Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection. In the main space, a water-based cloud enveloping people. That was super fun and was the occasion to make some great photos.

One reason why I like cathedrals is the amount of detail they have. We don't build these kinds of constructions anymore.

This is Montreal, Summer 2026 → Superb neighborhood and typical near McGill university. This picture was taken during a long bike ride in the morning. More photos coming. Follow the trail.
I just came across Moments through a post by Manton. I spent a few moments on... Moments' website, and I really like what I'm seeing. My brain is now in find-a-use-case-for-this-asap mode. 😅 Glass is still my go-to place for sharing my best images. Trails, a custom-built solution for sharing check-ins, fits one very specific need and somewhat covers what Moments covers. I like to support great initiatives like Moments even if there might not be a use case for it. Still pondering. 💭 https://www.moments.im/
In today's announcements, Apple provided a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the Mac mini short film. I think it's interesting that the artists are working on physical animations instead of digital ones. Apple also did this with the new Apple TV opening sequence. https://9to5mac.com/2026/08/25/apple-shares-behind-the-scenes-video-for-its-fun-new-mac-mini-ad/
This is Montreal, Summer 2026 → Saw this great bell tower reflecting sunset light, or golden hour light, now part of Montreal well-known university building, named UQAM. Follow the trail.
Came across Bubbles.town yesterday and started exploring it. Is it a clone of Hacker News? I'll let you judge. Meanwhile, I'm contemplating creating an account, just for fun. It's nice and light, and apparently genuinely honest. https://bubbles.town/

@numericcitizen The same kind of carelessness is what me and my wife with her iPad Pro, purchased years ago instead of a laptop, to be used on her construction sites in the renovation of apartments. Nowadays it is used for the rare browsing shopping session on clothing websites and primarly by my son watching YouTube and making some school stuff.
@numericcitizen Carney (and Sanchez from Spain) have my complete admiration. Let’s hope somebody else takes the courage to stand up against that orange-aired clown
@numericcitizen I agree 100%.
Also, did you find an alternative to EchoFeed so far?
@numericcitizen I was referring to Mark Carney explaining the origin of the name Lake Ontario.
