I'm not sure any of that article is actually satire
We are in an age when reality is absurd enough that a satirical paper need not make anything up

Disagree. It's more special to have it compressed. And if it were longer, I would much rather it extended into January, which in Toronto is truly much more in need of lights and cheer than December.

I meant to add a bit more to this! @langealexandra.bsky.social's book looks at the history of American malls, postwar to present, through the lens of culture, gender, race, city building, and architecture. It's beautifully written, multi-layered, and insightful to understand why we gather in places.

I wish they renamed it Sankofa Station. The name has a powerful meaning and story and I think the public needs it reinforced more to remember it.
