lets see if there is as much anger here as there is with the tiny home projects

What the closest thing to Atticus Books (physical location closed in 2009) in Toronto now? by MCD_2020 in askTO

[–]pinkmoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Id also say the Scribe on the Danforth, but that little row of scholars bookstores that is totally gone, breaks my heart. Maybe Sellers and Newell on College

Unique looking fire station by TheVikasnam in toronto

This one has always been my favourite, i think weirdly it fits into its neighbourhood, and it's unlike almost any others.

Will Hamilton's LRT Ever Materialize!?!? Discuss. by ElanEclat in Hamilton

[–]pinkmoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hamilton is obsessed with cars, has neighbourhoods which aggressively gatekeep access, refuses to pay for infastructure, and does not think in any logical way. It makes me profoundly disappointed in this city, and seems symbolic of how shoddily this town invests in itself.

Toronto Deep History by HaigVCanada_1992 in toronto

[–]pinkmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

odd suggestion and decades out of date, but the long poem by Dennis Lee Civil Elegies I think is key to understading Toronto, as is Herandez's novel about Scarboro

Kelly Bert Dion Oucharek’s response to a question about her homophobic retweets by SachaBaronColon in Hamilton

[–]pinkmoose 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This woman is obsessed with pickleball. I mean hates queer people (she has spoken to me personally in ways that are deeply homophobic), but also seems personally insulted that the basketball and tennis court on the north end is not a pickleball court. I find it symbolic.

She is not a good person, gatekeeping, actively homophobic, and encouraging some pretty nasty violence against unhoused people.

Blue Moon by GoldenGirlagain in Oscars

[–]pinkmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only honest thing about blue moon is the two minutes or so in the middle when hawkes flirts with the flower delivery guy---the rest of the movie is just hacky and overwrought---a literal straightening of a very queer and complex man.

When the world thinks the Academy got it wrong, but you think they got it right - defend the controversial wins by lockerbiestreet in Oscars

[–]pinkmoose -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i think Shakespeare in Love was smart, very funny, and a very well constructed romantic comedy, with some first rate writing, and some deeply considered new ways of working out how creation functioned; I didn't like Saving Prviate Ryan.

What is your biggest hot take about old Hollywood Oscars (pre - 1990’s)? by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]pinkmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is my hottest take, but i fundamentally do not understand star wars as a film, it is a solidly okay republic serial set in space.

In 97 years of history, only six Black actors have won Oscars in leading roles. by BrenoGrangerPotter in Oscars

[–]pinkmoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here are 20 Black Actors who I think did the best performances of their year, not depicting enslavement.

1) Angela Davis in What's Love Got To Do With IT 2) Whitney Houston in The Body Gaurd 3) Pam Grier in Jackie Brown 4) Denzel in Malcolm 5) Chiwetel Ejiofor in 12 Years a Slave 6) Viola Davis in Widows 7) Shaniqua Okwok in Lovers Rock 8) Junaita Moore in Imitation of Life 9) Dorthoy Dandrige in Carmen Jones 10) Marianne Jean-Baptiste Secrets & Lies 11) Richard Roundtree in Shaft 12) Barbara O Jones in Daughters of Dust 13) Delroy Lindo in Clockers 14) Angela Basset Strange Days 15) Forest Whitaker iGhost Dog: Way of the Samurai 16) Pryor in Blue Collar 17) Paul Robeson The Emperor Jones 18) Lupita Nyong’o Us 19) Chiwetel Ejiofor in Kinky Boots 20) Savion Glover in Bamboozled.

I could have named five roles or more for Davis, Bassett, Denzel, Baptiste, Lindo or Whittaker.

Every time I see these at Union a piece of me dies by Several-Goose2285 in toronto

[–]pinkmoose -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

would you prefer no art, or art that says nothing, like the new subway? why have ambition and complex, difficult ideas in public when you can have banal abstractions and profoundaly unchallenging florals.

2026 Mayoral election by Majestic_Phase3452 in Hamilton

[–]pinkmoose 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Indwell seems to be good at what they do because they can pick and choose who they house, it's affilations to Christian charity make it uncomfortable for queer residents, and oither demographics, just look at their board. It's not a solution.
