My child just told me they thought I was born "in the 1600s or something." I either look very, very good for 400 or very, very bad for my actual age.

4 of 6 stories in the GTA section of the Toronto Star are vehicle collisions, 2 of them pedestrians. Not a great look for the city.

+ women are not a special interest group! We are not homogenous! We are half the population!
That seems to be missing from the discourse every single time.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

How, exactly, do the Canadian Armed Forces deploy on operations with an ally who doesn't respect ROEs?
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

Quick reminder that fascism is almost always obsessed with the aesthetics of the male body—sculpted, uniformed, disciplined.
Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

installing some “please walk your car or truck” decals in every residential neighborhood in the city
My team and I are installing Walk Your Bike or Scooter decals across Ward 13 to make our sidewalks safer and more accessible for all. These decals help prioritize pedestrian safety, especially in high-traffic areas. Thank you to everyone for sharing their input on where to install these decals.
