Here’s a very readable new book with an unusual potential to make an impact on the conversation about better cities — “Life After Cars: Freeing Outselves for the Tyranny of the Automobile” by @sgoodyear.bsky.social @brooklynspoke.bsky.social @naparstek.bsky.social from @thewaroncars.bsky.social 8/

Thanks @brenttoderian.bsky.social for including us!

Excited! @sarawhitehead.bsky.social and I are travelling in from #Ptbo for it. Have room for 2 carpool buddies.

Also have a meeting with @parkpeople, just down the hall from @cycletoronto.bsky.social, while there.

Resist and continue to point out their lies and continue to truth👇🏻

“… restricting the public’s ability to delegate on those issues is not helpful in building trust and confidence between the public and our elected officials, which at all levels of government seems to be at an all-time low” @dianetherrien.bsky.social

Happy Imbolc or #groundhog Day to those who celebrate. Currently listening to #ptbomusic davidmarshall1.bandcamp.com/album/cross-...

If public transit and cycling had even 10% of the subsidies we give to car culture, our cities would look completely different.

Toronto cyclists defend bike lane challenge before Ontario's top court | CBC News A group of Toronto cyclists were in Ontario's highest court on Wednesday to defend their successful challenge of the province's plan to rip up three stretches of the city's bike lanes.

"The Ford government is wasting time and public money on a bad-faith culture war, against the advice of its own experts, at a moment when Ontarians need leadership focused on real solutions for real challenges,"

Michael Longfield, of @cycletoronto.bsky.social previously told @nationalobserver.com: “Ripping out bike lanes that were put in through proper city processes won’t fix congestion — it puts people’s lives at risk ... that’s true whether it’s in Toronto or anywhere in Ontario.”

It's inarguable at this point that the winter maintenance of bike lanes (especially along arterial roads) is not keeping up with roads and sidewalks.

311 is how the City tracks concerns (or lack thereof). #BikeTO let's start reporting these unrideable lanes en masse:

Great ideas for a safer city here.

Also… why isn’t @cityptbo.bsky.social active yet? Surely they’re not still on the bad place.

Despite cycling advocates winning a landmark Charter victory last July, Premier #DougFord is challenging the decision in the Ontario Court of Appeal, doubling down on his vision to make more room for cars (& endangering cyclists in the process). We’re not backing down.

"Where this goes from here depends almost entirely on whether the rule of law continues to be torn asunder by ... Trump"

One of Robert Popper’s silly shopping lists as a till receipt

I have been printing these out and leaving them lying around on desks in the office. Nobody throws receipts away in offices just in case they are important.

The Third Reich

The Trump administration
The Party / Ingsoc

the list goes on… as does the resistance

"They must resign" really seems weaksauce. It's what you ask of someone who shows up late or doesn't make their quota or suchlike.

"They must be prosecuted" or "they and everyone who supports them, and the institution they run, should be torn down" is a moderate position.

The extreme position…
