Great article. I can relate fully to collecting cards in the early 80s - it was for fun. I have Gretzky's 2nd year card somewhere. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

"I've waited 50 years for this apology." How Indigenous leaders and residential school survivors felt about Pope Francis's apology for the abuse in Canada's Catholic-run schools.

Spotted in Abbey's Bookshop Sydney: "The Shortest History of Economics" beating out @taylorswift13. Don't worry - she'll shake it off.
This is what Joe looked like when I first met him and how he will always look in my mind's eye. Yesterday was a sad, sad day. But, in a world that seems like it's going to hell in a handbasket, to have a legacy of making people happy is a significant accomplishment. RIP Pal!
How is it that one person can produce all of this? That person lived 500 years ago — so why hasn't humanity produced another talent like him in all the time since? 🧵
There’s a rainbow in T’ronto, where the Maritimers are bold. They always get a pot full, but they never get a pot of gold. - Stomping Tom Connors 🎥: Going Down the Road
John Candy on SCTV. “There’s always jobs in Toronto!”
In the distance, looks like a rare 7th level container stacked in #Tottenham, #Melbourne west. Happy #Easter 🐣 for those who celebrate.
The GO service expansion this April is the product of DECADES of foresight & planning. For just $160M, @Metrolinx bought the Weston sub from CN in 2009. In a few years, it’ll deliver BILLIONS in economic benefit - serving as a frequent rapid transit spine for Toronto’s West End
I’d like to take some time to appreciate the massive glow up the Kitchener line has had over the past 15 years Weston Station Before and after Strachan Avenue Before and after
On the bridge of the container ship Dali, 4 minutes from disaster, there's one critical moment we haven't heard about yet. The very moment the ship lost power the 1st time. What did the pilot do, right then? His first thought, apparently, was safety — the bridge looming ahead.…
For reference, in his PhD thesis, Bradfield described the NSW Govt's 1903 (Sydney) bridge advisory board's recommended design, with "piers in the fairway" as "inadmissible on account of navigation requirements". Discussion on span and height p128 -> ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/11…
Not sure what “value engineers” were called in the 1920s, but arguing to build the world’s biggest single span truss bridge, rather than multi span, no doubt seemed like largesse or hubris at the taxpayers’ expense to many
also consider the fact that your kid will probably never use an ATM machine
Trying to explain to my kid that when *I* had a sick day we didn’t have streaming video so I would fire up my VHS tapes of the Star Wars movies that were recordings from a linear television broadcast but take a break for “The Price is Right” and I realize I’m a million years old.
Baltimore bridge collapse is terrible, reminiscent of Derwent/ Tasman collapse in 70s. Unavoidable such long bridges have multiple spans and piers, but certainly vindicates Bradfield’s insistence of single span bridges in Sydney and Brisbane to avoid navigation hazards
Congratulations to @StephenKing on the 50th anniversary publication of Carrie, his breakthrough novel. Moi has an Introduction in it -- longer than the one in the NY Times.... (It's got Jungian analysis, tho not by me, just sayin' ....)

This video of “public transit in Finland” seems to be blowing people’s mind. Via joshlevine485.
I want to be clear: moving Roll Up The Rim To Win to an app was a betrayal. The intimacy and community of fishing a scrap of paper cup with bite marks on it from your cup holder and getting a free coffee in return was a sacrosanct. This is an insult to our nation’s traditions
