And you'll never guess who does it more frequently.

(My personal experience substantiates it, especially with Teslas)

Something that speaks to a sudden decline in our society is the amount of people I’ve seen lately approaching stop signs and then going right through them like “nope, don’t believe in this anymore!”

What folks often fail to realize is that in our biggest cities, homeownership skews old. Real old.

The highest rate of homeownership in the City of Toronto, by age category is among... people over the age of 85. (Census 2021)

No service on stretch of Eglinton Crosstown after car and LRT train collide The TTC says there is currently no service on a stretch of Line 5 (Eglinton Crosstown) due to a collision between a car and an LRT vehicle.

We need transit signal priority.

But transit signal priority is not effective against drivers who don’t respect traffic lights.

When I explain to people how I rode with multiple Consulate Generals across Toronto on bikes, showed off all of our cycling infrastructure, but it was Shaw Street that they were most impressed with.

They asked, Why we don’t have streets like this ALL OVER TORONTO?

My Answer: Lack of #PoliticalWill

Toronto now has 5 rapid transit lines, but is that enough to support its growing population? - NOW Toronto As of today, Toronto has five rapid transit lines and 11 streetcar routes. Now Toronto asked residents and an expert: Is that enough?

The question is a bit off: GO Expansion will bring subway-like service to much of the region and may be more impactful than adding another subway line. Still, it’s encouraging to see progress on major projects, even if completing those would only begin to close a generational gap.

Boy, bad drivers who endanger others (by speeding) really like to tell on themselves online.

Cartoon titled "know the work rules".

The first panel, labeled "appropriate" depicts Garfield the cat in a business suit leaning around the edge of a cubicle and pointing to a woman at her desk while saying, "coffee lasagna Mondays am I right?" to which the woman responds, hands clasped together, "awww you're so funny"

The second panel, labeled "inappropriate", depicts a far side cow leaning around the edge of the same cubicle and speaking with a word bubble which contains only the shapes of the 4 cow tools.  The woman fearfully picks up the 
Phone and says, "hello , complaint department??!"

I think one of the things that bothers me the most about the way Polymarket presents itself to the world is that it's adopted the language of journalism to make itself sound more legitimate. Like look at this post from yesterday morning incorrectly "projecting" the winner.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Dozens of Ontario farming communities fear losing businesses and land to Canada’s new high-speed train line The federal government has backed plans to build a rail capable of travelling 300 km/h between Toronto and Quebec City, a project that could lead to the most expropriations of any project in Canadian ...

I looked up the location of Gibbs Honey, the business profiled in the complaint against the high speed line.

It's almost right next to Highway 417, a four lane divided freeway.

Still not achieving the maximum speed of 60km/hr authorized by City Council for the median dedicated lanes on Finch West (and Eglinton Ave East). Is this because of how CBTC system will punish the drivers with a brake application if they accidentally go 61!?

This is the exact same Guy you could find 2,000 years ago as a Roman senator gleefully listing the number of Germani slain and sold into slavery, 900 years ago exulting in the sack of Jerusalem, or 100 years ago celebrating 500 yards taken on the Western Front. Timeless chickenhawk scum.

Many people talking about how gasoline prices at the pump have already jumped. But what should really terrify Republicans is RBOB — the futures price on wholesale gasoline. This is up 75 cents a gallon since its low earlier this year.
