How AI lied and gaslit me: 🤯💣🔥 Won’t lie: what happened to me this week made my jaw drop Do watch:

Bellingcat CEO Eliot Higgins:

Hulchanski, 1982.

The antithesis of the forward-looking vision that designed rail capacity into the lower deck of the Prince Edward Viaduct 50 years before it would be needed for the Bloor-Danforth subway.

A lot of ‘God Only Knows’ in my feed, but my personal ear worm is ‘Sloop John B’.

I reported on the use of “G*” as a Greenbelt code word back at the Narwhal, but I definitely didn’t realize the significance of it at the time — the asterisk made it “virtually impossible” for records containing it to be found, the information and privacy commissioner has found.

The Ontario Science Centre didn’t need to be shut down. The public was lied to by their own government.

Complete nonsense. Ford is proposing 1,600 Ontario Place parking spaces. Assuming a full lot every day of the year (a generous assumption) and even granting some turnover (let’s say 2,000 entrants a day), the province would still have to charge $82 per entrant to total $60M/yr

From walk-ups and corner store conversions to fourplexes and mid-block apartments, our older neighbourhoods show that modest-scale buildings can and do coexist with detached homes. They always have.
