Children and adult nearly struck and killed by negligent speeding driver. Mild fines issued when people are struck and killed.
Staff claim these weak amber flashing lights are sufficiently safe. They are not.

The promise to save drivers time is backfiring. The reason? Simple economics.

this road closure/traffic map is basically just a map of where I see some of the most questionable driving in the city.

map of Waverley-Fall River-Goffs area of HRM, with several car crashes indicated by symbols. The “inbound” lane of the 118 is closed.

Nova Scotia - a province known for endless rainy days & many bountiful rivers & lakes - is into its 4th month of extreme drought. This is the French River, that provides Tatamagouche with water (or not). Climate crisis kicking in. But: let’s frack and clearcut anyway, says NS Premier Tim Houston.

A rocky and pebbly riverbed with almost no water in it, and in the middle of the gravelly empty middle, grass is growing. Some reddish and green shrubs are visible on the left of the photo.

This is my friend's early 2000s Ford Ranger next to todays "modern" trucks as she drives home to the NWT from Alberta.

No one can tell me with a straight face that personal vehicles this large are needed for everyday life.
No one can tell me that vehicles this large are not a safety hazard for others using the road.
No one can tell me that vehicles like this do not contribute to the cost of living challenges we see and hear about every day [for the original purchase, fuel, and maintenance].
We as a society have experienced vehicle bloat without even noticing it, and marketing has convinced us that it is what we need. #carbloat #tanks #marketinggenius #trucktoobig

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

Israel seems to be intercepting right now.

I feel like at the speed the noise comes on at, it ends up making EVs louder than ICEs. And faster than that, it’s not the engine making noise, (in most cases), but the tires.

One of the things I still can't wrap my mind around is people who are not urbanists inability to recognize "luxury" is purely a marketing term applied to new housing to denote its newness.

Ned Resnikoff @resnikoff.bsky.social · 17d

Whenever people talk about "luxury housing," I remember there are literal mansions in Hartford, CT that are now selling for less than it costs to buy a starter home in Silicon Valley. If we judge luxury by market value, there is no housing that is intrinsically, permanently "luxury housing."

In a bubble, it would be great as a pedestrian street. But it’s a pretty integral transit street, too, which feeds into the foot traffic. For the couple days it was “car-free,” it was a much more pleasant place to walk and ride.
