People riding bikes in a downtown Vancouver separated bike-lane
It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.
Safe bike-lanes mean business.
My quote from an Axios interview, stating that: People often think of climate change as a separate bucket at the end of a long row of other buckets of problems we're trying to fix that are wrong in the world," Hayhoe told Axios. This includes poverty, disease and access to clean water. "Climate change is not a separate bucket," Hayhoe said. "The reason we care about climate change is that it's the hole in every bucket."
If you take the time to read the whole Gates memo (which I did), the bulk of the content was mostly solid and encouraging. Really!
It was the FRAME that was off--very off, from the first line.
And when your framing is off, then how you make decisions and set priorities is off. THAT'S the problem.
the thing about bad zoning is that we could have a magical Star Trek-style housing replicator capable of making new homes for free and it *would not solve the problem* because the law would prohibit it from working

As Lake Superior warms, it's growing greenish clouds of blue-green algae, which is actually a bacteria. One researcher is tracking it himself, saying authorities aren't acting fast enough to educate the public about preventing blooms and avoiding their dangers. thenarwhal.ca/lake-superio...

A new study looking at logging practices in northeastern Ontario finds forests have been managed to get as much timber out as possible, rather than sustainably harvested — going against the province’s own guidelines. VIA @fatimabsyed.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/ontario-fore...

72% of people swept up in Trump’s immigration raids have no criminal record.
That includes at least 250 people detained in deplorable conditions in his “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida.
This was never about targeting criminals. It was always about terrorizing immigrants.
For the Heiltsuk Nation, climate change and the housing shortage are interconnected crises. To meet these challenges, the nation is building resilient, affordable homes that are grounded in culture and ready for the future. Photos and story by @sevawood.bsky.social: thenarwhal.ca/heiltsuk-nat...

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter.
They graded it.
Bwahahaha.
The Conservatives republished their platform with a commitment to crack down on ‘woke ideology’ in the public service and federal funding for research.
Since Trump took office, he has ended all DEI programs, laid off staff, vowed ‘to end wokeness’ in education, and even targeted museums. #elxn45

You have to see this.
PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.
