A wild choice from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as he arrives at the Rogers Centre in a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. Clearly some thinking behind it — but not exactly the Game 7 history you want to be replicating tonight. Just four hours away now.

I‘m really starting to believe Canada are going to do it. It’s so exciting.

This is what the current signage looks like on much of Bank Street. When people propose adding temporary bus lanes, ask them where we're going to put the extra signage for those hours? And who is going to bother reading all of this to somehow decode what any of it means. K.I.S. Keep It Simple...

the need for the inclusion of the graphic is a sad reminder of the shockingly low literacy rate among geese

I have been logged out of my toothbrush.

We managed to get some data from the survey of the Bank Street Transportation Study. It's very clear that most responders want less space for parking, and more space for better transit!

Can’t stop thinking about the fact that the Shinkansen has been around for over 6 DECADES, connecting dozens of cities across a mountainous, earthquake-ridden country, while the best the US can manage is a single line with an average speed that’s just over half as fast at a fraction of the frequency

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,164,205!

One of the weirdest things about getting older is feeling nostalgia for times you didn’t even like.

Lobsters are the mermaids of scorpions

Honda Fit owners (including me) are universally delighted with their car. I feel like someone could engineer a meetup or fan club based on this.

Radical idea? Make cycling a viable option for people who -aren’t gearheads -don’t care about the “joy of riding” -aren’t aiming to set personal time trial records -prefer street clothes that are neither skintight nor the color of traffic cones -are conflict-averse -also like to drive
