Toronto #policywonk and urban nerd. Metalhead. Have been known to laugh so I don't cry.
Shower thought: We need to bring back old skool message boards like from Internet 1.0....
I met some lifelong friends via message board circa 2001-07.

In the subject of trains....
Union station is so much better now post major renovation. The GO train to Niagara however took THREE HOURS....
If Ontario wants the region to become a huge new tourist draw, this needs to be fixed, ASAP.

Toronto Wildlife-- raven eats rat. Cars drive around the grisly spectacle for fear of angering the raven gods. Epic.

I am an urban nerd with a pollinator garden.
Let me tell you, there's no better workout than de-turfing 100sqft of lawn grass with a dull shovel and a wheelbarrow. This is year 3. The milkweed has taken over, with Joe pye bee balm, hyssop, and goldenrod.

Arborists say Manitoba maple and Siberian elm are garbage trees but they're still a source of shade, food, shelter and fun for many urban critters.
I'm not a NIMBY but I'll cut any developer that takes my trees and doesn't replace em.

So, I actually love College Park and wish Toronto had more urban non sports / nature oriented places to just kind of hang out and chill.

Car-dependent suburban sprawl is the most publicly expensive approach to population growth in human history. #UrbanTruth
They want us to think that Suburban Sprawl is cheap. But the truth is, the costs are FAR too high. #UrbanTruth

@techconnectify.bsky.social sitting here in surprising sunny weather listening to all the ambient car noise, I wonder if you've considered doing a video about decibel meters / sound pressure level monitors. I doubt my app is terribly accurate but if not, why not? Are there consumer DB meters?

My Ides of March fun fact is that the place where Caesar was stabbed is now a cat sanctuary, and I think it’s beautiful that creatures with tiny knives on their feet live there

Hey does anybody know how to pull TTC bus data so I can confirm my suspicion that my local bus is way more unreliable since it started terminating at Mt Dennis station?
