2001 to 2010 BUT
In 2018 when we got Bell Fibe for our home, it came with a bundle of TV and landline.
I know I had a landline because it was part of the bundle but I don’t even know where the connection was in the house. So unsure if it counts. I technically had it but also didn’t.
We eventually got to un-bundle and upgraded the connection to 3Gb, that was like two years ago.

If you are from #toronto and have ever wondered “I would have loved to learn ballet but maybe I’m too old now” - maybe you aren’t. The National Ballet of Canada, at Queens Quay and Spadina, has absolute beginner lessons for adults. It’s a wonderful space and community, safe and welcoming.
It’s my favourite place in Toronto and I’m glad that fucking airport won’t disturb it. I have been taking lessons there forever, I’m terrible, I love it!

Hey good morning and GOOD NEWS everyone! At least for now!
No airport expansion! The fouetées are safe! #toronto #onpoli

I was in front of the ballet studio yesterday, and I heard a plane landing at Billy Bishop. It's not too loud but it's audible.
With the airport expansion, all those fancy harbourfront condos with glass windows will have a huge, massive noise problem, possibly vibration causing windows to crack. The NBC will also have to work on their noise insulation so they can rehearse because imagine focusing on your fouetées and a jet landing RIGHT IN FRONT of the studio.

Everything you like about Billy Bishop is because it’s not a main airport.
If it becomes a large airport all of the nice things you enjoy about it (and I do too) will go away.
It’s the highway expansion illusion. “Build another lane” - then more traffic happens.

A reminder that everyone has an accent. Everyone. Just sometimes the person speaking to you has an accent different from yours and that you’re not familiar with.

2026-05-31 19:05:13 UTC

Some youtube creators have this behaviour that hits some racist tones to me - whenever they talk to someone in English and the person speaks with an accent that is not like theirs, usually a non-native speaker, they add subtitles.
You either subtitle everyone or subtitle no one, but subtitling specific people is just… bad.
And I never have any trouble with their accents so it’s even worse.

Some folks were distributing these helpful flyers on the Danforth this afternoon with a list of pro-Israel brands for people to boycott. There were also people waving Palestinian flags and “Honk for Gaza” signs. Good old #Toronto energy #boycottisrael

I bought an Autonomic chair and I dislike it.
To be fair, I never liked *any* chair I had.

I have said this before:
A lot of journalists, influencers, etc have a problem with fedi because they don’t bother understanding the format
They’re used to platforms that work like this:
- share hot take
- receive likes
The fedi works differently:
- Engage with the community
- Connect with like minded folks regularly so they see you as a peer
- Eventually share your hot take
- Get responses
- Interact
And there you have it. That’s how you make friends instead of just followers.

I don’t even TRY (not my goal in life, I use mastodon for fun) and never had a problem with “engagement”

Did you like it?
I felt like they rushed the last episode too much and dragged the previous two ones.
What shocks me was that the real story is actually more unhinged.
There was security guarding the place, they waited for security to not be there and sneaked in.
The government tried to convince the entire country it was a gas leak because there was some type of event happening in the city (I remember seeing that on TV)

I’m watching Radioactive Emergency on Netflix about the Caesium Incident in Brazil in 1987, and it’s surreal because people did actually made all those terrible decisions, sometimes even worse and Netflix kinda toned it down.

Ultra competitive behaviours, in a corporate setting, scream insecurity and lack of emotional regulation.
However, we have spent the last century rewarding ultra competitive people with leadership positions and given them a ridiculous amount of power.
Unsurprisingly, we get authoritarian bully regimes as a result.
Stop rewarding unregulated insecure people with leadership positions and promote empathetic, self assured leaders.

I started reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir - another great beach read if you are a nerd, I guess.
I basically swallowed the first three chapters lounging by the pool this morning, my first book by Andy Weir. This is great writing. It’s a long-ish book but damn, very exciting read and I am so, so into it.
