I love metal shows when they do dumb shit like jumping jacks in the pit

wtf is happening with TTC today and "security incidents" 😭😭 time for a long cold walk

"Traffic is way down" So close to getting it.

Didn't think Apple would comply, we're heading down an even more slippery slope... www.bbc.com/news/article...

damn rip NYC congestion pricing

In all the doom and gloom something positive, went to Earl Bales late yesterday to ski for a few hours. Great place I didn't even know existed in Toronto!!

Doug Ford crowing about spending $1.3B on colleges and universities and $1.8B on healthcare. Oddly, he opts to not mention the $2.3B he’s spending on a private spa in Toronto.

Really like the debate style they're doing for the Ontario debate on CBC. Ford is giving so many non-answers just blabbing on about how much money they invest in a program and other big numbers

ngl I kinda weirdly missed walking in the snow the day after a heavy snow, never get this experience in toronto

woah just saw Bluesky on my company's intranet homepage

Biking King St to work this morning had me thinking back on my trip to SF last week. King St could so easily be turned into a proper cyclist + transit corridor like they have on Market St. I was amazed how no one drives on Market compared to the amount of cars I see on King (esp King W)

Every day I say I will go to bed before 11:15, every day I see the clock go past midnight

Between Drake’s public beatings and the Shopify Quisling Nazi-agnostic bros, it’s been bad weeks for Canada. Never mind tariffs. Bring back Nortel, BlackBerry & Celine.

Interesting: Oakville Mayor Rob Burton endorses the Ontario Premier Doug Ford He says Ford promises to oppose mid-rise housing on transit routes, tall buildings near GO stations, and four units as-of-right. Burton slams the Ontario Liberals housing platform. Replay on YouTube via CPAC.

New JPEGMAFIA deluxe feels like a new album the way he worked in a bunch of the deluxe tracks within the track list

Snow in Toronto can be so pretty (when it's not slush)

Back from SF and missing the California sun on this snowy weekend in Toronto. It rained most of the trip but got lucky with a perfect sunny day when checking out golden gate

shoutout to the music gods for blessing me with hanabie in my algorithm this morning, been needing new gym music

In SF for the week, the BART stairs are gonna make me work off all the food

wonder if this brick transition was the original intent. maybe it'll look better when it's complete..

Anyone know what engineering firm is getting involved with this? #BikeTO www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

new FKA twigs is so good can't stop listening

Toronto congestion pricing next plz www.centreforcities.org/blog/ulez-ex...

The events of the last year have made me do one thing I've been trying to do for years - use social media wayyy less. I have been the last 2 months especially and wow it's so nice for the brain

Reading all the executive orders today, these two back to back is so unserious. Can read them here if you want a true doom scroll - www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Fuck crypto in general but imagine seriously buying $TRUMP or $MELANIA. I can’t believe a president is doing a pump and dump

I feel like this poster/ad in our current affordability crisis is not a great choice 😬😬😬

POE2 is so addicting I can't believe this game is only in early access

I am here to report that Toronto Bikeshare bikes do NOT‼️‼️ handle well in slush. Just had my first wipeout on a city street in an intersection trying to stop, and was rough handling most of my ride. I'm ok, managed to catch myself with my hands and had gloves on thankfully!

Per Safe Parkside, the city has put up a 4th speed camera. This time a different design, thicker base. Will the chopper strike again? I've got to think more people will be watching this time.... They also report the 3rd camera is still in the duck pond, frozen in place now.

Finally put some bags and a fender on my gravel bike, and not pictured a new front light. Ready for some winter riding 🚲 New tires are next on the upgrade list then I'll be satisfied with my bike (for now)
