This is who you're asking to work on the weekend.

I bought a new bike and I forgot how lovely it is. I got tired so I tossed it on an R5, I joined the bike rave and hung out at Crab Park. It's difficult and joyful! I love my ebike but what a nice return.

The greatest risk to world peace is a Republican president's popularity dipping too low.

My latest and favourite tattoo.

And now we're friends for life.

Lol what have I been tagged into

Every disgusting thing I've ever seen has the potential to be beautiful. I think that idea is very important.

Everything comes from and flows out of art. Whatever it is, that's always been true.

Change by Big Thief

Good guys win!

And guess what Legion is better than both of them.

You shouldn't be able to trade options. That whole market is a wild perversion of commodity speculation which itself is a perversion of insurance. I also think Severance is okay but Maniac is better.

One of the many tragedies of Musk being the absolute worst person on the planet is that the NASA Space-X Crew Return 9 made ocean fall and a pod of dolphins came to welcome the returning astronauts and we heard nothing about that special moment.

Social activities interact with one-another in a very cool way, whether it's hearing about a place to go on transit or following a crowd to a point of interest. Cars isolate people, exist to cheapen any particular place.

Bike lanes, bus lanes, sidewalks. Business is the interaction between people and merchants. Cars limit interactions by design, isolating people from potential.

I think the city should buy The Bay and turn most of it into affordable apartments but at least one floor should remain a creepy liminal space for cultural enrichment.

Staff at my community center just wished me a "happy workout". Sir, I don't come here to be happy.

Psyched to dip my toe into non-hegemon snacks.

It's pretty cool to see how quickly every store in my neighborhood swapped out American products.

NEW - Vancouver mayor Ken Sim will be bringing forward a motion to council to pause approving net new supportive housing units in Vancouver until other municipalities take on more supportive housing. #bcpoli

The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

Something serious is happening at Rosser and Hastings. I'm hoping it's not another deadly crash.

The World's Dumbest Bike Lane Law Just Passed in Canada YouTube video by Not Just Bikes

This is a great breakdown of the Ontario bike lane legislation, what bike lanes do, and why being against them is nonsense. Ontarians deserve data-driven and not spite-driven decision-making.

The profit margin for private insurance is around 3% or so which says a lot about the incredible amount of waste that goes into profit for a very small number of people.

Knowing they can change the steam clock tune whenever they like is up there with being able to project whatever we want on city hall as far as local Pandora's boxes go.

You used to be able to get an abortion in any state very recently and now many women are subject to criminal charges or forced to carry the corpse of a dead baby to term.

I think it's pretty interesting that they hide behind being pro-worker, but they somehow never pass any pro worker legislation. Everything they do makes life harder for folks. They virtue signal and that is all.

The right has been dismantling harm reduction for years because ultimately they want the people they hate to suffer. There is no moral underpinning, they are guided by only one thing: to cast their enemies as unclean and to purge them.

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally.

Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially.
