This is fascinating!
A female wolf has been doing something unusual on the Central Coast of British Columbia. She's learned to pull crab traps up from the water, yanking on a rope to bring it to the surface. But is it tool use? Very fun story from @phiejacobs.bsky.social for @science.org
Have wild wolves learned to use tools?

The Raptors should sign him for just the fashion videos he and Garrett Temple would make.

Uhh, guys, FYI, your Toronto Raptors are in first place after tonight’s win. I know, if you’re like me, you may still be in your Blue Jays denouement. When you’re ready the winter sports lads may be your salve. Look for similarities! Not expected to win! Using the whole bench! They’re fun!

I love Toronto but the fact that permitting convenience stores in residential neighbourhoods is an actual debate reminds me of how incredibly conservative the city is. Like, are people okay?

Q - Why, given all the terrible things happening in the world, do people care about this?

A - Micro-analysis: They see it as an example of government overreach and bureaucratic cruelty towards an independent farm. Macro-analysis: The world is getting dumber every day.

The rehabilitation of Poilievre’s unabashedly garbage image begins. Good grief, polling is such a dumpster fire of industry. What happened to the PCs these last days is VERY RARE, but hey, let’s just shoulder-shrug it, right? (If this happened to Singh’s NDP 2yrs ago, he’d have never lived it down.)

Man, it’s gonna be a rough year for Siakam. He’s losing a year of prime play (age 31 season). I feel for our champ, especially after a big run to the finals. The Pacers will get a nice lottery pick out of it, but this year will suck for him.
Sad fact: Injury-ravaged Indiana’s 1-12 start is the worst for a team that reached the prior season’s NBA Finals since Milwaukee’s 1-12 start in 1974-75.

That other Toronto team from the summer & fall, that we love, were also good at comebacks.
Raptors were 2-45 when going down by 10 or more last season.

They came back from down 10 tonight, their fourth double-digit comeback win this season.

Raptors are 4-5 when trailing by 10.

Ford has been on a conservation authority hunt for six years. It’s wonky enough that Ontario won’t care (because they seem to care about … not much when it comes to this govt) but profound negative impact. On and on.

It’s time for Toronto to become a province. There’s been more than enough being jerked around by Ford and clearly the rest of the province doesn’t care at all about its capital city. We need to start playing hardball & make the motions necessary to be our own province.

The Ford government has proposed legislative changes that would give the province control over Toronto's city-owned Exhibition Grounds, and one opposition member is calling the move a “land grab."

Last years was the best by far and should be their permanent road jersey.
Looking at the Raptors’ City Edition jersey history! From the resurgence of the iconic dino to OVO-inspired golden trims, which one was your favourite? 🦖⤵️

It’s about time. I think even the lay person (like me!) can understand that a mid-production jet coming with lower costs & reliability is a good choice.

Also, can we get that new factory to build us some fresh Saab 900s?

This creates an information weapon, but it’s only useful if they wield it. When the Ford gov says no, they need to blast it out loud. The people are continually getting screwed by the provincial gov…if city council can’t say it, then don’t be there.
Chow's motion requesting the province cover the full cost of crossing guards, police officers, and road safety improvements previously paid for by speed camera revenue CARRIES 25-0.

Please councillor, enlighten me on the complexity.

Signed, resident of Toronto (you’d call it downtown even tho it’s not), but also formally of Etobicoke, Markham and Scarborough (north and south!).
"The rage-baiting is really nauseating," says Councillor Parthi Kandavel. "The idea or the implication that we're against kids getting ice cream or seniors getting a cappuccino, it's troubling. That insinuation that some of us are knuckle-dragging suburbanites ... it doesn't reflect the complexity."
November 13, 2025 at 9:25 PM
I maintain my idea that every neighbourhood in Toronto should have a 3-person, mini, local council. They’d get a $1m budget to spend on most anything they wanted. Not sure shop allowances should be their purview, but small similar things maybe. Live public input (votes?). More sanding of the grain.
"Some members of council have said there are two Torontos: downtown and the suburbs. And that's not true," says Perks. "There aren't two Torontos — there's one Toronto, with 200 neighbourhoods." He says this process required "fine-grained work" to meet the needs of those neighbourhoods.
November 13, 2025 at 9:01 PM
LMAO…where exactly in his ward is there any retail, at all, near housing? The only possible place would be inside an apartment building. And ten bucks the tenants would k1ll you if tried to ban that shop.
Councillor Jamaal Myers says some people want nieghbourhood retail, but others might "already have enough retail. And they don't want to live next to a convenience store, and that's perfectly OK as well."
November 13, 2025 at 8:56 PM
Honestly, is every councillor malfunctioning? His problem is Brimley Road retail? His stretch is ALL FENCES. The ends of backyards. No place to stop a car. Nobody walks. Who would open any shop there??

What a waste of time & money. Performative nonsense.
