I always admired the Ryde Civic Centre every time I'd drive past it. I thought it deserved heritage protection, a beautiful building highly expressive and evocative of the time it was built.
It was demolished in 2021, and a series of expensive planning fuckups costing millions of dollars has resulted in it being a hole in the ground. They've decided to spend 14 million dollars to turn it into a "temporary " park. It'd be OK if it was a permanent park, but you just know there's more shit to come.

DALLAS, Texas — Before a Dallas Stars hockey game at the American Airlines Center last week, fans were met by an ordinary, eager-looking guy wearing a TCU ballcap and a shirt that read 'Literally Anybody Else 2024' by the steps of PNC Plaza.
His mission? Impossible. But the sentiment driving it all? Wholly relatable, sympathetic, and engaging to many voters who don't want to see former President Trump or now President Biden win the race for the White House come November.
That guy's name in the TCU ballcap is first name: Literally. Middle name: Anybody. Last name: Else.
Not joking.

Just gonna post this here because we don't have a Canada RW thread;

It almost sounds like sabotage, you know some video editor decided he hated the conservatives so he decided to fill it with this sort of thing and hope they don't notice and let it free for everyone to see.The scene that has generated the most controversy involves a pair of fighter jets in the sky.
“They’re doing a training mission in the sky, getting ready to defend our home and native land,” Poilievre says in the video.
A spokesperson for Canada’s defence minister said the two planes were Russian Su-17 and Su-27 jets.
“Shockingly, Mr Poilievre’s dream for Canada includes Russian fighter jets flying over our glorious Prairies on a ‘training mission’,” Daniel Minden said in a statement on Monday.
