This phone call could have been an e-mail, or, as they used to call it, a telegram.

200 years ago today, Alexander Graham Bell became the first Boomer to call someone younger than them for absolutely zero functional reason at all.

The war will end today.

Or tomorrow.

But by the weekend for sure.

Maybe next month though.

It's hard to say, really.

Especially with so much winning going on.

And the eleventh time this week.

White House administration source says US has totally obliterated Iran's nuclear arsenal for the third time today.

you see we didnt hit iran. iran slipped and fell in the kitchen and thats why iran has a black eye. if iran would just stop being clumsy we wouldnt have to get so mad at them. if iran would just use its brain we wouldnt have to yell at iran...

How Doug Ford made the drug problem on the TTC worse If we want to see less public drug use and people sheltering on transit, we must begin by reopening and expanding supervised consumption sites and by addressing housing unaffordability.

My latest for @thestar.com. Increasing surveillance and extending police powers doesn’t solve homelessness or drug use on transit — it merely opens up the broader public to arbitrary punishment, including the potential for jail time and $10,000 fines. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Not so much Pistol Pete as Pissed Ol' Pete.

Metrolinx‘s reflexive secrecy will lead directly in this case to making life worse for transit riders

I'm sorry WHAT

The hills are alive

I have experienced the weird late night sun in my travels and it's a curious thing to visit but I don't really want it at home

It's OK, neither are the voting public rational.

What is the frequency, Kenneth?

Greening cities doesn’t just make them pleasant, it literally saves lives

I loved Twitter, despite its many imperfections.

Then Elon Musk fucked up Twitter beyond all recognition.

I will never, ever forgive him for that.

I now love Bluesky, despite its many imperfections.

With all due respect please don’t fuck up Bluesky, or I will never, ever forgive you.

Thank you.

I thought The Pasta-cart War was earlier than that.

ah, the first pasta post system

Donald Trump’s economy, folks.

This is so clownish. You want a bare minimum coffee and a minimal line? Then why are you going to the place that specializes in making people special little treats and has built its entire business model on fulfilling detailed requests?

This is like saying it's rude to build a bear at Build-a-Bear.

If it quacks like a Dukas.

Today, informed people are watching the war in Iran & the trade issues its causing. Historians are talking about reliving the mid-1970s with oil shocks & stagflation, while it feels like most Americans haven't registered how bad it could get.

FWIW: I post pointers to new articles here, on the other place and on FB. I know also that they are echoed on Mastodon. I get the most and promptest responses here. Shows how the urbanist centre of gravity has shifted.

Gas Prices - What The Actual News?

Or riding them.

To be strictly accurate, Musk was a Canadian citizen from birth, because his mother was and (so far as I can tell) never relinquished it.

1988 is just when Musk did the paperwork to confirm it.

It is appropriate that he did it while our sleaziest Prime Minister of the past century was in office.

he’s gonna give a speech in front of an AI generated banner that says, “ŃMIMMS1ØN ACĞŒMPLISSHEP”
