Hey, I know a lot of you use Discord.
You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too.

My roommate is a teacher and has reported that ICE has been hanging around Septa stops and depots in the interest of abducting kids on their way home because they aren’t allowed to enter schools. They claimed to be part of a “Septa Strike Force” which does not exist. Boost if you can.

Here is a template letter, with alt text for copy-pasting, to send to your state AG, or tweak to send to your reps, etc. It will take two minutes. Find their contact here: www.naag.org/find-my-ag/
![Dear [AG],
I'm curious what [State] is doing to combat this pervasive sexual harassment and abuse of primarily women and children:
https://defector.com/whos-responsible-for-elon-musks-idiot-chatbot-producing-on-demand-child-sexual-abuse-material
https://futurism.com/future-society/grok-violence-women
The industrial-scale generation and distribution of revenge porn and CSAM on Twitter/X is blatantly criminal by all involved, and in violation of both state and federal law.
I hope to see serious charges announced against Elon, Twitter/X management, Grok developers, and any individual users publicly sharing images of [State] residents. Anything less is tacit approval to continue this monstrous, illegal spree.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qnjqnno3fftf2wj4xfkxpt32/bafkreiefbqpox4q2s4vgdigpitfmoh73yxeljh6cogy3x2mmnesqeeqzri@jpeg)

This should be major news: literally dozens of book bans in Canada today, because of a ministerial order by Alberta's provincial government. The titles are being withheld by the school districts... I think Canadians have a right to know what books are being banned in our public schools.
Today, Alberta's two biggest school divisions say dozens of books have been taken off shelves as the province's ban took effect this week.
34 titles were removed by the Edmonton Public School Division, and 44 were removed by the Calgary Board of Education:

Like so many of us, I *clearly* remember watching the violent attempt to overthrow democracy, live, in real time & unedited on TV after reading, hearing & seeing months of clear, intentional steps toward that goal on this day.

4 cancellations and a 44 minute late.
Creating 2 hours and 30 minutes without service at -18, in snow, for one of the poorest parts of town.
Bad weather gives opportunity for public transit to trump stressful car diving. This is not it. This is just selling more cars and sending #ottawa backwards

Didn’t notice this yesterday, but four 14 St Laurent trips were cancelled back to back, and then the 6:51 trip after the gap was 44 mins late- making for a ~2hr30min gap in service! (@jleiper.bsky.social @arieltroster.com)

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January
This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture.
In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

I just saw a video talking about the Tesla door safety problem and the number of comments that are like, "well you should read the manual" are...shocking.
No, cars should be intuitively safe. Passengers are not reading the manual. Are you doing a safety briefing every time you give someone a ride?

Same thing here on Bank Street! Yet study after study shows that other modes of transportation are typically bringing in much more business on a regular basis!
The easier we make it for those other people to shop there, the better the businesses will do!

“Survey after survey has shown that business owners overestimate how many customers drive to their stores vs walking or biking. In a 2012 Los Angeles study, more than half of the store owners on the bike-laned part of the boulevard thought most of their customers drove. The actual number was 15%.”
I read all the studies on the economic impact of bike lanes. Here's what I learned.
Research proves that bike lanes are good for business. So why do so many stores and restaurants still oppose them?
