So tired of seeing missed ball/strike calls, and players, mgrs, umps bickering over the calls. @mlb.com, bring on the automatic ball-strike system. #roboump #strikezone #umpires #baseball

Typical #Toronto #traffic at Jarvis and Front streets: drivers blocking crosswalks. Bring on the #boxblocking traffic cameras. @mayoroliviachow.bsky.social

If you're interested in space exploration, but also the history of photography and landscape photography, don't miss Planetfall at TMU's Image Centre, a collection of astonishing images created by Michael Benson using raw data from NASA space probes. Closes Apr 5th! #TorontoMetropolitanUniversity

Typical scene at Esplanade and Jarvis. Cars blocking crosswalk, including senior w mobility issues and parent w two kids and stroller. We need traffic agents here. Better yet, traffic cameras. Better yet, fewer cars! #congestionpricing #toronto #mayorchow #ausmamalik #stlawrencemarket

Another year of writing about #UofT #UofTArtSci science comes to a close. I learned so much writing about undersea hydrothermal vents, the "Kevin Bacon" gene in fruit flies, how climate change affects cities, merging supermassive black holes, and more. www.artsci.utoronto.ca/news-author-...

The #NobelPrize for #GeoffreyHinton is well deserved. But we need to stop using the term "Godfather of AI." "Godfather..." is a gendered term that can't be used for women. So, no matter what a woman achieves, she will never attain that status. There will be "Godfathers" and everyone else. #AI
