The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

@cityofvancouver.bsky.social when are you going to start adding your other groups such as VPB to Blue Sky platform?

I used to frequent a Whole Foods cafe in Vancouver. The coffee was excellent, staff very friendly and swift. The baking was also really decent and a reasonable price. Fast forward to today. Baking has gone to 3/10. No more “own cup” discount, understaffed, lamer in every way except the great staff.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

That he feels he can say this, publicly, is 100% Doug Ford giving this behaviour his approval. This should be an embarrassing secret bro takes to his grave. The way these people drive & treat others will be related too. The sociopathic lid is off.

Cowards.

If you're in a market with either a Sinclair or Nexstar station (or both) -- do this! Watch the local news tonight. Write down the advertisers. Call them tomorrow!

Team of Traffic Control in my neighbourhood enforcing bus lanes and speeding westbound on E 41st this morning. Really happy to see that…However, I’d rather see automated cameras for bus lanes and speed along 41st. One camera versus four officers plus volunteers.

Refusing to hand your money over to companies and oligarchs whose behaviors suck should be a very common practice, and yet it’s still treated by many as some sort of revolutionary pipe-dream. You can do it. The sacrifice is minimal. The reward is big.

We need more journalists pointing this sort of thing out in Canada. We are not immune. If nothing else a positive thing to come out of the authoritarian regime next door we should be taking a hard look at ourselves

We had some new lows over the weekend with the Maga gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it. I’m Jimmy

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was: * successful at everything he tried * genuinely intelligent & insightful * desired by women * envied by men * an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with * a tireless, lifelong philanthropist ... and he died peacefully in his sleep. 10/10 life. No notes.

Found some tiny tiny books in my Grandparents boxes. @katewagner.wehwalt.net any interest? They seem to be about Richard Wagner by J Walker McSpadden… They are looking for a new home. DM me if you are interested.

This dog lives down my road. A special breed created when the first greyhound mated with a Victorian ghost child, it now pops up regularly in my drive. The dog's owners have also purchased it a wardrobe of spacesuits constructed by NASA. Meaning it is now lead singer of a David Bowie tribute band.

Yes please… Dog walked, salad made, pizza makings chopped/shredded. Waiting for the oven to get hot. Next stop pizza and movie night. I’d like to forget about this week

Finally viewed this Vancouver landmark IRL @tomflood.bsky.social Couldn’t resist the lean as well

Samsies!

Listening to “Complicated Game” off of XTC’s 1979 album Drums and Wires. Honestly the best song to illustrate this moment in history… check it out

Appropriate cycling footwear always. Also my plumbing fitting cup holder working out great!

Where this is all going if we don’t stop it now. No time to wait. Write a letter, get involved, call your representatives and plan to protest. Cut off their supports.

Yesterday, at a ‪@movementyvr.bsky.social‬ rally, we celebrated the dubious anniversary of ABC passing a motion for new bus lanes on 49th Avenue and other routes. One year later we've seen no action - and since then, commuters have spent a collective 316 years and 52 days delayed by traffic.

Nothing to see here, just @lucymaloney.bsky.social doing media against inaction on bus lanes while a SORRY BUS FULL 49 goes by at 2 PM on a Saturday. Cumulatively, 316 years of transit users time has been wasted since 24 July, 2024 since Vancouver voted to put bus lanes on its 9 busiest corridors.

Orlando wasn’t having what DeSantis did. They recolored the Pulse Memorial crosswalk.

This is huge. Please fill it out for the future of this city.

Incredible to see this billboard up in Vancouver. So happy to have worked with the amazing people @visionzerovancouver.ca visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/08/02/d...

As Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo put it: "A city where you can get let go of your child's hand"

Thankfully my faithful dog has saved me from the dreaded vacoom once again this Saturday morning… She scans the horizon for more foe to vanquish

Feminism: the radical notion that women are people. I’m a feminist son of a second wave feminist and Dad to feminist son and daughters. Please check out this petition to ensure that this crucial ministry remains a key part of YOUR Canadian government.

Yes! This right here. Best part of my workday is getting on my bike in the morning and after the workday. I put it all away. Thanks bike! I need to give you a bath…

Yes, traffic cameras work, but it's a myth that people hate them! Survey after survey shows that most people support automatic enforcement (and often want more of it). This is a false controversy, fed by a minority of disgruntled drivers & journalists seeking narratives with conflict.

Can’t remember where I read it first but now calling media and outlets owned by billionaires “nooz” just like we have been calling those slices of orange rubber “cheeze” for last few generations

Article supporting Trump’s tastes in architecture. I’m waiting for the joke but it never came. He has terrible design taste - like the worst. A casino owners design sense…the planned whitehouse ballroom is coffered ceiling box…groundbreaking. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Need this in your city, province and country

Dropkick Murphys for the win at Warped Tour over the weekend in Long Beach playing their song "First Class Loser" with an epic backdrop video 🔥

Not now earthquake/tsunami!

The Broadway Line construction in Vancouver is nearing an end. All the 1/2 block adjacent streets and lanes closures along the line convince me we need less roads. More space for gathering, for walking, for trees and social spaces. We need space for bikes, busses and mobility lanes

Three cyclists have been hit by drivers in Prince George this week. One of them is dead. As it happens, it's the same week the city is calling for feedback on safety for bikers, walkers and other non-drivers. They're getting a lot of notes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Seriously, stop letting bad politicians own and weaponize the phrase “common sense.” Take it back.

Kingsway has the best food in Vancouver. Willing to debate. My new cheap eats for shawarma is “ZamZam”. Excellent zamzamgrill.ca
