Hey, @jmcelroy.bsky.social, Mayor Krog is coming for you with this #Degrassi chart that may make @thatkevinsmith.bsky.social speak.

I totally knew that was the mayor. Lol

Hear me out: a new expensive kitchen gadget of the month club. Every month a new awesome kitchen gadget arrives at your door, and then you get to make it your whole personality for 30 days until it’s dead to you, then a new one shows up and you send the old one back without losing any counter space

This Co-op gas station sign I saw this week basically advertises that it has staff who are snacks.

DHS begins targeting unaccompanied children with 'voluntary' deportation offer Children asked to waive right to see a judge in exchange for $2,500

The Department of Homeland Security has begun targeting unaccompanied children in the immigration system with what they call a “voluntary option” to return to their countries of origin. via @laist.com

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

I cannot believe I did an entire minor in Communication and never once had anyone mention this is Harold Innis’s daughter?! An incredible legacy in her own right but it makes me realize she wasn’t getting mentioned, as I’m sure my profs would have said something.

My dear, sweet Anthony. I don’t know how to break this to you. 40 years ago was 1985.

DoorDash Plans to Send Autonomous Robots into Bike Lanes | Momentum Mag | Momentum Mag DoorDash has begun rolling out Dot, its new autonomous delivery robot — a sleek, all-electric bot that can hit speeds of up to 20mph.

“DoorDash intends to send autonomous robots into bike-lanes.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social

Here’s what’s frustrating…who cares what they “intend?” It’s up to City Hall what’s allowed in bike-lanes, NOT COMPANIES!

Stop acting like tech companies should be able to do whatever they want in cities.

You don’t want to know how much I paid for one night to come back for grad when we moved.

Um, I watched that show even when I was in my MBA….

Are candidates allowed to declare that far ahead? What’s the time limit in Vancouver? Curious, not criticizing.

This is a reminder that in 1997 they had a dancing baby make a guest appearance on a popular TV show and it’s all anybody talked about for a year and good god I miss when things like that were a big deal

I recommend everyone watches this

Will there be an announcement when things get bad enough that we can all stop making car payments or like how’s that gonna work

Is it possible that by “extra” and outside the “walkable” area, they meant poor kids?

How does this align for the City plan for inclusion? Why choose an author so blatantly associated with harm?

Greetings from Toronto, fellow bollard aficionados

Wasn’t jaywalking invented by car companies in the 1920s? Before the campaign, pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders shared the road.

And funds go to the TERF org?!

Who approved this? How does it align with the City Plan and human rights?

I just realized Smith came from a family of five.

Ah, thanks.

What’s a Community Service block? Can’t he just use a free block and then do course credit challenge and get the mark?

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Tbh, that is the most white bread Dunbar story I have ever heard. Was the character named McGavin? Did they escape from Broadway & Arbutus?

Hahahahaha

I don’t think @spokesmama.bsky.social has enough bikes. ;)

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”

Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
