And then when they’re 27 or so they’ll be ready for Grave of the Fireflies

Love it!

People love this stuff! People assemble ranked lists of them online! They are wholesome! If successful they become a new icon of a place! They’re relatively cheaply mocked up for a special occasion to see if they work in a place! Let us have our goofy fun signs and/or minor attractions!

Giant inflatable rubber duckie? Fuck yes! Life size version of a children’s show vehicle character? Give me two!

Have we considered the possibility that in fact pigeons _cause_ Earth’s magnetic field, and that the moving of magnetic north is due to shifting migration patterns 🤔

Congratulations Dr Turner!

This is exactly how Rome fell

Maybe “successful” rather than “good”

But maybe I’m overthinking this, “more local say in local affairs” seems to be a good multi-purpose talking point

I’m asking about words because at some point there’s going to have to be a lot of advocacy and a rallying cry, and I feel like (a) “restructure municipal governance” isn’t going to do it, and (b) I’m not sure boroughs have positive connotations in Canada (might be wrong)

Any suggestions for good words for “undo the amalgamation into one single homogeneous municipal entity” that could include end states like boroughs? Decentralize? Devolve?

De-amalgamation is only the start, but it would give the opportunity to reboot things and move towards a municipal governance structure that could handle being a charter city.

The shop might be successful! This can’t be allowed!
