In 2026, I will care for the people I love and meet my responsibilities with integrity, without taking responsibility for other people’s emotions.

I am begging any company that operates a phone contact number, to test how their hold music sounds over a cell phone.

The agony that is trying to watch your favourite Christmas special with your youngest child, and realizing they will not stop talking long enough for either of you to enjoy it.

Apple seems determined to make the Apple TV experience miserable on my Google TV by logging me out every other time I try to access the app.

Amping up the Christmas nostalgia sensory experience to 11 for today's realtor showing. This shit's got to sell.

Proposal: we allow wrap ads on buses and trains for car dealerships, but only if all the cars they sell get window-blocking wrap ads for GRT.

I will admit, when my kids were little, I once boarded a bus without paying. I was so distracted by the stroller that I didn't process what the bus driver was saying to me until I sat down, and they'd obviously decided to let it pass. I made sure to pay at my next transfer.

Region considers adding fare inspector to buses A staff report is recommending the Region expand its fare inspector program to GRT buses to recoup $1M in lost revenue.

With single door boarding, how do you even get on a bus without paying? Or are we finally getting articulated buses? kitchener.citynews.ca/2025/11/18/r...

Kitchener city hall is already a miniaturized replica of Toronto city hall. A miniaturized Boston city hall wouldn't be brutalism, it'd be a-bit-toughism.

I question the utility of 100 micron precision on precipitation, let alone the confidence that precision implies.

The case for automated speed enforcement around schools is clear and there is widespread support among parents, hospitals, experts, police, etc.

Once again, it’s disheartening to see Kitchener mayor @berryonline.bsky.social on the wrong side of this issue.
