I’m absofuckinglutely thrilled to be writing a paper on what’s happening syntactically when we shove a swear word into the middle of a perfectly whole other word (aka tmesis). I’m also intrigued about whether (and how) this happens in other languages. Have you got any examples? #linguistics

Went to Hamilton to see the Aespa concert. Awesome. Getting back to Union on the GO 100% not awesome. Mapping apps suck. GO trip planner sucks. No real time updates. We got lucky there was a train delay as our connecting bus saw our bus full coming up the station drive and left anyway.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

A story of cause and effect: Last November, Ontario banned cities from using speed safety cameras to issue tickets. Reckless speeding immediately surged in Toronto, Ottawa, Guelph, and cities throughout the province. A 🧵 about my latest in Bloomberg (gift link)

bloomberg.comWhat Happens When Speed Cameras Get Shut OffIn 2025, Ontario banned automated traffic enforcement. Now the number of drivers exceeding the speed limit has surged, according to traffic data.

This one is 100% truth. I've been in my house 20 years & there's been some doozies. The one I never understood was the broken 2x4 with a bike inner tube nailed to it, wedged between 2 studs onto to which the landline outlet box was nailed. We found it when we opened that wall and removed the box.

Okay Toronto started the public survey on Church Street pedestrianization. I need you to tell the city it’s great. We only got 92% positive on Kensington market and it failed, let’s blow that out of the water. haveyoursay.toronto.ca/churchstreet

I took the survey to express my support for the Church St. pedestrianization and you should too!!! ESPECIALLY because the City has so obviously tilted the survey against the project. This makes Carney’s island airport survey look positively fair and balanced.
