.@jamespmcleod has funnelled his trolling into art. “Urinal” and “Perseverance” are particularly great.

Me whenever Springsteen drops new music

Bruce Springsteen is releasing an album of soul covers that no one expected or probably wanted — and absolutely crushed the first single. youtu.be/so75N02bbCI

“We are going to give away the maximum amount of money to people who are actively working on saving this planet.” That’s about $100M a year 👏

Things you learn when researching cybersecurity: The first stealth virus was called Frodo — yes, that Frodo —because after being infected, the message "FRODO LIVES!" would flash on your screen. This was basically a meme. Even in the 80's, cybercriminals were trolls.

When I interned at the Guelph Mercury, I had lunch at Vienna 2-3 times a week. After a few days, they knew my name and order — an experience I've never had anywhere else. A little thing like that can make you feel at home in a different city. guelphtoday.com/local-news/end…

@taraarobertson And I’m guessing they didn’t end up getting their price right? In fairness my offer was slightly under asking price, but it was made after the owner asked my agent for exactly that number! Some of this is definitely sellers’ agents putting the wrong ideas into their heads.

@VicF77 It should be illegal to turn down an order over asking with no conditions

Toronto real estate woes pt. 7625: After I made an offer on a property (-13% from peak pricing), the seller countered by offering me a one per cent discount — in the worst market conditions Toronto has seen in years.

@BatPost @jamespmcleod I’ve been to a few showings of places that have been on the market for 40+ days without being sold because the homeowners won’t go below listing price or may only be willing to take a $10k haircut. If those offers aren’t coming in now, they won’t come in after the next BoC hike.

@jamespmcleod I’m not aware of anything compelling a homeowner to sell below the listed price if they don’t have to move or aren’t on the hook for another house.

This is a heartbreaking news story about a couple that bought a house for $350,000 in 2015 and sold it for $740,000 recently. What a tragedy. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

@BatPost @jamespmcleod I think the main thing is the longer their listing is gathering dust and the longer they refuse to negotiate below what are still sky high listing prices, the less likely it is they actually sell the place and/or get the same offer that they previously declined.

@jamespmcleod This is literally what every homeowner is thinking right now and why it makes buying a place nearly impossible. I put an offer on a place recently and got a counter offer with a 1% discount lol.

I cannot get over this story. They wanted to upgrade to a bigger house and thought that "the way the market was" they could get a deal on a bigger home while still expecting to sell their existing home at peak market price. Homeowner brain is wild.

The things police can do with @MagnetForensics tech are pretty incredible. If someone was shot and killed while driving, how do you figure out when the bullet was fired? You look at waypoint data and see when the car suddenly slowed down. officer.com/investigations…

GTA home sellers and their real estate agents:

I went to a showing for a townhouse that was listed at $699K. It received two offers by its offer date and didn’t sell. The next day, it was relisted at $900k. Yeah, that’ll do it.

This really comes down to GTA sellers refusing to acknowledge a new reality. I’ve gone to five showings in the past two weeks and sellers are still using Feb/Mar sold data to ask for the same money. They’re basically sticking their fingers in their ears.

If you expect to win a playoff game, OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa cannot be your best players.

Between the free throws Joel Embiid actually earns, the dozen he flops his way into and the half dozen inexplicable ones the refs toss his way, the Raptors might as well start off every game down 20.
