2/2 If we want an accessible city, emerging power centres have to be accessible via public transit. If there’s no public transit service, there’s a big swath of talent (potential employees with developmental disabilities, most of whom would be commuting via public transit) on the outside looking in.

The day after the City of Winnipeg proposed paint and plastic post bike lanes on Wellington Crescent, a driver crashed into Rob Jenner’s ghost bike. Poetic? Scary? Infuriating?

This is what Costco could be doing in Winnipeg instead of moving to Headingley

WTF!!! This delay is getting ridiculous. We need those lanes!

If you’re feeling chilly tonight, turn on CJOB right now, @pattybikes.com is about to bring some heat

this is a very damning indictment of the city's choices - wow

I’m told that @winnipegfreepress.com editors are skeptical that the car we have video of diagonally on the side of the road pointed directly at the ghost bike damaged it in any way. I guess bikes just do this sometimes?

OMG WTF

I can't even anymore...

Good grief, the timing on this is ridiculous (with the public release of the project design and this event). We need these changes ASAP. Shame on council for digging their heels in.

My interview on @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social this morning, talking about the public engagement on Wellington Crescent and the plans for a temporary solution www.youtube.com/live/Tc8ji1x...

If you’re wondering whether we still need these changes, a driver hit Rob’s ghost bike THIS MORNING

OpenAI does not care if you live or die and occasionally champions the latter. Universities must cut all ties to this dangerous corporation

Remember how it took like a decade to open Portage and Main? And lots of people were mad and scared about all the potential terrible consequences? And then....it has been totally fine. And no one is mad or even cares anymore. So yeah...build the damn bike lanes and let's get on with our lives.

Just watched a driver attempt to drive down the wrong side of the median on Wellington Cres at Academy, if you’re wondering why we need protection for cyclists and other vulnerable road users.

Winnipeg friends, make sure you jump on this survey so we can finally get some good, safe, bike lanes around here. If that's not enough for you the NIMBYs will get really mad if we do this

These changes would have made the difference in Rob Jenner living or dying in the summer of 2024. They might make the difference in keeping my family or yours alive, too. We have until December 12th to share how important these changes are to us. Let’s get it done.

We need a toll booth on Roblin at the Perimeter

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Look at this ghoul. Hungry people digging through the trash leaves a mess sometimes! Who the hell looks at that problem and thinks "We MuSt PrOtEcT ThE TrAsh!"

So I live in the downtown area, and many of my neighbours are looking for a scrap of food or anything of value or anything to protect against the cold. This is a poverty problem, and treating humans like bears that go through trash isn't helpful.

Definitely solves the problem of garbage getting out. Definitely does NOT solve the problem of garbage blowing around on the streets because the bins aren’t being emptied.

The made-in-Winnipeg solution from this administration is always a lock or a cop

One of the ways to "clean-up" the city, and avoid having garbage cans rummaged through is to spend money on housing and feeding the vulnerable population, not just fancy garbage cans.

Carney looking at this and saying “I’ll have what they’re having, please!”

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Moon is uncomfortably large right now

each of them represents one of the five elements: Fire, Metal, Air, Water, and Anti-Trust.

the united states government acknowledges but does not endorse new york city’s claim on staten island, a strategic ambiguity political scientists refer to as the One New York Policy

Democratic leaders should not rely on litigating their way out of this. Take action now. Arrest these guys. Throw them in jail. Make *Republicans* file the lawsuits. Make *THEM* argue before a judge or jury why they were justified in kidnapping a preschool teacher in front of her children.

If I were the mayor or governor, I would simply not allow masked, armed men to kidnap preschool teachers in front of their children. If this isn’t a red line for you as a leader, then I don't know what you think your job is. Arrest them. Cut power to their facilities. Send out protection patrols.

Attention DNC: Your 2026 campaign ad is ready.

An Antarctica story. Once upon a time in Club 90 South, an inebriated apprentice from Wyoming revealed a family fact. One that, at other times, might be an amusing "degrees of separation" bon mot. However the key to wit and humor is not just timing, but reading the room. He did not.

Tinted windows make it impossible for pedestrians and cyclists to get drivers attention or confirm they see us. You can oppose predatory & racist police stops without downplaying traffic violence. #safestreets #bikesky

The quintessential aesthetic of fascism

This is a nice story about how libraries change lives.

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.

Driving has the same effects as the worst social media: - Social Isolation - Constant exposure to far right conspiracism by the most promoted podcasts

If you want more democracy, you need fewer cars.

how is this real

one year and everyone is so sick of your boy that Virginia is starting to look like Massachusetts and a democratic socialist won a million votes in NYC, get fucked

Of course, now he’s just Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Cuomo.

Mamdani's entire speech was a shitpost. We did it Bluesky

Zohran is cool and awesome and I’m thrilled for him and all of us but at my core this is who I am: the Jewish guy who shows up to be a world class hater in support of his friend

BIG TENT

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”
