We have a lot of catching-up to do. It won't be enough to just start building cycling infrastructure again, let's build it faster and cheaper to create connected networks and spread the benefits to every neighbourhood.

The main business model of Silicon Valley from Uber to AirBnB to Spotify is: skim profit off others' goods and labor. Often in ways that are exploitative of individuals or destructive of larger forces (as with Amazon and the retail that kept people heading out in public).

Thread for posting my last four watched each Friday until I get bored or forget

All-day bus lanes on Hastings are coming! But only for a tiny section. Extensive, all-day bus lanes would make bus trips feel more like SkyTrain, and they only need signs and paint. 1/2

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.

I don’t want to laugh at a small business but also VERY funny

The tide is shifting. They're walking back the bullshit hype.

Feb 4, 2001: demolition experts implode London's 10-storey CN Tower, with its ground floor VIA Rail station. The station had only been used since 1969 and was actually the fifth passenger station on this site, with the first having opened in 1856. 1/3

MITTAGONG, 132km from Central, is a larger station that serves a town centres with a strip of shops and some low/medium density housing. Its two platforms are accessed by a recently upgraded footbridge, with new glass and concrete lift towers. It features a two-storey heritage station building (1/3)

Hornby Street in downtown Vancouver has seen 4 recent incidents of driver incursions onto the sidewalk, one of which killed an infant. We're calling on the City to install bollards on Hornby to prevent this from continuously happening, and to serve as a pilot for expanded sidewalk protection.

we often say someone was "the best to ever do it," but she was, in fact, the best to ever do it. RIP to the funniest woman who ever lived.

After more than 55 years serving the people of New South Wales, tomorrow is the last ever run in public service of a V set interurban double deck electric train. So this is the perfect time for a photographic tribute to these venerable, hard working and much loved trains. 1/n

Great points by @ldobsonhughes.bsky.social here. Canada cannot be a global leader in line with Carney's vision without the personnel to do the crucial work of diplomacy. These layoffs target the very people who would staff Canadian nodes of the flexible network Carney proposes.

it's not that serious but you can still find roger ebert's 4 star review and contrast it with pauline kael's negative review if you want to see how much was lost when artistic tastemakers, flawed as they were, got replaced by yelp for da movies

#Toronto now, Toronto then Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. Transit needs signal priority, dedicated lanes.
