I love the usual: P Funk, Sun Ra, Bolaño, Gogol, chess...all that good stuff.

Love 34 et al too, but miss Sundin. Ahh, TO: what a city, but could be better!

The daughter of Israel’s most famous writer, Amos Oz, calling on all soldiers to refuse to serve in Gaza. This may seem like nothing to some, or too late, or whatever, but it’s a tectonic shift there. And she’s right, of course.

TO booklovers...Scribe is having their annual mega sale Saturday morning, 11am! 10,000 items, many excellent, all $5! Books, prints etc. (This is a PSA; I don't work for them! I stumbled on the store Tuesday for the first time ever, am still in awe. See you at Danforth/Chester!)

What does it mean that doug ford closed the Ontario Science Centre, but today one "supporting sponsor" is a US company, Cooper Vision? Is it normal for a publicly-owned museum that doesn't currently exist to be sponsored by foreign private companies?

Toronto apartments to get colour-coded ratings to ‘shame’ landlords of rundown buildings. The colour-coded rankings — similar to the DineSafe food safety program — will be rolled out by the end of July next year. thestar.com/news/gta/toron…

THREAD: Ontario’s debt is about to blow past $500 billion—the highest in provincial history. Doug Ford promised to balance the books. So why is debt exploding even as he’s cutting hospitals and schools? 🧵Let’s break it down: #onpoli

I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined.

Pedestrians can dress up as a whole ass car, wearing headlights in front and brake lights on their asses, and cars will still crash into them. Want to know how I know this? Because cars crash into other cars every day. Telling pedestrians to wear reflective clothing is BS.

That De Gasperis bought land across from the Science Centre just before doug ford decided on a Science Centre subway stop, only to then close the Science Centre...should be a much bigger scandal!
