“The Ford Govt in Ontario has passed a controversial omnibus bill banning municipalities from installing speed cameras.

Ford says it will make the province more efficient & reduce red tape.

It won’t do either, and he knows it.

It might get him “speeder votes” though.

This will kill more people.

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

We've got the Chernobyl story wrong.

It wasn't a technical failure. It was a catastrophic failure of psychological safety.

A culture of fear, secrecy, and blame-shifting led directly to that reactor's meltdown.

For urbanists out there, a really fun video by @evanedinger.bsky.social who spent a day cycling in both London and Paris. I've mostly cycled in Paris and love the changes and admit I find way too many hostile cars in London, but it's still good. Well worth watching!

I was going to install MacOS Tahoe (the latest one, with liquid glass UI) but I thought I'm going to wait until they realize how bad it is and get rid of it.

Everyone has the right to make mistakes and fix them. I hope they realize quickly 😅

WTF. 🤯

Postman's server's are down and you can't even use desktop app with your local APIs!

This is exactly why I made yaak.app. It works offline, is open source, has no telemetry, no VC funding, and even syncs with Git!

Give it a try and let me know what you think ✨
