At last we have a better name for it: The Two Big Beautiful Bidets Bill.
The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Does John Tory realise that if he runs again for mayor he will be opening himself up to endless questions about the incredible shrinking Smart Track? Was supposed to be 22 stations (14 new), open in 2022. Now it’s three or four new stations, open who knows when
Well now Metrolinx has removed King-Liberty from their list of ongoing projects. So glad the City of Toronto decided to defund it and dare Metrolinx to cancel it. Great work everyone.

The point is--Generative AI is being used to create fake additional content for even niche historical topics, like the exhibits within a World's Fair pavilion. These images are going to continue to get more realistic. It's dissipointing to have to add this new layer of vigilance to research.

If a historic photo comes from an unreliable or sketchy source--or you've only seen it shared social media--maybe don't share it? At present we can (mostly) tell when photos are dupes, but its going to get harder and harder.

lots of hotels put RFIDs on towels and even bed sheets; it's less about stopping guests from stealing them and more so the laundry can't lie about how many towels and sheets they sent back

Ontario mayors are worried about soaring cost of law enforcement. Doug Ford says they can’t touch police budgets
A letter from the province warned municipalities that strong mayor powers do not include the ability to limit police budget increases or veto estimates of individual line items.
