I remember the line. It ran diagonal to the grain of the library’s hardwood floor. It escapes me whether the line was black paint or black electrical tape back in the ’80s and ’90s, but it’s tape today—scuffed and trodden upon, as though it were just some line to be stepped on that didn’t matter very much. Which it is. Or was, anyway.

Ontario is about to have an election. Is it necessary? No. Does that matter right now? Probably not.

I wish I had a picture of it, but we’re always driving by too quickly, and there’s nowhere to stop safely, so a description will have to do:It’s on Highway 11, in Ontario’s Muskoka area. An old abandoned gas station, closed and boarded up, waiting for years now for expropriation by the government when it gets around to adding lanes on the highway. Tall weeds growing between cracks in the concrete, random construction junk piled to the side. And graffiti, often changing but ever present.

t is truly sad that I can basically comment on the politics of today solely through game of thrones gifs but I’m gonna just do it. This will be an occasionally updated thread starting tonight. https://t.co/Xd0Zm2oVR7
RT @palmerla: Hmmm. I haven't had a favourite economist since I left Uni. But now I do. 🙏 to @JimboStanford for joining Jordan @TheGameS…
And then you get this stuff, and if he makes it to the majors this year and gets shelled, guess what accounts like this will tweet? The thing I miss least in sports are “fans” who just hate their own team. https://t.co/uWLwSM0WBj
Top Blue Jays pitching prospect Trey Yesavage en route to double-A and will start for New Hampshire later this week, per industry source. He dominated A-ball levels and now gets roughly half the season to face better competition.
