The new Alexandra Bridge coulda been this too… #Ottawa #OttCity

I'm sure I've posted this before but I'm always surprised at how many people don't know about this. Don't use Brave. For a number of reasons. More info linked. www.spacebar.news/stop-using-b...

The Israelis had planted their flag over the 900 yo Beaufort Castle (we call it Qalat al-Shaqif), the Crusader castle in Nabatieh, south Lebanon A Lebanese man took it down

On est seulement à 20 % sur notre cagnotte annuelle pour les personnes exilées, va-t-il falloir que je menace de faire des blagues nulles pour qu'elle se remplisse ?? www.helloasso.com/associations...

OMFG À chaque fois, je pense que le gouvernement a touché le fond. Pis non. Loin de là 🙃 Un pays "positif" 🙃

Ils sont mignons, tous... Ça fait deux ans que Bolloré a repris Hachette Livre via Vivendi. Deux ans que les profits de leurs bouquins respectifs lui reviennent. Ça les dérangeait moyen jusque-là, donc.

This here needs to stop. Why subsidize SFH? Just make them pay the proper price and remove the pressure on apartment dwellers. This is wealth transfer in the wrong direction. This exacerbates inequalities and amplifies social crisis.

Those numbers are wild. This is not "a few bad apples" situation. This is drivers' entitlement.

le macronisme cache son totalitarisme derrière son look managérial et le maquille en faux pragmatisme "on fait pas de politique, on résout des problèmes. C'est les /autres/ qui font de la politique, et la politique c'est partisan donc c'est /mal/" lieu commun des populistes et des fascistes btw

Unless someone has a genuine need, no car should be bigger than this.

Secures historic Liberal majority government. Immediately enacts more Conservative policies. (There's lots that can be done about the cost of living that isn't just more driving.)

That cover is the godfather of AI slop

😳

Reminder: There is no point in trying to appease car obsessed people, they simply must be steamrolled

Everyone knows the "I hope gas goes to $8 a gallon" strip, but there are a bunch of other great Calvin & Hobbes strips about his dad being a bicyclist.

HAHAHAHAHA

Bro misunderstands. This is not the degredation of society. These are the *results.* When the rich and powerful refuse to be restrained by our laws, they violate the social contract and leave people desperate and with no legal recourse. They have fucked around, and are finding out.

“Grand Army Plaza is the gateway to Brooklyn’s backyard, Prospect Park — and it should welcome New Yorkers with a street design that puts safety first,” Mr. Mamdani said in a statement. Hey, look @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social, that's what a mayor who cares about the public good looks like!

Lafarge guilty of financing terrorism in Syria.

An interesting window into Russia

So it is possible to suspend a police officer without pay in Ontario afterall . . .

It's done! After 16 years, Viktor Orban is out. Congratulations to Hungary! The rest of Europe is proud of you 🇭🇺🇪🇺 And if Peter Magyar can indeed secure a supermajority, it would also be the end of Orban's institutions 🤞🏻

Slightly more serious than Ottawa's monument to the "victims of communism"

The New York Times keep speaking of marathon talks. I don't think they know what that metaphor means, when the talks lasted less than 24 hours.

“The fact that city staff can cite these as reasons to not improve safety on the roads, it’s just kind of mind blowing,” van Geest told Capital Current. “Instead of saying, ‘okay, we have a serious problem here’ it’s [become] acceptable for drivers to drive dangerously because they’re frustrated.”

Yesterday, running errands in parts of #Ottawa I'm rarely in, reminded me how much I love the Cycling Guide app! It routed me on low stress pathways and residential streets, and when at my destination near an industrial park, the colour coding told me it was time to hop on the sidewalk. #Ottbike

Yes please. I don't know why rhum agricole is so rare in Canada, but you're missing out!

L’armée finlandaise rappelle une règle fondamentale : les inégalités portent atteinte à la cohésion nationale et à la sécurité de la nation : moins d’inégalités c’est plus de volonté de combattre pour la défense du pays.

Un gouvernement qui déteste les travailleurs s'attaque à la fête des travailleurs. Cohérent et méprisable

This is the way. I expect a lot of kicking and screaming, though, especially the further up the chain you go.

BREAKING: in March 2026, *every single one* of the 1,341 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans: In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 4,496 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

Non mais regardez avec son petit drapeau au dessus de la tête ! 🥰 #KawaiHorror

This guy is gonna brag all the way to the election how he ran the city into the ground, isn't he?

Good chairmanship today by @glengower.ca during today's transit committee. If you know, you know. If you don't, check out this delegation.

Israeli military just issued its latest (illegal) evacuation order that includes almost the entire southern suburbs of Beirut. Yet another tactic to sow fear and chaos ahead of committing new massacres in Lebanon.

I used AI to make these! The prompt was "artwork that Michael Jackson might have on the walls of Neverland Ranch". Aren't they awful!??! JUST KIDDING I DIDN'T USE AI, THESE ARE ALL PAINTINGS THAT MICHAEL JACKSON HAD COMMISSIONED HIMSELF, THESE WERE LITERALLY AT NEVERLAND RANCH!

@evanhpotter.bsky.social an idea for a future newsletter: what kind of behind-the-scenes fuckery happened regarding the vote on the Bank St bus lanes?

I expected nothing, and I'm still disappointed

Ahahahah. Excellent

I just realised that I have zero clue where to buy newspapers and magazines in Ottawa. Is there even such a thing as a press stand here?

📢 Organizing an event in Ottawa? Our e-cargo bikes and trikes are a great way to carry passengers and supplies easily without needing a vehicle at your event! www.letsgocargo.ca/event-organi... #Ottawa #Events #CargoBikes

A lack of vision, a lack of policy, and a lack of interest. Your city doesn’t care to fix the underlying issues that make your city work. Your city gov doesn’t want to change, even tho it knows how, and we, the professions dedicated to public service are here to help and offer to do so. I’m tired.

Et c'est normal

For a small number of evil people to commit atrocities, a far larger number of people who think themselves decent have to stand idly by.

Nouvelles images de la mission Artemis II par la NASA, suite au survol de la Lune ces dernières 24 heures. Ici de magnifiques photos de notre Terre, en arrière-plan derrière la Lune, juste AVANT que le vaisseau Orion ne passe derrière notre satellite. 1/4

Update: Kihana is now on Bluesky, so you can follow here here too! 🎉 ➡️ @the-astro-stud.bsky.social ⬅️

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

La France complice de génocide. Un rapport révèle que plus de 525 cargaisons d’équipements français à usage militaire ont été expédiées vers Israël entre octobre 2023 et mars 2026. Dont 9,94 millions de liens de munitions sur vingt et un mois. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...
