We have an amazing opportunity in Waterloo Region to use lessons from our own ION light rail to expand our network. If we can get funding for ION stage 2 at comparable levels to peer projects, good management and procurement could leave enough funds for a whole second line!

They’re pretty clearly killing all those on board instead of doing legal arrests so no one can easily complicate their narrative

@neal.fun gives me hope that the Internet can still be interesting and fun

a lot of folks have video podcasts but they should really have audio only podcasts

Goodnight, all. May we all know moments of peace and sun-warmed bliss like this adorable ocean potato I saw today.

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

The bass just kicked in a couple minutes ago, great track #onstorm

I understand CNN and ABC providing live coverage of the Kirk memorial but I don’t understand why the CBC is providing it in Canada

Amazing things are happening in Kitchener www.reddit.com/r/kitchener/...

Technologically advance a band: Beach Mixed-Use Building

The most underappreciated issue in urbanism is the Anglosphere’s transit construction cost problem. It’s not just that we’re spending too much money on any particular project. It’s that we could be getting *much more transit* for the *same amount of money we’re currently spending*.

What do most people assume is the same between Canada and the US but you know is hugely different?

Municipally run clinics really is an interesting idea

Car-oriented suburbs lure you in with countryside views and empty roads then promptly ruin both to lure the next batch in

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

Someone took the chip from their Presto Card and put it into a magic wand.

Light the trails and people will use them at night too

after extensive wind tunnel testing and analysis, I've concluded that airplane mode is a complete scam. it doesn't change the phone's aerodynamics in the slightest.

Starting now in uptown Waterloo!

“A building only an architect could love” would be a good dig

Very glad that @jocelynsquires.bsky.social live-skeeted this so that I could enjoy it while being only a little bit jealous.

“In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

You know how you can get pay parking validated at a store? You oughta be able to get transit fares from a transit fare card validated (i.e. refunded) in the same way

And what if that someone was already leader of the GPO

I know someone on an H-1B who was just about to travel abroad to get their young child a medically necessary surgery that they can't afford in the US. This change is incredibly cruel.

Subreddits are not forums

I’d like to see a program with two week turnaround time for people who want to trade in their H1B for a Canadian work visa. Alas, current immigration/NPR discourse in this county probably renders nimble and creative action like what we put on during the first Trump term impossible now.

Whoever figures out a vaccine for the common cold will make the anti-vaxx movement unsustainable

Getting scofflaws off the street (by pedestrianizing it)

I bet you could get a decent number of voters if you promised to bring back the old Costco muffins

If you want to know more about the tick tock deal, you can find that at casio dot com

For some people, robotaxis feel like the symbol of the urban future. For me, it's the pneumatic garbage collection.

"a man two friends short of a podcast" is an INCREDIBLE turn of phrase. Language is beautiful

There is some irony in this government directive, following their own attempts to limit or remove barrier-protected bike lanes in Toronto and the rest of the province.

Get an inside look at the world’s largest research hub devoted to theoretical physics, right here in Waterloo! Visit our open house this weekend, September 20-21 from 10 AM - 4 PM (time slotted entry).

What if bikes, but more fun

Great to see a key piece of the AT Protocol ecosystem being structured for long term independence - the PLC Directory of account identifiers will now be managed & maintained by a Swiss Association

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

If you wrote a "Trump distances himself from project 2025" story in 2024 you are either a dupe or one of our enemies. They are cackling with laughter that the media they're now destroying enthusiastically helped them dupe the voters

city: we're going to enforce speed limits angry drivers: this is an unfair cash grab. If you want people to drive slower, change the streets city: we're changing the streets so people drive slower angry drivers: not like that

Political alignment chart but the two dimensions are -how much you view important things as zero-sum -propensity towards negative polarization

Join TriTAG at these upcoming events! TriTAG will be tabling at Waterloo Region Climate Fest, tabling and riding at Ride for Refugee, and speaking at the Guelph Transportation Summit. DM us or email us at [email protected] if you'd like to volunteer! Links in thread below. (1/4)

Though there's more gov't accounts here than you'd think! E.g. you could keep up with some provincial courts if that's your thing: @coursuperieure.bsky.social @kingsbenchab.bsky.social @bccourtofappeal.bsky.social @bcsupremecourt.bsky.social @courtsns-news.bsky.social @skcourts.bsky.social

and, again: if they can prosecute you for going to No Kings, *they will prosecute you for something else*. you should put your name on the list because you have a right to do it and you can definitely stand in front of God and country and say you went to No Kings bc you believe it's your right

I would like to hear some believable paths to getting more Canadian governments, agencies/boards, and elected officials on here

14 cyclists through an intersection in the same time it takes 4 cars to go through. Over 3x the throughput in half the space. 📍Bloor & Walmer, Toronto

Dunno about you but I only read / watch / listen to people who have been fired for criticizing the regime

Potemkin authoritarianism
