prominently on the show -I don’t think it’s a coincidence a hit piece on him appears shortly after he trashed paramount+

Still find it hilarious when people call their dogs a "rescue". Saviour complex much? And aren't they all rescues?

As a group of pro-bike urbanists, allow us to remind everyone that cracking down on a specific subset of people on bikes you don’t like, whether they’re delivering food; doing laps in the park; or are kids riding around their with friends never ends there and makes our city less safe for everyone.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

I miss Better Things

This is too wholesome

King shit

I haven't seen the same outpouring of support for Rodney Hinton, Jr. that we saw for Luigi Mangione. GoFundMe took down the fundraiser for Hinton, who is accused of killing an officer shortly after he watched bodycam footage of police killing his 18-year-old son.

Oh wrestling is fake? Then explain this

Oh man I wonder how much money roads and highways lose.

we don't have to live like this
