dumb bike fall this morning half my fault because I am tired and half the fact that this city sucks ass at plowing anything that cars don't touch

This remains one of my favourite headline-photo combos of all time.

Calgary has had a record year… in pedestrian deaths.😔 Other cities have had zero and they attribute “that milestone in part to 30 km/h speed limits, redesigned streets, and reliable public transit” Will #yyccc be brave and do the right thing? #Calgary www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

At a party with a Moby Donut 🍩 🐋 and this is true literary goals of it weren’t to celebrate a new stout.

A premium example of what the United States does in the light Canada does in the dark CTV News reporting that Canadian company Roshel is producing armoured vehicles for ICE

We've been good all month let's get together and be silly ✨festively✨ #yycbike

We need an upper mount royal tax in this city. Tired of our services getting worse because people in mansions want to pay less taxes.

A the war on bike lanes continue in this country, the people will always ride bikes and help each other ride bikes. That's the beauty of bikes!

In a separate but related announcement: I plan to send every one of these lil’ guys I find in a bike lane to robot hell.

Small but mighty crew last night 💙🩵 #yycbike

We will be ending tonight’s ride at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary fire pit to warm up! It’ll be a chilly 10km ride so dress warm and bring a hot bevy 🚲❄️☃️ #yycbike

Absolutely unsurprising. What is the point of this party fr

Yo wtf!! "Amendments to the Health Insurance Premiums Act will add a new requirement for Alberta residents to regularly renew their health card in order to remain eligible to receive insured services from the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan." medicinehatnews.com/news/local-n...

I’ve literally witnessed drivers plow head on into flashing, orange construction equipment. Can we stop with this idiotic messaging?

Please Mr Carney, trains are pipelines for people. Why can’t Alberta have that?

NEW COVER REVEAL!! The thing about writing a series is that you need it to look similar, but not too similar. And, you need to to stand alone in case the series doesn't actually come to pass. Corporate Control has a new cover! Look at it! Look! And then buy or borrow it ...

When a pedestrian is not paying attention and walks into something, no one dies. When a driver is not paying attention and drives into something people are often injured/killed. How long will it fucking take for society to STOP EQUATING THE TWO?

A WEEK in this city. How is the strategy of "people just need to drive better" going, folks? Don't talk to me about safety in this city unless you're talking about cars. A city built around cars is a city built for death and injury. #yyc

The new mayor and council's decision to backpedal on rezoning has delayed over $100 million in funding for affordable housing—and a $64 million grant next year is at risk, too.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I tell myself I'll do this every winter for like a decade and never have!

Rep. Salazar on Venezuela: "We're about to go in ... we need to go in ... Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day"

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Going back in time 5 years and showing my past self this article as a warning for how stupid the future is

4 people run down in one single day. There is a war on our streets, and the humans are losing. Meanwhile, no new money is proposed in the upcoming city budget to tackle this issue. Zero leadership from #yyccc. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

How hard could it be to built a guillotine and just bring it out for a laugh? As like a total joke. Just like a funny thing to do with my friends.

AHS Nursing Care have served strike notice. www.aupe.org/news/news-an...

The UCP deserve to rot in the hottest fires of hell

In this ep we make the point that you can never have a budget as harsh as 1995 again unless you rebuild the welfare state first, which we haven't done. But I think I'm going to be mumbling the phrase "Minister Champagne is repealing the yacht tax" to myself for a while. 🍾

Got the fenders on and one studded tire up front for tomorrow hope she don’t fail me

Happy first snow bike day of the season to those who celebrate ❄️ #yycbike

I wanna put my bike in the glow tube!!!!

Calgary police are on a rampage downtown, using drones to find people and clear them off streets. Posting photos of unhoused folks they arrest (see twitter). It’s collective punishment for social disorder and violence they have failed to improve with prior violence. Film the cops if you see them.

"One of the individuals caught up during the sweep was Grant Robinson, an unhoused individual who was given a ticket by a CPS officer for allegedly throwing a cigarette butt on the ground."

BRING BACK HERMAN MELVILLE AND NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE BECAUSE WE NEED THEIR TAKES ON THIS

LET'S F***ING GOOOOOO!!! 🫡 #ABLeg #ABPoli

On a new 🌾 @albertaadvantage.bsky.social🌾 the team look at how organized labour in Alberta is responding to an existential threat as the province’s teachers are ordered back to work by Danielle Smith’s UCP. albertaadvantagepod.com/2025/11/04/a... 🔶

In case you were wondering, I don’t give a single fuck about govt deficits. And neither should you.

sucks that these ghouls live comfortably until the age of 125

The resistance is going to be texted. Enjoy our rant!

incredible things are happening in cow town #yycbike

Halloween bike party! @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social #yycbike

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! We'll be ending tonight's haunt at a FIRE PIT in Sandy Beach! Dress up and dress warm! See you soon #yycbike 👹

No money for teachers? That's because energy executives keep getting their wish. Join us on Nov. 5 in Calgary to learn how Albertans are fighting coal mining in the Rockies and another govt handout to oil and gas companies. Info & RSVP here: www.cleanupyourmess.ca/nov5-calgary... #ABLeg #ABPoli

labour leadership in this province is truly embarrassing. The people are pissed and you're suggesting a committee should be formed about whether or not a general strike is good? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS WHOLE TIME

The billionaire loophole: While ordinary Canadians struggle, the top one per cent hide billions in offshore tax havens — a colonial system engineered to protect wealth and starve public services. New from @readtheorchard.org: ricochet.media/labour/class... #cdnpoli #taxtherich #budget2025
