It’s your city, from the sidewalk to the skyline. The David Dinkins Municipal Building’s rooftop is open & free to everyone, starting this June.
Leaked consultant's report at Queen's University points to a push to massively downsize the humanities and social sciences as well as the eradication of disciplinary based departments. I wouldn't be surprised if my university has the same consultants.

More public restrooms across our city?
Relief for all New Yorkers.
On the $3/meal thing: I went through a weird period where I tried to be really frugal and would try to limit my grocery budget to $50/week. I am single and educated. It was really hard and ultimately something I gave up, because it made me miserable.
Selon une étude de Re/Max, 75 % des Québécois voient la maison unifamiliale en banlieue ou en campagne comme la résidence idéale. Or, ils ignorent que leur vision mène à la perte de terres agricoles et à l'étalement urbain.
Mesdames et messieurs, le SPVM.
Des budgets records année après année, ça donne ça : tous les mangeurs de beignes à 10km à la ronde accourent pour se désennuyer de leur basic bullying, tellement excités qu'ils se rentrent dedans en char, s'autopoivrent et tirent tout croche. Cue la 🎵 de Benny Hill.
Trump's obsession with making Greenland part of the United States because it looks big on a map and is colored differently from the states is a classic case of Mercator Projection
Mastodon is a lot more fun
Inclusionary zoning is a way of transfering the cost of social housing from the general public to new condo buyers.
In some circumstances it might just be the cost of doing business. But it's not especially progressive.

A large share of public transit accidents are actually car accidents.
Was it really worth doubling the cost to bury the buses 3 stories underground, where they might never end up going?
You've gotta stop hating on TO. It's logo is 70s/80s, in other words when the city was truly born. It's authentic and it's starting to age nicely
Let me tap my debit card already
N'est-ce pas une possibilité qu'ils essayaient simplement de traverser?

Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there.

Yes transit app always ftw
I think it's actually more of: people move around and some cities are a lot more popular than others.
New: A judge in Washington has ruled images from Flock surveillance cameras are public records and that anyone can request them. Highlights the pervasiveness of this tech and just how much surveillance is being done. Very notable ruling

This account is very instructive of the fucked up incentives on Meta platforms, and how Facebook pushes this kind of content and literally pays for it.
For the last ~8 months, it has been posting AI immigration slop
