That movie made me nostalgic for the always crowded, either too hot or too cold, rained on the inside, Toronto Streetcars. Boy did I love them.
An old style Toronto red streetcar passing the lit storefront of Honest Ed’s at dusk.

Cover of People magazine crowning Jonathan Bailey as the sexiest man alive. It’s a photo of him surrounded by ocean waves with only his head and shoulders above water. The font and kerning of the title “sexiest man alive” is all messed up.

I got one of those!
A very large red apple shaped building - yes, a building - with writing on it that says “the big apple”. The sky is blue with clouds.

Seems relevant
Arrested Development with the Funkes debating an open marriage. It asks “What if we got interviewed by Isaac Chotiner? Well did it work for those people? No, it never does. I mean, these people delude themselves into thinking it might, but… But it might work for us”

How many of almost this exact picture do I have? Dozens. Possibly 100. I’ve seen visiting players and coaches take this photo too. It’s a magnificent stadium. Best city on earth.
The inside of the Skydome with the CN Tower rising just beyond. The dome is open and the sky is blue. Skydome on Pride night. There is a Pride flag on the field. The CN Tower was a rising behind.

I think my kid has a crush on Ernie Clement, who she calls Ryan Gosling, so I sent her this photo from yesterday. She replied “Oooooooo”.

This works. Only took $11 of quarters. I’d probably have gotten it sooner if I hadn’t mixed up all the names and pronouns for all of the kids and all of the cats.
A jar of buttons that we transitioned to quarters labelled (deadname’s) they/them jar

I suppose the only problem here is that the soldiers were fighting Nazis
British soldiers in skirts operating a very large gun. Apparently they were interrupted during a drag show and stopped to shell Nazis.

Watch as this ICE agent almost shoots his dick off
A man wrestling another man on the ground. He is wearing a vest that says Police Ice. He is shoving his gun into he belt directly at his crotch. This area is circled in red. Video says it is by Ralphi Talisman in Hayattsville
