This picture is in essence the state of Toronto. A once world class city. Clunky sprawling 500sqft condo developments at $2300/unit/month. An arterial highway build next to a river, in a flood plain. Longest commute in North America. Among the highest costing in the world. Vast sub-grade infrastructure in need of repair and replacement (sections at 60-100yrs old). No notable transportation infrastructure improvements since the 1980s.
In comparison actual world class cities have: multi-levels of traffic, pedestrian use, transit use. High speed rails, bullet trains. State of the art underground infrastructure, waste water treatment and storm water management. Lower levels of all buildings used exclusively as markets, small businesses, cafes, grocery stores. Sprawling urban cityscapes - featuring trees, gardens, entertainment areas, walking and biking only streets.
What if I told you that myself and the other two ‘white’ players pictured here are the sons of immigrants as well?
This is Canada. Our strength is in our diversity and it is what makes our country so special - not tragic. 🇨🇦
The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.
"All the guys sitting, resting. That's the only thing I probably don't like. Just play, man. If you 80%, you gotta play. I don't like all the sitting, missing games stuff. These people might have enough money to come to one game. And that might be the game they come to and you sitting out."

they say “how to turn your side hustle into your main source of income” because it’s less dystopian than saying “how to use your hobbies to afford food”
