keep in mind the "better transit, not bike lanes" crowd never takes the bus & would flip out if the city proposed a dedicated bus lane on a main street in their area. source: organized for bus lanes on a certain street & having opposed old rich white people lecturing me (brown person) about equity

Another thing NIMBYs have in common with the far right is they are very good at co-opting progressive language and concepts.

taking my bf to see Blue Velvet in 35mm tonight

Okay, so obviously this is very dumb, but for an explanation of why: The "rules being eased" is really "unwinding the phase-out of HFC refrigerants." HFCs are responsible for the extremely high global warming potential of refrigerants, and our previous saner government was working to fix this 1/x

I think blaming a lot of the social problems you see now on the pandemic is very convenient. Those wounds have been festering for a long while.

Hastings museum had an LGBT history exhibit and there was a bit on a trans guy and a cis woman who married in 1954 that I found moving

Every time a car ideologue hides behind a vulnerable group to advocate for their position, they are lying. The rich and powerful benefit most from automobility, while everyone else benefits from safe streets and transit. That simple.

Mr No, in two breaths, complains that platform doors are too expensive, but also that the TTC should spend oodles of money on building parking lots. Any real estate folks want to estimate the value of land for giant parking lots beside subways? More or less than the cost of platform edge doors?

Look at my fiscal conservatives, bro. Any land use at $4/day (+free weekends) in Toronto would be in high demand. That's, like, $92/month rent NEXT TO high-capacity transit, although you gotta clear out between 2-5 am every day, which would be a bit annoying. www.ttc.ca/subway-stati...

Has hell frozen over? You know metro has been a smashing success when even the Northern Beaches wants one

dependency on gas cars is 1/3 of the reason we have fascists in power and how they are able to hold onto it right now the other two are white supremacy and evangelical christianity to fight fascism we must end car dependency book on muni quote from the 80s very much related

looks like bitwarden is getting overtaken by private equity guys so I'm probably switching to proton pass

Hey! Guess what? Bitwarden is getting shitty, hope that’s not your password manager. www.fastcompany.com/91542655/bit...

Every time I talk about our research on crash reporting, I point out how the effect on traffic is mentioned in the same breath, or even before as in this case, the details of the crash. It is absolutely important to keep first responders safe but it usually sounds more about inconveniencing drivers.

This isn't a payment processor thing. Valves themselves chose to reject it. Im sick of people laundering good will by scapegoating an important but not always related concern. Remember, Valve tried to reject Chaos;Head Noah, a vn you could buy for the Nintebdo Switch at Walmart.

Spent some time in Goulburn recently. Found a cute possum in the park and also walked to a lookout with amazing views of the town

journalists and editorial boards must be persecuted for taking away the humanity of trans people

“A new study shows that individuals with similar levels of autistic traits are naturally drawn to one another.” www.psypost.org/brain-scans-...

I was just talking to students in class tonight about for-profit transportation companies marketing themselves as complimenting the system, but actually poaching people from transit trips ...

i hoped "it's time to build" meant building: -housing -public transit -other stuff of public value that society needs instead we get two tax-subsidized AI boondoggles owned by one of the big 3 telecom companies taking up space in central vancouver near skytrain lines that should be housing

Given that a plurality of American corn crops end up as car juice anyway, we could have the exact same energy outcomes by subsidizing farmers to build out solar power in some of their corn crop lands instead, with far fewer negative externalities (emissions, fertilizer runoff, corn sweats, etc.).

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

gavin newsom cut the states already tiny budget for active transportation infrastructure projects and is getting bribed by chevron to cut cap/trade and also is letting many transit agencies face cuts instead of shifting highway funding

we made our own deep dish pizza! my half has the mushrooms!

Lately, the area in front of Shinjuku Station's Southeast Gate has started to turn into a semi-permanent protest site against war, racism, Trump, Takaichi, and Netanyahu.

It is a myth that Waymo follows traffic laws

Do y'all know the story about Harry's bar in Sweden and how they used the logic of the #NordicModel to legally get away with racial discrimination under the guise of ending demand? I figure this might be a good time to tell the story, considering the current political climate.
