This beautiful, dangerous, broken world

I like that Toronto didn't buy into Bradford's message of fear

Next question, will the Rays have a position player pitch in the eighth or ninth?

Dianne Saxe not doing at all well

How 'bout those Brewers

Long line ups keeping polls open in Toronto (and delaying reporting of results) hopefully means that turnout is up.

Voting is a very important part of the effort to build the city we want, but it's just one part of that effort. In essence, what we're waiting to find out is whether our city has chosen to make it easier or harder to do that work together. #topoli

Just deleted my FB account. (For the past few years had only been using it for some professional groups.) They asked why I was leaving. Unfortunately and inexplicably, "Zuckerberg is a fascist" wasn't on the list.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Gary Mason on election interference: "There's one set of rules for them, and another set of rules for everybody else. And people are fed up with it. The rest of the world is fed up with it. And that's why the U.S. has become a pariah country. People don't like them. Canadians don't like them."

Music director reminded us tonight that we have only seven more Thursdays for rehearsal before Christmas Eve. Advent music will appear in the folders very soon. !!!!

“One of the greatest foreign policy successes in post-tsarist Russian history is the election of Donald Trump. You can stipulate he’s not an agent of Putin, but let me tell you something: He does every single thing that Putin wants.” - former Trump Press Secretary Anthony Scaramucci

RT if you’ve never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

In Toronto, more people are killed and injured by vehicles than from violent crimes. Anyone who claims to be a champion of safety, but who isn't advocating for safer roads, is just fear mongering or dog whistling.

Wild how people around the world are thanking Canada for staying united. They realize that a strong Canada is a bulwark against facism and aggression.

If Carney's going down this road of constitutional change to appease the cranks in Alberta, I want cities out from under the thumb of the provinces on the table. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Tell me again about how other countries are meddling in U.S. elections.

“If every cyclist did this, Toronto would be closed for business. And Doug Ford might realise bike lanes were not just for the safety of cyclists, but for the convenience of motorists”

Driving *shouldn’t* be the most convenient method of travel in a city. It should be a method of necessity. And we absolutely shouldn’t prioritize car convenience over people’s safety, their lives. There isn’t a War On Cars, but there should be. Cars have been a cancer on cities for a century now.

Great rejoicing in Toronto as the Dodgers go down

Teo, I love you, but you gotta strike out

I've only just started watching the baseball game, has Mary Hart been there at all tonight?

This whole turning 65 thing—discounts, free meds, free vaccinations. I should have done this years ago.

View of Doug Ford's future commute to work along Bloor St. in Etobicoke, behind the cyclists he hates rather than beside them. #BikeTO

We are very tired of being repeatedly attacked and neglected by a premier who just can't get over the fact we didn't elect him Mayor in 2014....

It turns out that the best way to avoid being killed by drivers is to be protected by infrastructure.

Fuck Putin. Fuck Trump. And fuck Musk.

If Russia wants an overall peace deal, they can pack up and leave Ukraine, and stop firing missiles. It's that easy.

I don't even want internet-connected internet at this point

So NOW Yamamoto has a bad post-season game

It’s long past time for the U.S. to get a new president.

EXPLAINING CANADIAN THANKSGIVING TO AMERICANS

A beautiful sight

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

He has a more plausible chance of getting a Nobel for fiction.

Can you imagine if umps didn't wear helmets
