Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

We don’t talk enough about the educators wearing killer outfits as they teach in the time of societal collapse. Here’s a short thread of back-to-school outfits and fashion trends I saw online this morning that I’m considering for this year.

A screenshot: Teaching isn't just a full-time job— it's also a runway with whiteboards. Chalk in one hand, coffee in the other, and somehow still pulling off a killer outfit by 7:30 AM? That deserves recognition.

Doug Ford claims that 70% of the 2,500 people he polled were in favour of expanding the runway at #BillyBishop. I mean, sure. Let’s assume that’s true. Now someone please ask #DougFord and Prabmeet Sarkaria this question: What’s bigger? 70% of 2,500 or 87% of 87,000 #NoJetsTO

Prabmeet Sarkaria, called it a “small fringe group.” That’s a heck of a fringe as federal survey results revealed 87 per cent of the roughly 87,000 people who responded to the survey were against airport expansion. While that might seem like a small sample from a city of more than 3 million, it’s magnitudes larger than the 2,500 people the Ford government polled in order to launch its ill-conceived proposal.

🛩️ v 🏖️ People who aren’t used to winning, won. At the same time, people who often win lost for once. The losers are throwing tantrums. Winners should take the win to heart because it truly belongs to them & no one else. My column on this remarkable grassroots mobilization in @thestar.com

#topoli New from me on @spacing.bsky.social: Against the ominous backdrop of @bradbradford’s fear-mongering & the ‘tough on crime’ messaging from Ford & Carney, the island airport victory showcases the power of positive thinking in an election year. spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

The power of positive thinking, Toronto's version - Spacing Toronto

I can’t remember a moment when split-screen politics was quite as pronounced as it is right now. Consider: On Friday, the federal Liberals put Doug Ford’s ridiculous island airport expansion nightmare...

Chris Alexander was one of the architects of the Conservative plan for a Barbaric Cultural Practices snitch line, so running for mayor of Canada’s most diverse city is certainly a choice. Fun Fact: Stephen Lecce was a Harper spokesperson at the time. Here he is weaseling out of any accountability.

You were in that role during the unveiling of the so-called barbaric cultural practices tipline. What on earth was the thinking there? My focus as a conservative is uniting our movements around economic aims. When we lose focus on that, my priority is unleashing the economic potential of individuals and small businesses.

Update: just called Ford's public fdback line & was on HOLD FOR 10 MIN. ☎️ 416-325-1941 Apparently, the line is fully staffed but it has been BUSY!! Repeated that I was appalled by ad hominem attacks & they should give back the land since Fed Min said they wouldn't incur on Little Norway Park.

Fed response, ..."we will not pursue any plans that infringe on treasured public spaces like Little Norway Park or Hanlan's Point Beach"
