Taking a bullet train to Osaka. This is like going from Toronto to Montreal, but in 2 hours instead of 6-7 — or even more if there is a freight train in front of via train for some reason in the year or our lord 2025.

Total aside: this fine & beautiful unique building, won a GG medal in 1982, will be torn down soon rather than renovated & updated. A Toronto failure.

300 people in a small Michigan town formed a book brigade to move books to a local bookstore’s new location from its old one. The move took ~2 hours and “the brigade even put the books back on the shelves in alphabetical order.” [theguardian.com]

Lots of queues to escape Narita. Easy all the same. We didn’t reserve our seats when we bought Narita Express tickets to Tokyo. The old Japanese lady at the ticket gate was all “let’s do it!” and ran with me back to the to reserve our seats. This is one reason Japan is the best.

Stephen Park, talking about how even after his breakout role in Fargo, he still had to witness dehumanizing anti-Asian racism on the set of Friends, which led him to writing a galvanizing open letter to Hollywood in 1997: youtu.be/KiwQu72VLsU

Wild @nytimes.com story about the Therme deal at Ontario Place. The company claimed it operated multiple spas while only operting one (and it was losing money), heavily implied they owned spas they didn’t own, and took their name & logo from another company. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

"What was done to Mahmoud [Khalil] goes well beyond whether you agree with the cause of Palestinian liberation. Where exactly are we in the poem that begins, 'When they came for the communists, I did not speak out?'... It's not a very long poem. So how far down the list do you think you are?"

A group of 31 rich men took out a full page ad in the @theglobeandmail.com this morning, Canada-washing their support for Poilievre & the Conservatives, to get lower taxes & other policies that will make them richer. 31 men. No women. The Sausage Party of Canada.

A few photos from university yesterday around 2pm. Nothing new just example of world class lanes (you can pass! Landscaping! Fits an ambulance!) & usual traffic, only stopped for lights. Ripping this out is Ford virtue signalling but zero logic & loads of $💸🔥. Trumpian.

here's a cognitive dissonance that is burning me out: - LLMs are magic pixie dust, this shit was sci-fi just a few years ago, would love to use them more productively - If they were that earth shatteringly useful you wouldn't have to force your employees to use them

So from my uniquely weird perspective after living in the UK through Brexit, being in India during Modi's demonetization, and living in Brazil when the real tanked during the Bolsonaro administration, I can confidentally say that Americans do not and can not understand how bad this is going to be.

Check out at @ttcriders.bsky.social campaign for full active transit signal priority for Line 5 Eglinton and Line 6 Finch West. When they open, the LRVS will be held at red lights so five cars can make left turns. We need proper transit priority to keep our city moving! nwmd.social/s/copylink/6...
