A meetup for talking about the frontier of ai, or just vibe coding if you’re into that. Also industry gossip, hiring trends, effective altruism + predictions for the future

🎬 Let’s Go to the Movies (and Actually Talk… or Not) Whether you're a film nerd, popcorn enthusiast, or just looking for a chill night out with interesting people — this one's for you. We’re heading out to see a movie together, then grabbing food or drinks after. If the film's great (or terrible), we’ll probably talk about it forever. If it’s just okay, we’ll talk about it for 10 minutes and move on to everything else — books, dating apps, weird dreams, how Toronto keeps getting more expensive, etc. The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and not too serious. No film degree needed. No icebreakers. No pressure to “perform.” Just come enjoy the film, connect with some thoughtful people, and see where the night goes Click here to watch trailer! 🎞️ **Movie Title + Trailer:** [\[Click here to watch trailer!\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1-pfiVMKAs) 📖 **📖 Plot Summary:** Kara Zor-El is sent to Earth by her parents to be raised by her cousin Kal-El, known as Superman.

🌿☀️ SUMMER WALK TO THE EVERGREEN BRICK WORKS & MARKET ☀️🌿 Ravine Trails, Outdoor Market & One of Toronto’s Best Skyline Lookout Spots Summer is the perfect time to explore some of Toronto’s hidden green spaces — and few places feel as unique as Evergreen Brick Works. Join us for a relaxed social walk from St. Clair down through the ravine trails toward the Brick Works, where nature, history, community, and city views all come together. Even though you’re still in Toronto, parts of this walk feel surprisingly peaceful — shaded forest paths, creeks, birds, hidden trails, and eventually the old industrial buildings of the Brick Works opening up in the middle of the valley. And in the summer? The whole place comes alive. 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) *** 🚶‍♂️ What We’ll Do: We’ll begin at St. Clair Station and walk down through the ravine system toward the Brick Works together. Once there, we’ll: 🌿 Explore the outdoor market ☕ Grab drinks, snacks, or lunch 🛍️ Browse local vendors and shops 😊 Sit, relax, and socialize for a bit Afterward, we’ll continue the adventure by walking up to one of the nearby lookout spots for beautiful skyline and valley views. 📸🌆 Then we’ll slowly make our way back together. And if at any point you feel tired or want to head home early, buses run directly from the Brick Works to nearby subway stations — easy and flexible. *** 🌤️ Weather & Expectations This event happens rain or shine. Please come prepared for: ✔️ Outdoor walking trails ✔️ Some hills and stair sections ✔️ Warm summer weather ✔️ A longer walk at a relaxed pace This is more of a social nature walk than a fast-paced hike. *** 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 Meetup Location: We will meet outside St. Clair Subway Station in front of the McDonald's — look for Mathew in his iconic Moose Hat 🫎 ⏰ Meetup Time: 11:00 AM I will only wait 5 minutes. Early is on time. On time is late. 🏁 Ending Spot: Yonge & St. Clair *** 🎟️ Meetup Fee: $5 cash in person or e-transfer to 📧 **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com** This fee helps support the group and allows us to continue hosting events like this. Thank you for supporting community! 💖 *** 🎒 What to Bring 💧 Water 👟 Comfortable walking shoes ☀️ Sunscreen 🧢 Hat or sunglasses 🥨 A snack if you’d like Guests are welcome! *** 🌿 More About the Brick Works From 1889 to the 1980s, the Don Valley Brick Works was one of Canada’s most important brick manufacturing sites, helping build much of Toronto itself. Today, the restored site has become one of the city’s most beloved urban nature spaces — combining historic industrial buildings, markets, trails, gardens, and environmental spaces all in one place. It’s one of those Toronto spots that people always seem surprised they didn’t discover sooner. *** 🌈 Who Is This For? This group is open to anyone who wants to be social and make friends — whether single or not. We also host: 🎬 Movies 🚶 Walks & hikes 🎭 Arts & culture outings 🍽️ Restaurant gatherings There’s always something happening. *** 💛 REMEMBER: You can just show up — or decide on the day if you’re not 100% sure. ⚠️ NOTE: Sometimes things happen and plans may change — please keep an eye out for updates. *** 👤 Organizer: Mathew Questions? Post on the event wall or email 📧 torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com Come for the trails. Stay for the market. Leave feeling like you escaped the city for a few hours without ever leaving Toronto. 🌿✨

Two classic comedies. Two stories of disguise, performance, and what happens when identity refuses to stay neatly contained. From the sun- soaked chaos of Saint-Tropez to the rapid-fire brilliance of classic Hollywood, La Cage aux Folles and Some Like It Hot use humour to push boundaries, challenge expectations, and deliver some of the most memorable characters in film history. Smart, stylish, and still ahead of their time, this is comedy with something to say, and exactly the kind of double feature that comes alive on the big screen with a crowd! Purchase Tickets Here:

Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending. *Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.
