This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The new editor in chief of CBS News triumphs over her critics.

Not the best takeaway, but I find myself repeating (and laughing at) Lockjaw's "You go to a dance, you make an effort.... you put on makeup!"

Hah, been driving through there for 15 years on the way to visit my parents, BUT got rid of my car a year ago, so haven't been through as often!

Roofman Review - Brief Take

They finally closed the southbound right-turn channelized turn lane. Urban for an urbane corner.

I've got a few thoughts on Roofman, which is a true crime shaggy dog film, featuring a fun performance from Channing Tatum. It's not the movie I expected (for the better). brieftake.com/roofman-revi...

The wacky caper premise of Derek Cianfrance's Roofman comes and goes quickly, opening instead onto something more interesting.

Circling way back to this. I saw this film in Sept 2024 and was struck by the vein of sadness and loneliness it mines. It's almost more powerful than the filmmakers realize (they play it a bit funny with the fake "where are they now" ending, for example).

Don't sell yourself short, Shawn. You also write about public toilets.

Thank you, everyone should be able to see this good news. My apologies!

A few episodes before this one was built around Ellen Pompeo. Absolute scenes.

Just watched an episode of Law & Order in which the evil lawyer is played by Wilson of Home Improvement fame, and filmmaker Kevin Smith makes a cameo as "Tony's Wife's Nephew." What a series.

(If we're thinking of the same situation: the Fire Hall is moving to the south side of Metro Hall, freeing up the land to become a mixed-use development site.)

Maybe...... the road....... shouldn't be........... six lanes wide.

Matt Elliott @graphicmatt.com · 5d

Burnside's point is that maybe the 40 km/h speed limit on Avenue Rd and other streets is too low. Getting a ticket for "going 50 or 51 on Avenue Road that's six lanes wide, seems to be the kind of thing that would get under people's craws," he says.

Gray points out there are schools on Avenue Road.

When Brody is right, he's right.

Hah, yes, I enjoy that for whatever reason "reducing on-site parking" is not necessarily accounted for as the number one way to reduce emissions. Fortunately, I understand reality.

Daniel Reynolds @akareynolds.bsky.social · 7d

Fascinating to consider this map when we also consider the response to some higher density development proposals (even ones as small as 10 units) is that there is "not enough green space."

Jason Thorne @jasonthorne.bsky.social · 8d

The Venn diagram of urban density and average household GHG emissions is pretty much a circle. Interesting study on “Mapping household GHG emissions in the Greater Golden Horseshoe” from the University of Toronto School of Cities schoolofcities.utoronto.ca/mapping-hous...
