Good morning, Toronto ☁️

Truly incredible thread by a global security editor at Politico.

The A220 is the only plane I can very clearly hear through closed windows when YYZ arrivals pass over at 5–7,000 feet 🐋

[Josh @ThatSillyGinge]

The whale noise / Chewbacca mating call that the C Series / A220 makes is ridiculous. In my flat I cannot hear any noise of any aircraft other than that bizarre warble of those engines.

Anyone have a time machine? What a sight.

Are we going to start calling it “the T” like Boston, too? 🤔

[Reece Martin @RM_Transit]

So it appears the T signage is happening, frankly I am happy. We should have a unified transit symbol across the region.

[Matt Hintsa @MattHintsa]

A train to @TheTorngats? I’d take it.

Memories of July 2021 (but the autofocus worked that time) https://t.co/lsTuldB4PE

[Matt Hintsa @MattHintsa]

It's...uh...smoky out there. #ONwx

[Matt Hintsa @MattHintsa]

Had to use manual focus because autofocus couldn't lock on to any part of the skyline 😵‍💫 #ONSmoke

New go-to background listening? Live ATC layered over lo-fi ✈️🎶 #avgeek https://t.co/7uuShoZ7wd

[Matt Hintsa @MattHintsa]

@alumnifutures I’ve only flown on the Q400, so I consider myself lucky in that regard

[Matt Hintsa @MattHintsa]

Long live the Q400

me, but from Toronto

[Matt Hintsa @MattHintsa]

From idea to launch in under three months —practically a land speed record in higher ed.

Proud to have been a small part of the team that pulled this program together, and grateful to the students who shared their stories with me.

[U of T Department of Computer Science @UofTCompSci]

In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the @UofTCompSci community stepped into action, quickly developing and launching a summer research program that welcomed 26 Ukrainian students to Toronto over the summer months.

Wow this is a throwback

[Tropical Nick Underwood @TheTropicNick]

When I say this was the roughest flight of my career so far, I mean it. I have never seen the bunks come out like that. There was coffee everywhere. I have never felt such lateral motion.

Aboard Kermit (#NOAA42) this morning into Hurricane #Ian. Please stay safe out there.

[Matt Hintsa @MattHintsa]

@torimarzilli A day trip to Sintra from Lisbon if you can swing it! Quinta da Regaleira was my favorite, but Palacio da Pena and Castelo dos Mouros also definitely worth a visit.
