As someone recently 'doored' and concussed after cycling in sharrows,
I'll spell it out again...

Paint.
Isn't.
Infrastructure.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 10h

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Like much of that this regime does, the murders of Venezuelan fishermen and boat passengers seem to be being conducted for the sake of making social media content that demonstrates Trump’s masculine dominance. So one way to describe them is as snuff films.

They've been taking math lessons from Donald Trump. He's going to reduce drug prices "by 1000%" and they're going to reduce carbon emissions "by 165 times."

If you reduce emissions by one times, that would pretty much be all of them, wouldn't it.

Jeep has pulled the update; owners are advised to ignore it if it already downloaded.

The lack of will on the part of our elected leaders to address the crisis facing healthcare in Canada keeps leading to horror stories of hallway medicine, people dying in emergency waiting rooms, and vast numbers of people without family doctors.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Things that are cash grabs: Ford selling 99 year lease of public park (Ontario Place) to private company; successive governments taking taxpayer money earmarked for health and education and giving it to private companies. Things that are not cash grabs: fines for breaking the law.
