I wrote about why guys are obsessed with Master and Commander, 20 years later. Thanks to @AlexYablon, @willmenaker, @davidgross_man, @rachelmillman, @nandorvila, former Fox chairman Tom Rothman, and the legend Peter Weir for their thoughts. gq.com/story/master-and-comm…

It's so stupid that Toronto looks like this. You either have a fortune to own a house or pay to rent a box in a highrise (also a fortune) because the city was worried about loose women filling three storey walk-ups 110 years ago. Dumbest hick town on the planet.

John Tory committed other transgressions but it’s interesting to me that a sexual one is what he resigns for. It tells me “crosses the line” is understood when it means “offends (white) middle class sensibilities”.

On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵

Watching this segment wanted to make me tear my eyes out. I am more and more convinced that most mayors and councillors:
1. Have not actually read #Bill23.
2. Are either deliberately spreading misinformation or do not understand housing economics.
Let's bust some myths. 🧵
To spur housing development, the Ontario government's Bill 23 housing bill reduces development charges to incentivize building starts. But tonight mayors @_JohnTaylor and @DorothyMcCabe tell @spaikin why they don't think that will work. At 8/11pm | Producer: @carastern #onpoli

It would be cool if just once they framed it like “billionaire rail owners refuse to give people sick days, so workers voted against a tentative contract…”
WATCH: Workers at the largest U.S. rail union voted against a tentative contract deal, raising the possibility of a year-end strike that could cause significant damage to the U.S. economy and strand vital shipments of food and fuel reut.rs/3VfOvoc

It has been my life's work to build walkable, bikeable, liveable cities that promote good health for people of all ages and abilities. My volunteers agree. On October 24, a safe Toronto is on the ballot. Learn more and plan to vote at gilformayor.ca #ToPoli #Gil4Mayor

Pushing the next Canadian election to 2025 means an increase in Gen Z voters and decrease Boomer voters.
The stage is set for a populist who appeals to Gen Z, a generation almost entirely excluded from the housing economy, indefinitely.

when they ask in a few years how the European fascist militias going after minority/immigrant communities got their weapons, what will the NYT columnists write.

I understand people looking for outs when trying to figure out why some other group deserves to be shut down or politically marginalized, etc.
But looking elsewhere than "Their position is wrong and the world would be better if they lost" will get you all contorted!

bro i’m straight up not having a good time.jpg thinking about how some people genuinely think a group of people who can afford to take 2+ weeks off and drive across the country are a largely working-class movement

Having done my best to piss off a lot of people on this website one thing that stands out is how people who are accustomed to driving their car everywhere have never even really given car culture any thought.
Like, no part of it.
