I cannot emphasise enough: IMAX’s extra space is for IMMERSION, not information. Being able to see the entire ratio at once on a small screen is stupid because in a real IMAX theatre, this space covers your whole peripheral vision

A new residential skyscraper has set a North American record, becoming the tallest building in Canada – and it's not even finished yet. Named the Pinnacle SkyTower, it will rise to an impressive...

Student hotspots: BC students often stop in the McElroy campus bookstore, and venture beyond The Heights for food at spots like Circle Pizza or recently-opened Pop Up Bagels.

Well that didn’t last long.
An earlier version of this article included "student hotspots" for each school, drawn from Lyft data on popular student destinations. This information has been removed following feedback that the locations did not accurately reflect student culture.

At the #NCCI2025 conference at George Tech. I took a tour of their student center yesterday, and the guide kept mentioning “the institute.” I almost asked him what that was until I looked up the school on Wikipedia and realized that was the name of the university.

I think the #RecessionIndicator that bugs me the most is that basically all stores now restock and clean during regular business hours.

I really enjoyed the recent @Freakonomics Radio series about rats. I kept thinking of this Simpsons scene whenever they mentioned New York City: youtu.be/2ZgtEdFAg3s

I gave in to the discount and signed up for X Premium with half the ads. I immediately noticed that 50% ads is indistinguishable from 100% ads. I have no doubt there really are fewer ads, I think it’s just psychology thing—my feed (and mind) are either interrupted by ads or not.
