  Remember back in December when that runner beat the new Line 6 LRT? This time Line 6 won. #TTC #Metrolinx #transit #toronto #TOPoli #Line6Finch

  Being near the ocean is funny. 24°, feels like 34°, and our boat tomorrow to go fishing may not be safe due to winds.

  My favourite thing is when transit advocates forget they’re on the same team and attack each other, and the right wing politicians continue blocking better transit the entire time. It’s totally working guys.

  Ahahaha this is rich. How dare politician A make political decision, says politician B. « The move [cancelling island airport expansion] blindsided Queen's Park. Ford and Carney, who have enjoyed warm relations since the prime minister succeeded Justin Trudeau in March 2025, had even shaken hands to informally seal the deal at the premier's Etobicoke home.” "It's Billy Bishop for Alto, that was always the understanding," said one insider, referring to the federal governme...

  Is it elite projection when you want to bus to the airport to show up instead of just staying parked for ten minutes past the digital screen time. asking for a frustrated husband.

  “The internet: -is a social environment structured to ensure everyone gets their dumbest beliefs validated, no matter how flagrantly those beliefs fly in the face of fact or expertise -has slowly become the main environment for all modern social interaction Consequently society has gone insane.” 1/4 from Will Stancil on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/whstancil.bsky.social/post/3mrht4gnx5c2f

  Wealthy idiots don’t know what scientists do, so they fire them. Then people get sick. Sometimes I think every issue is either racism, sexism, or feeling dumb.

  Good news: the federal Minister of Transport issued a statement which reads as a ‘no’ on expanding Billy Bishop airport. Comically, it was only posted to the white supremacist site. So unless you have an account you can’t read it. 1/2 #TOPoli #ONPoli #CDNPoli

  Wow. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did they improve, but ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Post: https://www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-stoves-asthma Study: https://www.jaci-inpractice.org/article/S2213-2198(26)00537-4/fulltext

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@scalzi/116968541476805915 If you use AI tools, an important piece of advice I would give you is to not make it a vital link in any process chains, because *the tool you use is going to disappear due to cost*. Plan for after the crash, not just the top of this (ridiculous) wave. If you don’t use AI tools, you’re probably not in need of my advice; carry on.

  Steve Munro does what neither the TTC nor influencers seem to be doing: examining streetcar lines by segment to find slowdowns to focus on, down to individual bad intersections (looking at you, King & Cherry). https://stevemunro.ca/2026/07/20/how-slow-is-my-streetcar-i/ #TOPoli #Transit

  There’s a point in this performance which 100% of the time lead me to tear up. Just thinking about them can make me shiver. “We may not reach the ending, But we can start.” Which song does that for you? https://youtu.be/hiaSle49Ros?is=tuy_Ut_NWJlihj6L

  Flying in hot weather in Chicago, you hear unusual things. Pilot just announced “in order to accommodate everybody today we’re just going to burn off a little extra fuel, so you’re going to hear the engines spool up, it’ll be about five minutes.”

  The City reduced parking and restricted left turns on Dundas to improve 505 Dundas streetcar consistency, and it worked. It's 5 minutes faster, and ridership is increasing. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2026/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-288607.pdf h/t @dylanreid@mstdn.ca #TOPoli #Transit

  “Learning What Substance Is Suspected of Causing Alzheimer’s May Throw You Into an Existential Crisis” [if you like vehicles with rubber tires] “New research by a team in China discovered an alarming link between a chemical commonly found in tires and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. The chemical, called 6PPD-Q, is formed when fine tire particles meet ozone. That happens anytime new chunks of tire are exposed to the air, meaning the particle may be nearly ubiquitous in car-heavy environments.”...

  When I was a little kid, I feel like I understood all the construction equipment. Now I feel like I don’t understand any of the construction equipment, and this is for building a subway, so I feel like I should understand what I’m looking at.

  RE: https://flipboard.com/@ctvnews/montreal-krl74nssz/-/a-ZDzrrpImRJyoWaQiQq5rRg%3Aa%3A2823982346-%2F0 I love that the statement from the airport implies this was all part of the plans: "Flight AC774 ... landed normally at Montreal International Airport, then sustained a runway excursion and travelled through the grass when exiting the main runway".
