Because when I’m rushing long distances between gates, pulling heavy luggage, I always think, ‘Gee, if only I were getting exercise right now.’
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

I'm very excited about the new crossing. And after a lifetime of hearing "Patello", "Patella", "Patoolo", "Patoola", I'm extremely happy to see all of the up-front discussion about the right way to pronounce stal̕əw̓asəm.

Sometimes I stub my toe on purpose on the coffee table and then yell at the coffee table, just to see what it feels like to be a Conservative.

New hoods! I tore the old ones mucking around, so I had to get new ones. I went with white because (1) the bike’s white, (2) they were cheaper and (3) they were locally available.
Mostly because of (3), though.

Toronto's most aggressively anti-bike lane, pro-car bar, that sells "Fuck Bike Lanes" t-shirts, seen here absolutely jammed, busiest they'll ever be, because the street's pedestrianized for a weekend street festival. How did any of these people get here if they couldn't park outside the bar??

I've been eating Corn Flakes for breakfast every day for the past several weeks. I might move on to something else, but I will always have only one box open at a time.
I'm what you might call a cereal monogamist.

Sitting in the urgent care waiting area. Some of these questions are pretty interesting out of context—maybe good ice-breakers?

As an EV driver who occasionally takes advantage of this program, I fully endorse its demise. There is no need to use this to encourage EV owners anymore, when every third car seems to be a Tesla.

Remember waiting until off-peak discount hours, and even then counting every second of the call? Good times.
Heard a song from the 80s reference a "long distance call" and it occurred to me that this is a concept that no longer holds any emotional currency whatsoever
