Once again contemplating the many horrible crimes I would commit for an inbound regional/commuter train as late as even 9:15 AM local time

I would really like to see this across TransLink, BC Transit, and non-vehicular BC Ferries trips #bcpoli

Helen, the comments aren't closed to *you*. They're just closed for quality control purposes to followers, though I am surprised you didn't figure that out given the quality of the average Bluesky response that hits the Discover feed. It is fascinating how deeply offended you seem by this setting?

gotta stay hydrated. people are increasingly saying this about the human body.

Justice for Fernando Valenzuela

Shockingly disrespectful for the “Contemporary Era” committee not to vote for Fernando Valenzuela’s induction. What he means to the Dodgers and to Los Angeles should put him in. #MLB

You don't even need to leave Ontario to find international-style LRT signals. Waterloo uses them. The TTC insisted on vehicle-style traffic signals to match the other streetcar lines (which need to use them because international-style LRT signals are illegal for buses to use in Ontario)

Says something about my interests that my Bluesky feed is now a minute by minute update on what's happening with the Finch LRT opening 🍿🚋 I'm home sick, so I'll check it out in a few days, but it's fun to feel the elation/frustration vicariously!

Oh wow they finally identified Little Miss Panasoffkee

US government adopted the far-right Great Replacement myth and is now demanding NATO countries to dismantle the EU and the European project. They themselves frame it as a binary choice. Essentially the end of NATO as we know it.

I'm repeating myself ad nauseam, but this totally stupid nonsense of all identical traffic lights with written signs to indicate what they are meant for is so absolutely insane that has come to symbolize the hyper-provincialism of Ontario and why it fails so miserably at transit construction.

Hey mutuals, who wants a Christmas card?

Hey mutuals, who wants a Christmas card?

You know what's funny? It's that Canada does multi-stage pedestrian crossing in its oldest LRT, in Edmonton! Because it treats it as a railway crossing, with railway barriers... But conceptually it's a multi-stage pedestrian crossing, allowing the LRT to have full priority... at 70 km/h!

people would take the PIJ crank call completely seriously

there are benighted lands on this planet where a child can be born into statelessness but such barbarism is nearly unknown in the Americas, home of hummingbirds & redwoods, the great river & the great cordillera bsky.app/profile/hann...

I pushed the abandoned shopping cart all the way back to the Save-on-Foods. Please clap.

OK, this is a small thing when compared to the sheer fundamental disgusting aspect of the story but it wasn’t a goddamn Sunday

I wouldn’t trade the world for this city, this club, and our incredible community of supporters. #VWFC

the warrior does not sneak and ambush, but uses their turn signal

So there *is* a #VWFC radio broadcast but it *isn’t* available as simulcast through Apple TV. Weird! #MLSCup

They flew down the quartet from Vancouver to perform “O Canada” – this rules #VWFC #MLSCup

she MLS my Cup til i Final

I genuinely believe Americans are stupid enough, collectively, to turn their country into Syria circa 2015

So uhhhhhhhh #VWFC is Canada’s Team in the MLS Cup Final, right?

See, I think so many of our problems in North America re transit come down to ignoring that speed is REALLY important. I *don't* think its hard to believe that *getting places quickly* is peoples top priority! This is especially true because most people have access to a car!

The one thing I fully agree with the Conservative Party of Canada on is that you should go to a ceremony and take the Oath of Allegiance in person

Moving to Toronto after the Surrey LRT got replaced with a light metro extension was wild because people here still thought "LRT" was a great idea -- even though like with the Surrey LRT it was never really clear they would be anything more than marginally faster than the bus. But trains!

I just found out about Inter Miami’s actual permanent stadium plan (redeveloping a golf course across the canal from the airport train station) and, can I just say, lmao, Miami sucks

Thinking about the cancelled Surrey LRT proposal; smiling serenely at the knowledge that Metro Vancouver is G-d’s chosen regional municipal amalgamation

I guess that abandoned shopping cart is just going to stay in front of my house until I move it.

Let’s go Bosnia and Herzegovina!

Hudson’s Bay Stripes merchandise is now available at Canadian Tire. I’m glad they were able to pull this off for the holiday shopping season

Like, I’m sorry, but you simply can’t have Community Shuttle type low-capacity bus routes at the density of Florida suburbs. If you want to get people on transit, it’s going to be Waymo to the train station
