I Need a Cocktail

"Ass, Grass, or Gas". Nobody gets to sit through a Trump speech without hearing about at least two of these.

That Chow/Bradford result almost looks like the Valks/Dream score tonight.

I hope those Liberal MPPs who endorsed Bradford are looking over their shoulders.

Early lead for Bradford in the Toronto election, but doesn't mean anything....... Yet.

Will Braedon Chow change his name to "Ike Layton" in preparation for 2030?

OMG! Nunziata's out?! It's been so long since I've felt whatever this is... joy? Hope?

This is a pretty good night for team Chow. #Topoli

Etobicoke (Doug Ford country), the wealthiest neighbourhoods, and the Jewish neighbourhoods (which I expected, as they weren't quiet about their issues with Chow) vs. everyone else. Be interesting to see if it changes. The core came out. Can Stikuts win?!

“Cyclists are often perceived as recklessly flaunting road laws. A new study challenges this perception. The study found only 5% of cyclists broke road rules while riding on bike infrastructure versus 66% of motorists who broke rules while driving.” Safe bike infrastructure fuels rule-following.

This is so good. I used to play a lot as a kid and I haven't played in decades. This makes me want to play again.

I knew this because of Mary Carillo’s amazing badminton riff.

now you know

If you a Toronto-based creator or influencer, pls share this around and encourage 1:1 GOTV conversations, especially among renters. The advance polling is a serious issue. #TOpoli, #TorontoVotes2026, #VoteChow, #RentersVote, #GetOutTheVote

Grossly overfunded police force sends scores of cops to help destroy bike lanes installed by lthe government (the City of Toronto) that funds them. #BikeTO

bsky.app/profile/cjpb... Our premier has no university education. Nor does our deputy Premier. They have systematically undermined education in Ontario. Another scandal. And the govt has "notified the Auditor General last week and has also referred this matter to the Ontario Provincial Police."

Yall wanna see a puppy with hiccups getting mad

not to downplay what my math friends are going through but I think this metaphor applies to so much of modern life for so many people www.quantamagazine.org/is-ai-the-en...

This is good. There had best be a reckoning after November.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

My company was built around C++ Builder decades ago. I'm so glad there are other developers out there trying to figure out how to make it fully integrated with the current C++ clang open-source movement. Thanks, Volker Hillman!

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

The trailer for my new film, "Musk," has just been released.

When you're ticked off and a friend sends you something to make you feel better. 🐑🔊

Ontario Society Of Professional Engineers (OSPE) continues to speak out against the province's reckless and arbitrary scheme to rip out 19 km of protected bike lanes. Now will engineering firms heed this message before bidding on Ontario's RFP?

The stories of that day are so often of the (authentically!!) heroic efforts of first responders saving civilians, but there are so many stories of individual bravery that I'd never heard of in the intervening 25 years. Incredible stuff.

Everybody’s going to make “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” jokes about this, and rightly so, but allow me to me the one guy saying “I'm on my way from bigotry to irrelevance today, Ah-hah (Ah-hah), ah-hah (Ah-hah).”

Science Centre laying off entire science department.

I heard someone describe Diet Coke as "fridge cigs" the other day and well I never.

This is incredible.

Essential reading, from The New York Times no less. Occasionally they let one slip through. Susan Faludi w/a trenchant perspective on the fate of women under this administration's policies.

Republicans have spent the last year trying to defund Dolly Parton

This is excellent. And it would be nice to have it liaise with a single department responsible for any work that would require the tearing up of transportation lanes. We don't need more bureaucracy, we just need it allocated in better ways. #ToPoli

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

Oh no. Not Dolly. RIP, Queen.
