“The program also saw a 10-per-cent increase in total rides taken, with a total of 7.8 million trips last year, according to the report. About 231,000 people who used bike share last year were first time riders.” - @oliviapiercey.bsky.social

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
r/toronto u/Mayor_OliviaChow • 1h • Verified Transit Signal Priority update News Hey r/toronto - I'm breaking the news here first. We're bringing transit signal priority to lines 5 and 6, and as of today phase 1 is done! That means a single car turning left won't hold up an LRT full of a hundred people. But we're not done yet. In the coming months, we'll be making even more enhancements to ensure TTC vehicles get the green lights transit riders deserve. These changes will make rides along Eglinton and Finch West faster. More to come on other routes. And let me know if you notice the changes! 673 ) 59 3
Phase 1 of TSP on Line 5 & 6 is done!
No more left turning cars in front of LRTs according to @mayoroliviachow.ca on Reddit.

True independent thinkers don't change their clocks just because everyone else does. I will do my own research and determine what time it is
Went to see that well-known romantic Shakespearean tragedy about two star-crossed lovers.
Macbeth.
You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Children are writing about capybaras more than ever, according to Oxford University Press. The annual Children's Language report is compiled from 500-word stories sent into the BBC. 'Book', 'comic' and 'novel' all appear more than in 2015, while 'Kindle' is down 77%.

The end of this month will be 7 years sober for me, and my best advice for anyone starting down this path is sobriety won't fix what's broken or off with you, and it won't make you perfect. It will allow you to truly know yourself, all the good and hard parts and ask you to confront them to survive
This is me
A pre-colonial Māori wooden carving of a kurī, a breed of dog. The wooden figure is a pale white-brown, and depicts the upwardly-curved tail characteristic of this species of dog.
Another one from the “humanity throughout history has always been making little guys” archives! This comes from Aotearoa New Zealand, and is a kurī, or dog, made from kānuka wood. The only known pre-colonial Māori carving of a dog, they were found within Moncks Cave at Christchurch in 1889

You have to get into curling. Which you have done with aplomb.
Polymarkets seem bad but also the ultimate version of rampant encouragement to arbitrage everything. Find something neat on someone's stoop or at a thrift store? You should resell it online for more! Score tickets to a hot show? Resell them online! Figured out how to do something? Sell a course!
In the story of Humpty Dumpty it is never said that he is an egg. However, it is never said that he is NOT an egg. This means that any character in ANY story could be an egg unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep that in mind when you read a Jack Reacher novel
This rules!
A pedestal for a statue of Christopher Columbus that has sat empty for five years will soon be home to a statue of the patron saint of immigrants.
The question facing Trump-supporting Evangelicals in 2026 is whether they’ve so internalized a MAGA political identity that no amount of wrongdoing can shake it.

This Olympics was further evidence of how essential the CBC is to all Canadians.
BRONZE FOR CANADA 🇨🇦
TEAM HOMAN IS LEAVING THE OLYMPICS WITH A MEDAL.
And after starting 1-3 this seemed unlikely. They didn’t quit. Won six of their last seven games. Beat the USA to claim women’s curling bronze. Resilient. Triumphant.
