My humble attempts at trying to catch the solar eclipse from Montréal. We were lucky enough that from our backyard, we were in the path of totality. Such a surreal, and beautiful moment.

@TheGradyConnell Claim copyright through Meta! At least for the lols

One downside to taking and sharing photos is they end up being used for things like this...

@dta1505 AM144!

@johnage WAIT IS THIS AM166

Looks like we are finally getting an Auckland Transport train in the new livery to match the buses and ferries! Oh this is such a refresh to the current design. Can’t wait to see the finished product. (Spotted in Wellington, shared from Discord)

@JontySh Do you mean in Wellington? I don’t believe there are painting facilities in Auckland.

@johnage Why is it in Auckland?

Would love to see one painted in the darker blue configuration.

@hznry @AucklandPride It’s a messy history! And really feels like they try to be as ambiguous about it as possible so people think it’s associated 🙃

@johnage @AucklandPride thanks John! you’re right! sorry i was confused between the two of them. bad gay alert

Why did @AucklandPride let Act and National join the Pride Parade?!? They can’t just be actively taking our rights & supports away and still flaunting themselves in our space. Idc if their ppl who came to the parade are LGBTQ+ or allies, they can go pick a struggle.

@RichardHills_ @urbanistfromwhk I watch this about once a month with various friends in Montreal, but they just never understand how good it is. youtu.be/NaHICt8LS2o?si…

@urbanistfromwhk This is some A+ writing here. The lyrics are poetry.

@vanhudge I learnt of this performance from one of these evenings, and then made a specific detour in Stockholm to see it like the Eiffel Tower lol.

If I was in attendance at any gay guy music video night you know DAMN well I was playing Zara Larsson Symphony live from the Eclipse at Gröna Lund

Aecon was proud to join Mosaic Transit Group consortium partners, the Government of Ontario, Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx to celebrate the commencement of revenue service and opening of the Finch West LRT in Toronto. Read more: bit.ly/4pT4Heg At the peak of construction, over 300 Mosaic Transit Group employees worked on-site, including 100 Aecon team members, and 85% of the workforce was from the Greater Toronto Area. The 10.3-kilometre, 18-stop line is operating as Line 6 within Toronto’s transit network, providing frequent and reliable transit from Humber College Station in the west to Finch West Station in the east. The Finch West LRT is the first modern LRT system delivered in Toronto. Congratulations to everyone involved in this transformative project and thank you for your dedication. Aecon looks forward to continuing to play a key role through the 30-year maintenance term with our partner. -- Aecon est fière de s'être jointe aux partenaires du consortium Mosaic Transit Group, au gouvernement de l'Ontario, à Infrastructure Ontario et à Metrolinx pour célébrer le début de l'exploitation commerciale et l'ouverture du TLR Finch West à Toronto. Pour en savoir plus : bit.ly/44hh3ES Au plus fort des travaux, plus de 300 employés de Mosaic Transit Group ont travaillé sur le chantier, dont 100 membres de l'équipe Aecon, et 85 % de la main-d'œuvre provenait de la région du Grand Toronto. La ligne de 10,3 kilomètres et 18 arrêts fonctionne comme la ligne 6 du réseau de transport en commun de Toronto, offrant un service fréquent et fiable entre la station Humber College à l'ouest et la station Finch West à l'est. Le TLR Finch West est le premier système de TLR moderne mis en service à Toronto. Félicitations à toutes les personnes qui ont participé à ce projet transformateur et merci pour votre dévouement. Aecon se réjouit de continuer à jouer un rôle clé tout au long de la période de maintenance de 30 ans avec son partenaire.

Exciting news! REM have just announced that the Duex-Montanges branch of the system will open on November 17. That’s 14 new stations, with 3 connection points to Montreal’s metro system, and the return of rail transit for those who lost their EXO train for this project in 2020.

@ArcCyclist Can’t believe it’s this tweet that got me to come back to X. Just so so I can tell you that you’re a feeble minded human being. Denying the photographic evidence of what is happening just so you can live up to your own idea of what Israel is. What a sad life you must live.

There is no genocide in Gaza. Repeat, there is no genocide in Gaza. If you believe there is, you are of feeble mind and simply proof that Qatar propaganda is effective.

Confirmed testing for this evening! x.com/nztransitbuzz/…

Soon Auckland becomes a real city

Rumour is that the City Rail Link tunnels have been handed over to KiwiRail and the first test will be tonight, now that the underground section has been energized. Can’t wait to see images of trains finally rolling down these tracks. An exciting step for the project!

@Tiare_MP I theorically can’t even buy a bottle of wine in Ontario and bring it home to Quebec. It’s insanity

how is this not already a thing

what?

@LewisHoldenNZ Just like to cover my bases so no one of my old colleagues get mad at me 😅

Rumour comes from a manager at KiwiRail so I'm reasonably confident it's correct

@Tiare_MP This tweet is specifically for @CrikaRika

if canadians want a new holiday spot might i suggest the jewel of new zealand: taumaranui

@BitchAboutDevo Desperately need you to go a full audio recollection of events for some kind of archive somewhere. You need to be nationally recognized for your services.

@BitchAboutDevo Came back to this tweet to say I saw the film this evening and it’s a great time. Hoping for an earlier screening for you 🙏🏻
