This driver came racing up being us at an illegal and unsafe speed, followed way too close & made me super nervous.

I checked my mirror and they were staring at their phone like this the entire time (including while driving close behind us).

Trump is increasing his orange hitler makeup in protest. “I don’t like Canada, their states are not normal. I’m going to send some drones to shoot down the boats between Minnesota and Alrbraga”

Took the train today… just kidding, I froze my hands on my bike taking the trail beside it 😂 The stations are really car centric out there. You can’t even walk or bike to the bus areas. Do buses even stop there if they’re not replacement buses?

A map of me on my bike beside the O-Train line.

A sign at a bus/train station says no walking or biking.

I love standing for a whole game behind someone who is taller than me. “though he says added standing room would boost capacity to 6,600.”

BikeBike In Calgary @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social · 4d

Politicians like to bleat on and on about getting tough on crime.

But not crimes committed with cars.

Those aren't crimes to them. They're the cost of doing business in a car dependent city. #yyccc

Don't expect anyone to care when you are the next victim. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Two people struck crossing Calgary roads; one incident leaves victim in critical condition

Two more people have been taken to hospital after getting hit while crossing Calgary roads in separate incidents across the city.

The #InternetOfShit

The Washington post - Smart beds flipped out during the AWS outage, and so did their sleepy owners.
Some Eight Sleep mattress users had a rude awakening after the Amazon Web Services outage, with reports of beds stuck upright and haywire temperatures.

Can confirm a lot of Montreal fans, they also seemed to have decent bus transportation arranged, which was not really the same for the Ottawa fans.

Maybe initially for me… did the city come anywhere close to #Vision20PercentLess

Well in case you’re not listening atm most/all of the rural and suburban councillors and the mayor of #ottawa voted against a procedural suspension of the rules to include a motion or something about Lansdowne 2.0

These people are going to fuck us over and not even be able to tell you why

Here’s a secret the city doesn’t really want you to know about - they have already taken out over $300 million in debt authority for Lansdowne 2.0 before the project is approved by Council.
