"According to Edwards’ data, 75% of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never)... And a full 35% of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less."

"Can you confirm—legally, philosophically, or forensically—that the ship you’re making a claim about is the same ship that your policy covers?"

We need a vehicle weight tax. If you can justify buying an $80k, 3,000 kg Wagoneer to haul one bag of groceries, taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing your pavement wear and tear plus the added danger to our streets.

Emmy Noether was born #OTD in 1882. She made groundbreaking advances in abstract algebra, but is probably best known for her eponymous theorems articulating the deep connection between symmetries and conserved quantities in physics. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 Image: Public domain, photographer unknown

“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”— @nondriver.bsky.social Don’t use accessibility “as a political football.”

A little mnemonic.

Really feels as if the Liberals think that since they got re-elected last year they must have solved the housing crisis. Full list of LPC accomplishments in housing: 1) Obliterating intl student numbers, thus making post-secondary education worse, 2) Writing some big cheques 3) er 4) That's it

“Ever found yourself driving to the grocery store or coffee shop even tho it’s a 10-minute walk & perfectly nice day?
