I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

There are those ones that are made of metal and can be manually removed for maintenance, but that doesn’t help in the emergency case.

Gosh how’d that asphalt get so beaten up?

Spring is in the air! Which means it's time for CAA, local media and politicians to all partake in their annual ritual of griping about #HamOnt brutal potholes, while ignoring the cost and the question, what makes the asphalt so pristine, where no cars go? 🤔 🚴‍♂️

PSA: People on bikes aren’t swerving to annoy drivers, they’re just trying not to die or destroy their mode of transportation.
This is generally what the bike portion looks like of our “shared” roads. Glorious.

Honestly, he might be responsible for the most deaths if infectious diseases get out of control. He’s already responsible for making it harder to get Covid vaccines and dismisses the importance of MMR and other life saving vaccines.

Missed the 5000-mile photo, but 5005 still feels like a milestone.
That’s 5005 miles since I got the bike back in January 2023.
It might not sound like much over 33 months compared to driving, but it covers nearly all my city trips, about 5 miles a day, even though I work from home 99% of the time.

“Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned… Eyes Up, meanwhile, was more of an aggregation service pooling together information to preserve evidence in case the material is needed in the future in court.”

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

I go out of my way to bike on quiet roads, so when I do drive, I see a lot more bad behavior. It is MADNESS out there. Running reds, going too fast, turning right in front of oncoming traffic… this is what I saw just today to drop off and pick up kids.
