This week's Thanksgiving travel is set to break records.
If you're traveling, be kind to those around you.
And remember that flying sucks so much these days because of the greed of the airlines. https://youtu.be/eTzaMXXelew?si=Iadyozwl-WcAKwzT

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.
As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

It’s delivered monthly in a large brown sack to my porch, along with ingredients to make chemtrails and space lasers that the public isn’t ready to hear about.

I think he makes an excellent point - we should all pay for the road infrastructure according to how much wear and tear we impose on it. So bikes are still free, small cars cost a bit and idiotic deathtrucks cost a HUGE amount.

I can't put into the words the visceral hatred I feel towards the administration in the US. The pain their behaviour is causing to Ukrainians is unforgivable.
Ukrainians have russians terrorising them with missiles & drones. Now the US is terrorising them with russian demands for capitulation.

Second pro cyclist to be hit by a driver over the last week.
Unless there’s a justifiable reason for it, hitting a cyclist should result in an immediate driving ban, with the term decided upon according to the driver’s actions/failures in causing the collision.

Back in school, I wrote an essay about how two-tier healthcare would improve access for everyone.
It makes intuitive sense: create a second line and the original one gets shorter, right?
A better look at the evidence and arguments like Picard's changed my mind. 🧵

Picard’s point on AB’s new “dual practice” plan: evidence shows letting surgeons bill public & private won’t fix wait times, it likely lengthens them, drains staff from public hospitals, adds red tape, and undermines access.
A solution in search of a problem. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/70a7e73...

Allowing doctors to practise in both public and private systems solves what exactly?
What Alberta is proposing may sound good superficially, but it makes no sense in the Canadian context

The entrance to the 3-storey bike parking garage at Utrecht Central holding 12,500 bicycles. It’s free for the first 24 hours, linked to the station, and used by tens of thousands every day. This is what happens when a country treats bikes as real transport infrastructure, not an afterthought.
