Sure, cherry blossoms are romantic, but have you tried a tandem swing? As swings get bigger and swoopier and stranger, they attract more than just kids. bloomberg.com/features/2024-…
I once thought @Google would have good enough taste to improve the architectural discourse in Toronto. Here they are vandalizing one of Chicago's most interesting buildings.

News: Toronto has made the acting head of parks @TorontoPFR, Howie Dayton, permanent. This looks like a defence of the status quo. Hopefully it is not.

IMO the biggest thing holding back mass building and development in the UK is that the last time the UK went on an enormous surge of building, they built stuff like this. Architects like this stuff, normal people hate it:
@alexbozikovic @marymargaretbey @PaulCalandra I know. That's why I said *amend* and approve.
How ‘gentle density’ measures up to the hype as cities tackle Canada’s #HousingCrisis. Canada needs about 5.8 million new homes by 2030, and one of the go-to solutions is to build more in existing neighbourhoods, by @alexbozikovic theglobeandmail.com/canada/article… via @globeandmail
Worth reading: @alexbozikovic on the same debate in other Canadian cities, as feds tie housing funds to permitting "gentle density": theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
From a visit to Great Dixter, a strange, vivid Edwardian fantasy of the 15th century and a composition based on collaging old, new, genuine, made-up and invented histories.

It's genuinely funny how badly Generation Squeeze is fumbling the number one issue among young people in Canada.
"The emphasis on increasing housing supply obscures an issue politicians are less likely to address. Namely, that we have become addicted to ever-rising home prices, largely because we've been conditioned to see our homes as financial assets." cbc.ca/news/business/…

@robotpilot So I guess, on this 5 year anniversary of the death of a magnificently glowing person, maybe try a little harder to give back a bit, to yield, to believe, to hope, to search for beauty. Life can be short, but life can be full.
This weekend is the 5th anniversary of @robotpilot's death. Life can be short, but life can be full. The past 5 years has seen trauma, but also so many opportunities to lean into love and communion. What is healing really but learning how to go on despite it all. This is me...
Every apartment complex should have a weird little landed UFO with a massage place and corner store in it.
Meanwhile when @TorontoPFR actually does “maintain” the parks, they just destroy them by driving all over them in their two and a half tonne F-150 trucks.
@alexbozikovic @TorontoPFR At last yr’s Night of Dread in Christie Pits we requested that the park address these sink holes for attendee’s safety. They did not. At the same time the City permit dept would not give us a permit to play drums for 15 mins during the giant puppet scenario. #Priorities.
People think I am exaggerating or simplifying this but I am not. Bruno and Boots misappropriate $15,000 from a charitable trust account to invest in a junior mining company because their friend’s dad has non-market information indicating it has struck a rich vein of silver.
Just reread this childhood favourite about a Toronto boarding school to my daughter and the plot turns out to revolve around an insider trading scheme tied to a silver mining stock being run out of the dorms.
@alexbozikovic You wouldn’t believe this, but I know of her.
