Can we just make a law that any motor vehicle parked in a bike lane can be vandalized with no repercussions?

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Can anyone explain why tshirts don’t list the length on their packaging? Everyone seems to be trying to make their shirts as short and cheap as possible, and those of us with long torsos end up buying non returnable T’s that don’t even reach our pants, never mind stay tucked in.

In #OttCity nearly a billion$ is earmarked over next 8y for road widenings/new arterial roads on top of hundreds of millions for repaving, regular renewals. Not only does this embeds motor-normative thinking & auto-poverty, it deprives our city of $ to build #PlacesForPeople: housing, parks, etc

At some point this needs to trigger an investigation into the culture of the OPS. This is systemic, and needs to be addressed as a systemic problem.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

"Rich people can take advantage of universal programs" Good. Like legit, good. They are going to have to foot more of the bill for them than a lot of us (if we are actually going to pay for these things) and honestly actively participating in more and not less of society is something they need

Dear Ottawa…

My entire feed is awash with people complaining that Avi Lewis isn’t perfect, that protests don’t do anything, that general strikes and economic strikes aren’t possible. I’m sorry to tell you but if we want to defeat fascism and build a better world, we may have to experience minor inconvenience!

It may not look too tasty, but this is the first iteration of a really good veggie burger recipe. Refried beans, quinoa and cheddar. Needs some veggies like carrots, but I’m happy with this start.

It’s amazing how angry people are that a progressive who isn’t keen on destroying the planet with more oil won the NDP leadership.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

The actual story is that a lack of taxation on corporations means it’s more rational to do stock buybacks and stock dividends than to reinvest in the businesses. Raise taxes on corpos so that it’s more rational to invest in the business. Capital expenses reduce taxable income for the corporations

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions. Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

As a Canadian, all I can say is new fear unlocked. vt.tiktok.com/ZSuMbsEpX/

“Thomas McVeigh, of Ontario, Canada, drives a 2014 BMW i3. That vehicle didn't have an impressive range even when it was new, and now it can only manage about 55 miles on a single charge in the winter. But it still looks great. It's pleasant to drive. It saves him on gas...” <= is me. 😉

Seeing several people chatting about planting more veg this year ahead of possible shortages due to WW3. While I've spent the afternoon researching canabalism. I should point out these two things are not related. Yet.

Everything that Trump says tonight in the State of the Union will be a lie, and the real State of the Union is a dumpster fire. #SOTU

Even more evidence that building new housing decreases rents: Researchers tracked the residents of a newly built luxury condo building and found that they freed up less expensive apartments nearby. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

2025 is just turning out to be one fuckshit of a year so far.

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

The furor over curling sure feels like a psyop to change public opinion about Canadians. Change my mind.

That is a #superbowl

It’s interesting framing of the time scale… 12000-0 is not the same as 0-2000, distorting the time frame of contemporary history and Indigenous legacy.

I've saved a bunch of Bingo memes, like the sample below, over the past few years & made a few of my own. Would you find a page of them amusing? If so, if lots of you smash that Like button, I'll put up a page of them.

Can we talk about the Haitian Olympic uniforms? I’m tired and it’s almost midnight but dang Stella Jean said fuck you the Olympic committee and I’m so here for it?

I’m thinking I need one of these.

A quick reminder of what #BigFebruary is about… Thanks to the magic of the cosmos, we start gaining daylight much faster in Feb than in Jan. Over 20 mins a week - setting us up for Spring. This chart is by @neilrkaye.bsky.social and is one of my all time favourites.

An open movement, that’s huge and universal, will be more effective than a closed movement that is tiny and paranoid. If we let a fed spy into rapid response, who cares? For every one of them we get 300 neighbors. All they can do is listen as we swarm them.

This just enrages me on so many levels
