Guys! I heard a bird chirping outside! 🐦🌷☀️

Brian Lilley & @brianlilley Follow Hey @UberEats I paid for fast delivery. It took an hour. The food is cold. Your customer service site doesn't let me submit anything. Why am I paying you extra money for people who don't bring my food directly to me and instead ride a bike all over town in the freezing cold?

Remove the bike lanes!

Okay, but hear me out.

Incredible. If attendance doubles to 120 people after being open for less than 48 hours, London’s current winter response is clearly not enough. 396 beds offered by community partners, plus 120 at East Carling yesterday. Where will these folx go when Carling closes? t.co/d7eRhPOYAs

The wind gusts are devastating. Truly a hurricane of fire.

The existence of billionaires indicates a failure of the tax system. Tax them back to being millionaires. No one needs that kind of money or the power it buys. Also, it can't be a true meritocracy if billionaires exist.

I used to love going to the salad bar but then they put up a sneeze guard and turned it into an echo chamber

There's nothing I can do to stop the broligarchy from happening, but at least I don't have to witness the takeover in real time.

A little bit of local #LdnOnt art to brighten your dreary morning. I won this very large, striking painting by Donnie Ray 10 years ago or so at the IABC Virtuoso awards.

hey guys here’s Godzilla in Montreal

One thing I’ll always be grateful to pre-Elon Twitter for is proving that a city planner talking about better cities could grow a really big audience on social media. When I started, I never would have thought a practicing city planner could get to 155K followers.

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

My favourite part of my day were the 3 senior ladies across the aisle from me on the train drinking gin & tonics at 11 am and talking about defending trans rights. #retirementgoals
