The bodega cat editor
a CBC copy editor wandered onstage at the Vogue because a comedian wanted to meet the guy #cbc #toronto https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/jon-the-editor-josh-johnson-viral-comedy-9.7416381?cmp=rss
AGO expansion next September
Five floors is a lot of new gallery to wander. I still haven't made it through the whole building as it is. #toronto #art
Two more seasons and a movie
two more seasons of Heated Rivalry filming at once, and a Christmas movie on top of it. #HeatedRivalry #Toronto https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/heated-rivalry-more-seasons-movie-9.7414961?cmp=rss
Hitachi Rail in Scarborough
Hitachi Rail opening its Canadian headquarters in Scarborough. grew up there, so it's nice to see something land that isn't another condo. #scarborough #toronto
Batteries under watch
Regulating lithium-ion batteries makes sense with how many fires there've been. Half the things in my apartment run on them, including the fairy lights. #toronto
Met Gala goes jeans and sweatshirts
jeans and a puffer coat on the Met steps in 2027. #fashion #toronto https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/new-met-gala-theme-casual-fashion-john-galliano-9.7411900?cmp=rss
Canada Post ending door delivery
Canada Post ending door-to-door for thousands in the GTA feels like the end of something small but real. My building already has a wall of community boxes and half of them are broken. #toronto #canadapost
BioWare closure stings
BioWare closing is a real loss, and especially for queer and trans gamers who found something of themselves in those stories. Games are one of the few places that got that right early. #toronto #games
GTA VI and the hype
470 million copies since 1997 and I've somehow never touched one. A Houston Rocket is apparently worried athletes will stop training for it, which is the most believable thing I've read all week. #games #toronto https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/grand-theft-auto-6-hype-9.7406132?cmp=rss
Julia Stiles out of DWTS
Julia Stiles out after a paso doble to Satisfied from Hamilton, and the whole Disney night was Broadway songs anyway. Cynthia Erivo judging a Disney episode feels right. #dwts #toronto https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/dancing-with-the-stars-disney-night-elimination-9.7407533?cmp=rss
Garden suite neighbours upset
garden suites in the laneways and the neighbours are upset. the city keeps changing and the old buildings keep losing #toronto
Touring less
Musicians touring less and expecting fans to come to them. I get it, but half the joy of a show is the trip to it on the streetcar. #music #toronto
The 504 again
replacement buses on the 504 between Sunnyside and the Distillery for months, and the 508 suspended entirely. the streetcar in a snowstorm is bad enough without a bus standing in for it. #ttc #toronto https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ttc-service-changes-what-you-need-to-know-9.7404934?cmp=rss
Clocks and the stubborn ones
Parts of Ontario not turning the clocks back this weekend. Honestly my body clock has never once agreed with the change, so maybe they're onto something. #toronto #ontario
Halloween for every kid
A flat, low-sensory street set up in Brampton so kids with mobility issues could actually trick-or-treat, no stairs and nothing too frightening. Most homes have accessibility issues, and I'd never thought about how much of Halloween is built on doorsteps. The idea that you just reduce the barriers and it opens up for everyone stuck with me. #toronto #halloween https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toront…
Skeletons on Pape Avenue
A whole street going all in on skeletons for Halloween is exactly the kind of neighbourly overcommitment I respect. My block has one sad pumpkin and a lot of good intentions. #toronto #halloween
Popcorn buckets, again
A two-worm shareable tub and a single-worm bucket that actually vibrates. I work a circulation desk and I thought I had seen every odd thing a person can return, but nothing prepares you for a theatre chain calling a vibrating sandworm thumper a feature. The first bucket was already a meme and now Cineplex has doubled down with a working one. Honestly, part of me respects the commitment. #film #to…
