jfc they're selling dryers with AI

It is utterly unfathomable how often our justice system doesn't even try to hold motorists responsible for their actions. www.nsnews.com/local-news/n...

I didn't think I'd ever say that, but I miss going to office. Having this option would be nice, but probably not for mandatory X days a week. I've never met anyone from the team I currently work with, and even though we've known each other for a long time, they all are strangers to me, which […]

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

How stupid is that I have to buy a whole new keyboard because fixing my old one is unnecessarily complicated? It could be an interesting project, but NOT when my to-do list doesn't fit on the screen, lol

My internet provider keeps failing at moving my service to the new address, so instead of watching the new episodes of Stranger Things on Netflix I'm about to pirate them through my library's Wi-Fi. arr

fascinating how people get into fast soundproof boxes with bad visibility, and then blame others for being “invisible”

It should be malpractice to have a "painted bike lane" narrower than the "bike lane" stencil. Vancouver has a few of these. 😒 #bikeyvr #PaintIsNotInfrastructure

A gas tax is only regressive in a city where you cannot live well without a car.

yeah baby, reviewing AI-generated code in the morning is what I absolutely love 🤢

Do yourself the enormous favour of dropping what you're doing, to go listen to this guy. He's called Mon Rovia, and this song is Heavy Foot. He's amazing. youtu.be/cKONHbsUiHQ?...

Waymo is trying to start operating in Canada btw — tell your reps what you think about that https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/115755829526539440

what could be better than jumping into the ocean water on a beautiful rainy day (many things)

Disgusting , vile views an actions This needs to stop. “Its leaders welcome neo-Nazis into their ranks, call the official statistics of the Holocaust the product of “propagandists,” use racist slurs and say Canadian politicians should be executed.” […]

The first day of moving was a success! #BikeTooter

#mobilizon is missing out by not having paid events. People are looking for a new platform for event hosting after the #eventbrite acquisition, and for some this is a barrier.

weather forecast: anything can happen!

here we go again #mozilla #firefox #enshittification

Someone installed delineators along North Road on Gabriola https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/unsanctioned-barriers-gabriola-island-9.7017210 #roadsafety #gabriola

I expected our meeting with a real estate lawyer to be boring and purely functional, but instead I met a very interesting person who cares about a better future and walks the walk. The man with gray hair and grandchildren also bikes and runs to the office!

The latest Urbanist Agenda with Brent Toderian was a great listen. My favourite parts were that urban planners should express their opinions as opposed to staying neutral, and that bad or badly implemented solutions decrease the odds of solving the problem (really well articulated) […]

Not sure if that was a good idea, but we are watching all Alien movies in a chronological order 🙃

idk transit app, i wouldn't put a gold bar nowhere near bus # 19 🫣

I'm happy to see the release of 123 political prisoners, including leaders of human rights orgs, political movements, and news outlets. They spent 5 years behind bars for participating in “fair elections”, and now are free but “deported” from their own country. #belarus

Funny how a cute fake town (a film set) in Langley has narrow streets and no parking, but actual Langley is your regular car hellhole 🥲

very wet today, but i stayed dry 😊 #BikeTooter

Unsurprisingly, when a city reduces driving, things get better: congestion pricing in NYC led to a significant drop in pollution in the metro area.

I listened to a huge chunk of these while on a bike; probably a year worth of Behind the Bastards was swallowed on my bike tour in spring 😁 #antennapodecho #behindthebastards

Imagine fleeing from persecution and genocide only to loose your kid to unsafe Canadian roads. Horrifying. https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/family-of-girl-killed-by-van-in-surrey-moved-to-canada-1-month-ago-fundraiser/ #roadsafety

Remember #bikeyvr: Left-turning motorists have right-of-way over straight-through people on bikes. Warning: some very NSFW (but cathartic) audio.

Logged in to FB Marketplace to buy a used thing. Realized that the listings are mostly people reselling from AliExpress.

Rent Includes: - Free street parking Never change, landlords. 😂

We should get ready for another right-wing mayor in Vancouver: OneCity, COPE and Greens will have their own candidates, and now Kennedy Stewart is considering running too. 2022 all over again. 😒 #vanpoli

“Ima pass these cyclists on a greenway and then cut them off while it's dark and raining” #bikeyvr #BikeTooter #asshole #driving

What did they make this protective glass from, regular grass? It cracked while I was riding lol #cycliq #BikeTooter

breaks from the internet are great!

After years in fintech, and I'm just noticing that we use “depository” and “depositary” interchangeably. Apparently they mean different things, but not always! I love English. :blobcatgoogly:

Sick of turns on red? If you live in Vancouver, please write or speak in support of restricting them! Here's how: https://visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/12/04/dec-10-restrict-right-turn-on-red/ #vacouver #vanpoli #rightonred #turnonred #roadsafety

stranger things rewatch: 3 seasons done, 1 to go forgot how creepy some episodes were 😨

If that child was killed by a scooter rider, we would be acting tomorrow. But since it was a van driver, NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:hirrgj3gs4mkftk5oopdeekc/post/3m7gegh2mrs2r

Devastated to learn that a 9 year old child has been killed by the driver of a van in Surrey. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/12/07/s...

liberals will move a finger only after fascists eat their face

Every now and then we need to replenish large items: packs of drinks, flour, detergent, etc., we fill a large cart in a grocery store, and then haul everything back via carshare. Yesterday was that day, and I told her “I bet I can carry everything by bike”. Voila! #BikeTooter

As we feared, we are hearing that transportation staff were hit hard by today's layoffs. The loss of expertise and capacity will reverberate for years. In its last year in office, Vancouver council is using scorched earth tactics to derail progress on road safety and lock in the deadly status quo.

400 city workers are getting laid off thanks to A Bunch of Cunts on the council

Well that's a boring end to the story, what am I supposed to do with all this popcorn? #bcpoli

How am I going to explain to my boss why nothing was done today :lolsob:
