@intelpatrick.bsky.social try this!

THANK YOU!!!!
I tried last week, more than half of my storage is being taken up with apps and I have only installed 8. It's mostly AI shit. Really appreciate it.

Solid advice

Yeah.... um, how does one do such a thing? There are SO MANY apps now that don't have "uninstall". And I don't want any of them.

I use Windy... it is an excellent app, I have no idea if it is any better though. Man I hope so!

YOU can make a difference!

Me too!

Why so many Albertans think that conservatives are good fiscal stewards of provincial revenues is baffling. Maybe they don't care and prefer the blatant racism of the UCP, despite the economic harms that are created for all, including the UCP base.

Alberta’s UCP should take their ostrich heads out of the oil sands and lift their ban on renewable energy projects.

Also, remember when we swore we were going to “Build Back Better”? Like, we would make the economy recover but in more inclusive and sustainable ways and lock in better patterns for decades to come? This was the type of thing that was routinely said in the early 2020s.

I know I just posted the King's letter...but this is the best possible take on the situation

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

😂 omigod

1. The Premier's speech will likely have epic levels of racism tomorrow. Be prepared. Have strategies in place to manage hate, harm & harassment from the Alberta government. Self-care is #1.
2. How'd this get past the Alberta Black Advisory Council particularly in the middle of Black History Month?

4. Hoping all the pundits & commentators who show up on the political shows (like CBC's Power & Politics) call it straight, clear, and undeniable. No dancing around words, no tone policing. Say racism. Say xenophobia. Say it. Be brave. Think of those who are being rejected by their government.

It’s like the worst Parent/teacher interview where I don’t know where to start…1/2

I was alive last week too!!!

"Just making s**t up" — David Roberts sounds off on the EPA "To say members of Congress didn’t anticipate a specific pollutant is just f**king comical."

"To allege that interpreting the Clean Air Act in an open-ended way is some sort of violation of law is ridiculous. I don’t think anybody involved here is confused about the legal merits. Everybody on the right knows that they’re playing Calvinball here and that this is all bullshit." — @volts.wtf

The Legal Attack on Superblock Barcelona - City Lab Barcelona In this blog post, I attempt to unpack what this court ruling is about, the legal arguments, and who is behind it. Did the city really do something wrong?  What will happen to the Consell de Cent proj...

Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change.

Streets for people are good for business.

Look, if you can drag something 2/3 of your weight under a bed in the next room you deserve to keep it.

I’ll say it again. There IS such a thing as “vertical sprawl.” It’s not tall buildings. It’s tall buildings IN CAR-DEPENDENT SPRAWL.

If you do tall buildings in walkable, multi-modal urbanism, then it’s VERTICAL URBANISM, not vertical sprawl.

Suggesting otherwise means you don’t understand sprawl.

Laws restricting abortions linked to rise in 'abhorrently high' maternal mortality rates Rising state-level abortion restrictions in the United States were linked to a similar, parallel rise in maternal deaths from 2005 to 2023, according to research presented at The Pregnancy Meeting. ...

Researchers have found that 6 of 10 abortion restrictions — bans on Medicaid funding for abortion, mandated waiting periods, 2nd-trimester abortion bans, ACA marketplace insurance coverage bans, biased counseling laws, and ultrasound requirements — were linked to higher rates of maternal mortality.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
