"Playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs?!"

On November 25, 2001, after a lackluster five turnover plagued loss to the San Francisco 49ers that dropped the Colts to 4–6, a frustrated Indianapolis head coach Jim Mora addressed the media.

Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.

Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference.

Or both.

i wonder which of his buddies will benefit from this
70 years ago The Conservative Government of Leslie Frost "Old Man Ontario" instituted the Conservation Authorities Act as a response to the devastation of Hurricane Hazel. Now in the face of increased climate disasters Doug Ford is dismantling it.

Maybe I'm missing an important point, but the Ford gov's claim that "Landlords will lower rents if they can rent out more of their properties now that we've given them more power over tenants" feels like something you'd say if you'd never literally never heard of capitalism before in your life.

I walked along a few kms of College St this morning before 9am. Day care drop then carried on. Watched the people push and cycle their kids around, some dad on a cargo bike waved & said hi to some tweens walking in front of me. All very Sesame Street.

And this gov't has contempt for it all.
A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

If you like classic footage of Toronto streetcars, you'll like this link. This is some classic footage Richard Glaze shot of the Queen streetcar in snow between 1969 and 1976. I love how it all came together. You can practically hear the snow shushing the city. Check it out: youtu.be/RPoeU01rP28

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

that site is a joke 🤡
Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄
