It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
Can’t imagine why all these politicians who we allow to be abusive and terrible in public life without consequence feel like they have impunity to do harms in private, also.
this is a huge deal!
The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes.
In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist.

The change will reduce the strain on families, particularly those with multiple children who rely on the transit service, he added. Henderson said he was not aware of the new transit funding before the Free Press contacted him for comment Monday.
One of the frustrating things about the Kinew government, and true of Gillingham also, is that they only use consultation as a delay tactic and don’t believe in involving stakeholders in actual planning. Even when they land on good ideas, they come as surprises, not from collaboration.
Mayor Gillingham keeps bringing up the idea that the goal of infrastructure improvements on Wellington Cres should be to “maximize traffic flow” and that’s definitely the ideology at the root of the delay on safety there and everywhere in Winnipeg.
Scott Gillingham says we should wait for any change to a dangerous street because we might have a better fix down the road. Scott Gillingham says your life doesn’t matter in an election year unless you’re in a car.
It's wild that we're all expected to politely tolerate a mayor and city council who can barely manage to disguise their contempt and antipathy for a huge number of the people who live in this city. Democracy is a nuisance to them even though it's the reason they have their jobs at all! #Winnipeg
Functionally, “fare enforcement” serves as a ridership reducer rather than a revenue generator, with direct costs far higher than any added fares collected, and indirect costs in worker absenteeism, reduced spending at missed destinations, missed medical appointments, and other invisible losses.
a winnipeg rapid transit bus and a pickup truck head-on collision that crumpled the hood of the truck. the bus banner says “SORRY”
a winnipeg transit bus hovering awkwardly behind a smashed up sedan. the bus is steadfastly avoiding eye contact but its banner reads “SORRY”
a winnipeg transit bus facing a cop car as if they are two people in a hallway who shifting the same direction so neither can pass. it’s awkward. the bus banner reads “SORRY”
a winnipeg transit bus slumping away, guiltily. the banner sign on the back reads “SORRY”

Shoutout Turks and Caicos regardless. Happens 🙂
AGENT ASHCROFT? WELL HOW THE HELL ARE YOU? UMBRELLA? GOOD IDEA, YOU NEVER KNOW WITH THIS WEATHER.
City hall security is preventing members of the public from attending the press conference.
Janice Lukes is trying to delay safety AGAIN
LUKES BRINGS FORWARD MOTION TO SCRAP TEMPORARY BIKE LANES AND INSTALL PERMANENT BIKE LANES ON WELLINGTON CRESCENT NEWS RELEASE: February 25, 2026
EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION for Wellington Cres bike lane Pilot, TODAY at noon. Janice Lukes moving to kill pilot in favour of vague proposal for permanent lanes later

That the Proper Officers of the City be authorized to implement the intent of the foregoing.
So, who is ready to be mad at city hall again? Public Works agenda is up for next week, and they want to do *NOTHING* on safer speeds for *ANOTHER YEAR*
Genuinely fascinated by this "emergency shovelers" concept. This is... maybe what it looks like when your city gives a shit about the sidewalks being cleared too, not just the roads? 🤔
Don’t give Winnipeg city council any ideas.
Mayor's inner circle votes unanimously to cut $2.5 million from the Roadway Safety Budget #winnipeg #wpgpoli

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further
This is the kind of thing Evan Duncan wants to make punishable by a $5,000 fine, per person
I wonder what the NDP MLAs who helped kill The Protection of Critical Infrastructure Act when they were in opposition think of the Safe Access to Vulnerable Infrastructure By-law.
“The chaos that is unfolding south of us right now is a clear indicator that it’s coming our way and if we don’t put these things in place to stop that, it’s going to be your neighborhood next”
Is Duncan saying Winnipeg is banning actions similar to the Twin Cities resistance to ICE violence? WHY
Evan Duncan’s intent is to limit protest. He wants to be able to do what Trump is doing without the dissent. That’s why he’s proposed the most extreme version of this by-law in all of Canada.
a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, everything was totally fucked up. this is the story of three losers, a wolfman, and their two robot friends
More great video from yesterday’s unity ride in Minneapolis, from Recovery Bike Shop.
This one has a clip of our city council president, @elliottpayne.org , corking an intersection to keep other riders safe.
Minneapolis is a special place.
