UPL = unfortunately pulled lots

Me any time someone mentions train and I try not to be neurodivergent about them.

Speed cameras make people angry because driving fast is more fun than driving slow. We don't need to pretend there's anything more complicated going on. A lot of people think it's mean for the government to make them have less fun, and driving fast is fun.

Hey. Me again. @timtierney.ca, you seemed to really enjoy using the observations of BTO, especially after calling "plant" on them. Now here is a question for you: why you think it would be wise to launch a line if not 100% ready in order to achieve a date so you can brag to your voters?

Hey, councillor @timtierney.ca Reminder that democratic participation doesn't rely on which ward someone comes from. They bring genuine concerns. @bettertransitottawa.ca has done something you haven't done: ask questions and identify what can be done to improve service. Not just slogans.

“Developers talk not just about how the AI output is often flawed, but that using AI to get the job done is often a more time consuming, harder, and more frustrating experience … More concerning, developers who use AI at work report that they feel like they are de-skilling themselves.”

“When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity”— Secretary Doug Burgum, US Department of the Interior. “I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the Secretary is unaware of— it's a battery.”—US Representative Jared Huffman. #ProudBlue #Burgum #Huffman

The only logical reason for Danielle Smith to react like this would be if she were a separatist. Therefore, either Danielle Smith is insane, or she is a separatist.

Oh they are really gonna start the whiny baby howling now. #cdnpoli #ableg apple.news/Adu0pFroFTBi...

The real value of social media is being able to post something like "The ass is the father of the legs" and potentially have multiple members of congress see it

I am no procurement expert (looks @plagasse.bsky.social) but if the US is going to put pressure on Canada to purchase American technology, this can't be helping the case? Not everything will be affected, but it shows the risks of dealing with an unpredictable US?

Tall man penalty, short man goal Just like in the bible

Rather than being on the verge of a “massive energy and economic boom not seen since the early 2000s,” as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s chief of staff wrote on social media, the industry is in the midst of the last oil boom any of us will ever see, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

crying laughing at this

I mean, is there any infrastructure in the country that would be more useful, other than almost anything?

How about building something useful

Critically: You must INTENTIONALLY REQUEST expedited processing by including a letter with your citizenship request explaining your situation, along with supporting documentation.

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

I liked this article: "Meet the NIMBY’s Toxic Cousin: the NOMS (Not On My Street)" about growing hostility to any road modifications to add room & safety for buses, cyclists, pedestrians usa.streetsblog.org/2026/05/06/m... (found via @theoverheadwire.com)

Lol

Dach deserves to score for this.

Villain, I have done thy mother.

Men should get more hobbies! (Men develop the dumbest hobbies imaginable which are also dangerous.) Okay, I take it back. Men should just stick to watching sports in a pub. We are not to be trusted developing novel hobbies.

“Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf” is pretty funny.

The essay’s argument actually aligns with our research into how to get people to take action for public transit. “Transit fights climate change” isn’t a motivating frame; “ensuring everyone can get around with dignity” is. We still push transit as a climate solution, just with different messaging.

Oh FFS. “Hey dear party that currently lacks a leader, here’s a genuinely electable person, how about you get behind them and go and defeat Doug Ford?” OLP - fuck that, we want to be incompetent losers forever woohoo!!!!

"Hey! Get off my sugar! Bad bees! Bad! Ow! Ow!! Oh, they're defending themselves somehow."

basically

People who don’t bike anywhere often have virtually zero knowledge of how to do it. What routes exist, which ones are safe, how they connect or go places. Same thing behind the “we have enough bike lanes!” crowd.

From a LinkedIn entrepreneur bro complaining about Canada Post getting more funding. You don’t get to decide where your tax dollars go because you LIVE IN A SOCIETY. Why is that lost on so many of our self-appointed “rugged individualists”?

Things that should not be run like businesses: universities, hospitals, and government. Things that should be run like businesses: businesses. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

“Airports charge operating fees to airlines to cover their bottom lines, and the airlines in turn pass those fees on to passengers. Sims said the fees rose ‘massively’ after Australia privatized its airports.” Australia provides a cautionary tale on privatize airports, just as on private healthcare

Do you want to upload your ID so that it's easy for hackers to steal every time you log on? Do you want a company to scan your face every time you log on (which will have trouble if you're a POC, trans, or which can't differentiate between 15 and 16)? Really? People need a reality check here.

It doesn't look like they polled as to whether these Canadians want the entire internet surveilled in order to achieve this social media ban. I suspect that it might have changed the results if people knew what such a ban (which is easily circumvented!) actually entails. cc @supriya.bsky.social

I am in fact Palestinian, worked for Zeteo, *and* have empathy — you’re a detective! Did you also know I voted for Harris? But even if I hadn’t, everyone is entitled to their First Amendment rights and shouldn’t go bankrupt defending them!
