I've said before that one of Toronto's problems is that the city refuses to accept that it's a winter city. And former councillor Joe Mihevc's comments here are a perfect example of it.

You know what looks worse than a Cybertruck?
A Cybertruck after being driven all winter.

every time i see one, i can't stop myself from thinking about how ugly they are — how hostile the design is, how oversized and clumsy they look, they're, truly, one of the worst fucking car designs in history
I keep thinking that someday I will become used to the hideousness of cybertrucks and they will finally blend into the background and every time I see one I am struck anew by how awful they are

Well now Metrolinx has removed King-Liberty from their list of ongoing projects. So glad the City of Toronto decided to defund it and dare Metrolinx to cancel it. Great work everyone.

I believe this is the point where I normally mention that the Playmates Star Trek toys got *WEIRD* towards the end.
Which is why there's a "Mutated Tom Paris" action figure that came complete with a trio of space salamander babies.

See in the past tv shows could have 1 really shitty episode and we would go "damn that was a shitty episode" and that's kinda the end of it. Now a shitty episode or plot can tank a whole season of TV.

Every now & then I remember that Ontario has an income tax surtax — introduced by the PCs as a way to avoid saying they were raising taxes — and I have to suppress the urge to punch Mike Harris

There was a joke in post-Communist Poland that the statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky located in the centre of Warsaw should be kept as a monument to the Pole who had killed the most Communists.

"All the parts with the nazis were removed"..... do... how do you have a movie after that!? How does the "world War 2-less cut of CASABLANCA" even exist? It's like asking for a cut of STAR WARS without all the sci-fi!

#RandomGameSaturday In acknowledgment of the day, here's Binary Land. The Hudson Soft puzzle game that sees you trying to reunite the penguin couple Gurin & Malon.
It's simple. It's cute. It's Valentine's Day appropriate.

Ten years ago I was ambivalent about commercial gambling. I'd like to say it was the social harms that made me firmly against, but to be honest it was the sheer ubiquity of their fucking ads everywhere
Fantastic campaign, with Christoper Eccleston, to end gambling ads. It's sooo notable how many adverts for gambling there are every where you look - television, YouTube, social media, everywhere
