Not a cell phone in sight. Just the community coming together, living in the moment, and solving wealth inequality the old-fashioned way. Absolutely beautiful vibes.

Today I'm housebound. The Courier (L), my winter workhorse w snow tires is incapacitated and the Roadrunner, my road trike, has bald tires. If I need to go out today, it'll be shanks mare. 🤷‍♂️🚶

#TreeByBike is better with friends!

We fit four cargo bikes, two fir trees and a kid in a single car parking stall.

And we got lots of looks riding home with this 2.5+ metre long tree on a cargo trailer.
A parking lot, mostly full of cars. In one of the parking spaces are: 3 small e-cargo bikes, an e-cargo trike, and a flatbed bike trailer. A Christmas tree is in the front bucket of the cargo trike, and another Christmas tree is strapped to the cargo trailer. A child stands to the right of the image, with their face down: showing their red bike helmet rather than their face. A Christmas tree is bound with twine and strapped to a bicycle cargo trailer, on a sidewalk. The e-cargo bike which pulls the trailer is pictured as well. It is late autumn, and there is a lot of dry brown foliage, and a dusting of snow in some spots.

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering. If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane." Image of long line at food bank

Americans Thomas Allen Jr. and William Sachtleben were possibly the first foreigners to bring bicycles to China: “On entering a Chinese city, we always made it a rule to run rapidly through until we came to an inn, and then lock up our wheels before the crowd could collect.”
Photo of three men: One in a long cloak, and the other two with bicycles. Writing on the photo indicates it was taken in north China on October 18, 1892.

On this day in 2001, Newfoundland officially changed its name to Newfoundland and Labrador.
The change was done through a constitutional amendment to foster unity in the province.
Labrador had been under Newfoundland's jurisdiction since 1809.
A black-and-white newspaper page from the Canadian Press with the headline "Province now bigger mouthful" and subheading "Newfoundland and Labrador name takes effect". The article by Michelle MacAfee is dated Ottawa. The main visual is a large map of eastern Canada showing Quebec and the newly renamed province labeled "NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR" in bold capital letters. A smaller inset map in the top-right corner shows an enlarged view of the disputed Labrador boundary area. An arrow on the main map points to a hatched section along the Quebec-Labrador border with the caption "DISPUTED AREA Claimed by Quebec, but considered a part of Labrador". A smaller box notes "Border before 1927" and "Current border drawn by Privy Council in 1927". The byline credits the map source as "Ministère des Ressources Naturelles, 1999" and cartographer "Justin Shawaga, Gazette Graphics". The article text is partially visible discussing the official name change signed by Governor General Adrienne Clarkson.

My hyper-local Saturday news from Utrecht:

📌 Neighbors are celebrating a wedding.
📌 Teens put fireworks into the trash bin.
📌 People are bringing home bargains from holiday sales.
📌 I fixed the brakes on a 14" bike at BikeFlip

What's your local news today?
Row houses with bikes in front of them. One house has a red carpet, garland, and Turkish flag in front of it. Fire truck and firefighters in front of a set of trash containers spewing smoke. Firecrackers in trash are such a common problem towards the end of the year that trash receptacles are often locked down. Person on a bike carrying what looks like a coat rack. Small child's bike at BikeFlip.

The persecution of huge numbers of brown people and even the mass deportations will not create the white country of far-right fantasy. It’s coupled with an attack on reproductive rights that is sometimes openly intended to make white women have more babies....

Are they mayors really this naive?

Ford is actively trying to make homelessness worse. Bill 60 is going to EXPLODE it. They do not care. SO long as the money keeps flowing from their developer donors, they couldn't possibly care any less.

Ford and his cabinet don't care. They don't care about the outcomes, and they don't care about the long-term financial cost of not acting now.

We need a viable Opposition.

"acc to a recent report from the Independent Electricity System Operator, wind, solar + battery storage could meet 99.5% of Ontario’s electricity needs, under all weather conditions — and at a lower cost than would be required to build nuclear reactors."

Swedish carmakers push to retain target as Germany lobbies to help its own industry by softening cutoff date www.theguardian.com/business/202...

While the Row is still just thinking, China is just doing
China has used the post‑2016 consolidation of its auto sector and the Covid shock to leapfrog legacy manufacturers, becoming the largest vehicle exporter and dominant EV producer, while the US has continued a long decline, Japan tried and has seemingly failed, and Germany have only modestly adapted. This shift is already reshaping global markets for vehicle prices, safety, oil demand and transport emissions. China is not waiting for others to catch up. China has more than 2/3 share of global markets in everything clean tech - including EVs

Not only that, but long before they're ready to be recycled to recover metals, they can be repurposed to store energy at commercial scale solar and wind farms, since they still retain 80% of their storage capacity when retired from EV use.
