This shows the nuance that is missing from most of the cellphone ban discussions, and a review of some of the evidence. (Anecdotally from our work around Ontario the feedback on the ban has been mostly positive) blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpol…

“Underparenting” requires that as a society, we build back our tolerance for children in public spaces and create safe environments where lightly supervised kids can roam freely. nytimes.com/2024/09/15/opi… via @NYTOpinion

Thank you @CityMaximum for bringing your gang to the new Island. I think this was the point on the tour where I mentioned that old people will retire, and that I was thrilled to meet our new leaders who will bring positive change. What an engaged group. 🙌✌️

@g_meslin @BikeShareTO Best value in TO transit, especially the e-bikes

Six weeks in, I will unreservedly say that my annual @BikeShareTO membership is some of the best money I’ve ever spent.

@simonmxtthews @JocelynSquires I also don’t get all the complaining

@JocelynSquires People have all kinds of complaints about this place but its honestly fkn beautiful

@GraphicMatt Don Mills Like White Elephants

For sale: Eglinton LRT station signage, never used.

Whoever is the next CEO of the TTC should carefully consider the following - here are major issues which I've split into "quick wins" and "less quick wins". Toronto deserves so much better from the TTC, and the opportunity for great transit has never been bigger. 🧵

@AlexDRMather It’s incredible what a difference they make to mobility. On a related note i was riding back downtown along the waterfront on Saturday night and saw dozens of bikes abandoned at several full stations. I wonder if this is common on weekend nights with all the one-way traffic

On Saturday, more than 30,000 people used Toronto’s bike share system.

@thatkevinchong How did you come up with the odds? Congrats on finishing

There's a 75% chance that nobody will ever see it, but, after 5 months, I finished the first draft of my implausible, bonkers novel. Maybe I'll revise it until it's better. Maybe I'll trash it & write something else. But for now, I'm letting myself rest. 😀✍️💤

I found it in these cousin paragraphs. That none, including the world’s richest man, disturb these passengers

Something in this very good ⁦@cd_hooks⁩ essay reminded me of Cormac McCarthy nytimes.com/2024/05/24/opi…

@alexbozikovic It would be too good if they did

It is a joke that Toronto has not pedestrianized Yorkville.

@alexbozikovic Generally agree esp. on better use of space but there is a lot of nuance within this category. These in the new building at the Museum of Natural History are very good

Amen. Architects, come up with another idea please. You can do it!

Last week I got to do a cool thing that probably puts me on a very short list: I gave a keynote speech w my father. The topic was Transforming School Cultures & the audience was Franco-Ontarian school leaders, which includes the school my kids attend. 3 generations in 1 speech!

@anotherglassbox The very point

City life is an absurd experience
