@mayorandreahorwath.bsky.social has a tone deaf closer on her statement acting like walking and cycling are causing safety issues 🤦 “Everyone - whether driving, walking, or cycling - has a role to play in keeping our community safe.” The cars are the safety problem, always! Stop victim blaming!

I don't think we talk enough about the fact that what underpins their belief is a corruption of the bible - prosperity gospel. They think because they are rich , they are blessed by god. also for people who are going to say, I'm saying they aren't really christian - I'm not. /1

Did anyone see this hit and run?

So sad that no one cares enough about him to look after him.

I've driven the 401 through Toronto and ridden the Elizabeth Line through London, and the latter is a much better experience.

"don't worry, he's just into 15-year-olds" perhaps not as exculpatory as you think Also 15-year-olds are not "barely legal." They are minors.

Like many 'cost savings tips,' great for people who don't need to save money - folks who can afford to buy, charge, and securely store an e-bike, buy in bulk, have store memberships, safe and secure food storage, a reliable freezer, etc. This perpetuates the notion that poor folks are wasteful.

In today's Morning File, @mmughees.bsky.social's story about advocates urging governments to build non-market housing. Also, Mount Uniacke residents respond to quarry expansion approval. And I wrote about women and AI in the workplace. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Disturbing story, but the lesson is keep cats indoors and away from predators like neighbours. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I just want to mention that this was a New York Times reporter Epstein was talking to, and the NYT has never disclosed these emails or any photos conveyed.

Good thread on fabrics.

Trump bragged about grappling women by the pu**y & barging into rooms of partially dressed, young pageant contestants. A jury concluded he assaulted E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room. So nothing that’s in the Epstein emails is a surprise. It’s just confirmation.

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

You guys wanna see a dead body?

Years ago, I saw a Cray in an museum, and I fear I will never get used to seeing 'cool new tech' in a museum. This is probably how grandpa felt at antique car shows.

"Every major anti-trans groups has pushed the idea that being trans is a social contagion spread through teenage phone use."

"Between the time a probation violation warrant is signed by a judge and when it is served, probation officers stop conducting any in-person supervision....That period of suspended face-to-face checks can stretch for months."

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

Beaverton doing better reporting than almost anyone else.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

I think vacant storefronts in shopping districts and malls has more to do with a struggling working class unable to buy anything, but that suggests the economy is being mis-managed, and our leaders resent that idea since they and their wealthy friends are doing just fine.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
