Good summary Toronto's election last night from @thelocal.to. I was really worried about this one, but I was apparently wrong about that. Chow win handily, as did Bravo in my riding, and progressives did very well across the board. Nice work Toronto! thelocal.to/olivia-chow-...

And it wasn't even that close! Phew!

#BREAKING: Olivia Chow has been re-elected as mayor of Toronto, the CP24-CTV Election Desk is projecting.

Braeden Chow in third place says we really need to voting forms #TorontoElection

Polls are still open in municipalities across Ontario. I voted. Make sure you do, too.

There is a very important point here, which is that housing (like money, labor and perhaps energy) is such a critical input to so many other (re)production processes that a partial equilibrium analysis that approaches it as just another commodity is going to get a lot of big things wrong.

Polling stations open until 8pm. There's still time to vote in this absolutely vital election!

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

Can't remember the last time I enjoyed an online symposium this much: the dynamic, so far, between Pistor's post and @ntinatzouvala.bsky.social's is particularly interesting. Too bad I haven't gotten to Pistor's new book yet, because I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS!

Career politicians get a bad wrap. Most actually just like helping people and trying to make government work! It's the business people going into politics that I don't trust. Why do you think you can "fix" a system you know nothing about!?

First item on the to-do list: make a to-do list

Mass Effect 2 is one of the top 10 greatest video games of all time. Not surprising. but this is extremely sad news.

Contracts is honestly the best class to teach. I'm not entirely sure why, but it definitely is. Just the hardest and the most fun.

If you’re interested in government work, there are still a few days left before the deadline to apply to the Progressive Talent Pipeline! Proud to serve on the advisory board, especially for an organization opening doors for folks who wouldn’t otherwise have a way in.

Wait a minute... I don't think that's wine

One group behind me on the train started talking, in depth, about Baldur's Gate 3. Now another group, who work between the US and Canada, are talking about how terrible the US banking and payment system is. I haven't intervened in either talk, but it's been hard to resist! I HAVE OPINIONS!!

1933 Maclean's magazine. An elegant illustration of the state of the economic world. "Inflationists" represented by a man with a bellows standing over the sick bed of "The World." I'm interested in the angry man in the background, nearest to the label "Operate," carrying an axe.

to keep functioning, society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

For years, the Trump admin has launched slanderous attacks against Rep. Omar. This morning, the administration sent federal officials to raid her home. We cannot and will not accept this unprecedented abuse of power. I stand with @repilhan.bsky.social. apnews.com/article/ilha...

Oh my goodness! I'm SO close to 🔥666🔥 reviews for The Crimson Diamond! How seasonally appropriate would it be to achieve this infernal number during the spookiest month of the year!? 👻 If you've enjoyed my game, please leave a tiny review: store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/The_Crimson_Diamond/

The Worst People in Toronto Support Bradford '26

This is way too close for comfort! Bradford wants to go through the city's budget line by line to find "efficiencies" and hire 1,000 new cops to patrol the TTC. He would be a catastrophe!

Can confirm - saw it yesterday

Torontonians, please get out and vote! This is a huge election. Voted today and it took less than 5 min.

After an amazing Alice Oswald reading at the 92nd Street Y we were all exiting our seats and I tripped and fell into Anne Carson. She was the most beautifully alive person I’d ever seen—her eyes! She said, smiling, “drinking again?” Cherished memory

I don't think she'll win, but Anne Carson would be an incredible choice. Best English-language poet of her generation. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/o...

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”
