Way to go? A protest over TTC signs shows what Toronto transit stations could look like TTCriders held a demonstration in the early morning cold outside of King Station on Friday.

It's amazing how TTC can take down activists' signs showing better wayfinding in hours when their own outdated signs stay posted for months, even years. www.thestar.com/news/gta/way... @ttcriders.bsky.social

I really enjoyed @chrislhayes.bsky.social’s book The Siren’s Call. We spoke about attention as a finite resource, fame and his own mixed feelings about being a player in the attention economy, and Jenny Odell’s How To Do Nothing. And what Donald Trump wants with Canada. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Really appreciated this conversation with Matt Galloway of the CBC. We got to talk about tuberculosis, the implications of defunding USAID, and the future of the disease in a world where human health is not being prioritized.

Most side streets and alleys have also run out of places to put the snow that people have shovelled. Will be a mess when people have to dig out to go to work on Tuesday.
