I'd just like to note that the Comics Code Authority in 1983 was less uptight about language than a modern Tom King "mature readers" book.

Random poster: "Japan, a country famously less keen on mayo than the West"

Japan: [does not break eye contact while adding extra mayo to a pizza made with mayo sauce]

I recall seeing a picture of a store that bundled 13 copies together for 100 yen and labeled it "Golf-o 13".

#RandomGameSaturday Golf

There were golf games before this, but Nintendo's was the first one that played well. It helped define how all golf games should play going forward.

If you've ever played a golf video game made after 1984, you have HAL Labs, Satorou Iwata, and Nintendo's Golf to thank.

I just noticed the description at the bottom is "Mesopotamia didn't have this bul[lshit]"

And oh boy… Sumer had 2 basic forms of currency: bushels of barley and silver rings. Sure, you could use other things — cattle & axe heads were popular — but their worth was enumerated in silver.
Going on any other social media site makes me realize that bluesky isn’t so bad

In addition to being hopelessly outdated, Thomson and Thompson are wearing dragon rank badges — which, during the previous Qing era their costumes are from, would have signified that the wearers were members of the imperial bloodline.
well, almost everyone since thompson and thompson dunce capped and kazoo'd it again

"I'll just walk in the direction of travel & check the app whenever I pass a stop" often results in arriving on foot.
Let's see.

The 504D streetcar being replaced by a bus. Nowhere in site. Can walk up to 505 Dundas and hope that is on time, or take any bus or streetcar that happens to come one stop across the DVP and walk 35 minutes (and be 10 minutes late.

The TTC is basically semi-organized hitchhiking.

Because I never look at the system maps, I didn't even notice that Lines 5 & 6 are now marked on them.

It's been observed before that 90% of posts on social media are made by 10% of posters

A corollary to this is that 90% of bad posts are made by a mere 10% of bad posters

How To Talk To Your Family About Whether There Is A Shapeshifting Alien Monstrosity Among Us Thanksgiving
No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

If they're refusing to make the report public, I'm going to guess it did not recommend what they're contemplating.

There is a segment of Toronto residents — maybe not large, but certainly vocal — who look on this description with fond longing.

You can find them easily at any public comment, railing against coffee shops, parks, and anything else that might disturb their vision of suburbia in the city.
"I dreaded the Sundays and prayed to God that if he chose for me for die in Toronto he would let it be on a Saturday afternoon to save me from one more Toronto Sunday."

It's a mystery as to how Toronto ever got its reputation of being opposed to fun
Also on the chopping block from Toronto's parks bylaw: the longstanding rule against using “profane language” in parks. Also you will now be allowed to be boisterous, but not riotous.

You can understand better why it‘s so hard to get Toronto‘s political class to care about public space when you see the arguments neighbours make *against* a local park

Someone is literally worried about the possibility that teenagers might hang out there
