Ursula Franklin summarized it as such:
“…we have lost the institution of government in terms of responsibility and accountability to the people. We now have nothing but a bunch of managers, who run the country to make it safe for technology.”

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Transit City. Relief Line. Eglinton West Subway. Scarborough LRT. They were all proposed, then cancelled or rewritten. That is first-past-the-post at work.
With proportional representation long term projects survive elections, and the city would have a much stronger network today.

In our night sky there is a dark band that runs through the Milky Way, known as the Great Rift. This darkness is where the stars of our galaxy are obscured by vast clouds of interstellar dust and geese … er, gas.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.
Disney is making a $1 billion investment in OpenAI and will let the AI platform use its characters to make social-media videos.

They could’ve bankrupted OpenAI in lawsuits. Instead, they’re adopting OpenAI APIs and giving them a billion dollars.

Good recap of an infuriating TTC board meeting. The incompetence and incuriosity of TTC and city staff on full display.
The TTC Board discussed the Finch LRT opening and problems at its meeting today, Dec. 10. My comments: stevemunro.ca/2025/12/10/t...

A very good thread on how we can improve Toronto’s streetcars and LRTs
None of these changes require megaprojects. They’re operational and technical choices—but they can transform the rider experience.
Faster trips don’t just make transit more appealing. They free up vehicles and operators, effectively increasing frequency at no added cost.
