A guy on tik tok onside kicks into random things

Over 60 people attended today's Just Bluffing Around ride to the Scarborough Bluffs hosted by Danforth Kingston 4 All. Here's a video of the ride as it was leaving Highview Park. Don't forget to join the over 1500 who signed the petition at www.dk4all.ca. #BikeTO #ScarbTO #TOpoli #VisionZero

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

It’s a lovely record and I hope folks didn’t avoid it because they dislike the other band or whatever

Heard someone blasting Exodus out on Kingston Road earlier and well that was all the motivation I needed. Shouts to my neighbours for digging the bass frequencies.

Dumbest part of this (as it concerns me): I like mint tea with a bit of honey too. :/ *two* honeys, however, does not strike me as something a sane person wants in their life

A military strike killing civilians Who haven't been accused of a crime In international waters Solely on Trump's orders With no legal justification i s m u r d e r .

Looks like a south-north route is on the agenda tomorrow

The immigration attorney groupchat I’m in is having itself a moment

Good one today from Hell World: - Molina lyric - reminder to watch The Leftovers (particularly after Lindelof told Disney to fuck off) - examination of Jeremy Saulnier films by @coreyatad.com which is itself a reminder to watch or rewatch BLUE RUIN, maybe my fav film of the 2010s

The government of Canada has come down harder on these rappers than on a state committing genocide. Israel still has an embassy in Canada despite Israel not only publicly endorsing violence and hate, but killing tens of thousands of people. Perhaps hundreds of thousands. We don't even know anymore.

I generally like hill repeat sessions because I like climbing over all the other "cycling disciplines" but when someone on an e-bike zips past on a grade 10, that's just unfair man :D

Maybe dialing back the doomscolding on here for a few days would be OK. Folks are freaked out, but we all need to vent sometimes eh?

Word

VF obviously does good work - publishing the TNC essay from a few days ago - but wtf

The real unhinged thing here is the Mac Jones Patriots sticker on the top right.

In some ways my ideal politics is when I don't know who Adam Jentleson is

Incredibly not good day from the jump so changed plans and went for my long ride this afternoon/evening.

Just further evidence we need an airport east of the Don www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

Introducing the Charlie Kirk Remembrance Act, which makes it a felony to quote anything Charlie Kirk actually said when he was alive.

Good essay that in this specific instance also gets at Klein's broader posture: "It shows Klein isn’t writing about Kirk at all. He’s writing about himself and saying, 'I’m doing politics the right way because I’m lauding someone who disagrees with me.'"

Cool country

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Haha that’s right Revs. Haha that’s right TFC.

Christie Pits, Toronto. Best sign of the day.

From an Atlantic editor. I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

Verstehe ich das richtig: 1 Faschist ermordet 1 Faschisten, weil der ihm nicht faschistisch genug ist, aber wir sollen über Linksradikalismus reden?

Patio in the Beaches. Still time for smiles.

„The University of California, Berkeley has given the Trump administration the names of 160 faculty members and students as part of an investigation into “alleged antisemitic incidents”, a move a targeted scholar likened to a “practice from the McCarthy era”.“ Übel.

That’s enough online time for me let’s go ride bikes…or stare at a lake

i hope that, knowing what he know now, he feels like a fucking fool.

Georgia is the first to come to mind but also I am an extremely big fan of her singing/voice so there's that too. (followed by Carla Azar and of course Janet)

Good Corey Robin post about this moment (specifically Virginia) over on FB

It’s been bewildering how many interviews I’ve heard with teary-eyed college students on the bbc, npr, cbc, etc that start and stop at Kirk’s commitment to free speech. What free speech is that asks angry goose

Was I absentmindedly wearing my old Thirsty Scholar work shirt when I stumbled upon this bit of 617? Fuck yeah kid

Tonight! Tonight! #Toronto Cyclists Rally as North American Cities Face Backlash Against Bike Lanes. momentummag.com/toronto-cycl...

Not that I’m feeling particularly homesick atm but it was weirdly pleasant biking into this scene (they’re filming Donnie Dorchester’s new cop show a block over)

LEFT IS BEST

Ich verstehe den Wunsch, Gemeinsamkeiten zu finden, um mit politischen Gegnern konstruktiv zusammenzuarbeiten, aber das geht nur, wenn die andere Seite diesen Wunsch teilt.

This is the legacy of Charlie Kirk’s politics that is being celebrated as “a love of free debate” or whatever. apnews.com/article/texa...

Absolutely fucking not. He was David Duke with a free speech gimmick but I guess that’s enough for the Kleins and Coppins of the world.

Just because the dude sucked and fomented comparable violence and even supported those means, it does not then follow he should meet that same fate. Could be talking about several guys come to think of it. :/

Don't shoot people. It's wrong and can also lead to a lot of bad things happening.

Hell yeah zoning board member at the Great Scott approval hearing praises people over parking :)

Ride report from my very slow metric century this afternoon: the midges are back so congrats to whoever is happy about all that.

RAN after this driver to take a picture of his incredible vest!!! I want one so bad but he said they’re only available for MTA workers 🏆🚍🏆
