More truck-free cargo trailer action! This was a 30-mile bike ride to pick up a bedroom set from a Craigslist ad. Once you live a car-lite or car-free lifestyle, you can't unsee the waste and inefficiency of personal car ownership. #CargoBikes #CarsRuinCities #FossilFuel #CleanAir #CarsStink

It’s pronounced cyclist.

Greta Thunberg has excoriated global leaders over their promises to address the climate emergency, dismissing them as “blah, blah, blah”. She quoted statements by Boris Johnson: “This is not some expensive, politically correct, green act of bunny hugging”, and Narendra Modi: “Fighting climate change calls for innovation, cooperation and willpower” but said the science did not lie. Carbon emissions are on track to rise by 16% by 2030, according to the UN, rather than fall by half, which is the cut needed to keep global heating under the internationally agreed limit of 1.5C. “Build back better. Blah, blah, blah. Green economy. Blah blah blah. Net zero by 2050. Blah, blah, blah,” she said in a speech to the Youth4Climate summit in Milan, Italy, on Tuesday. “This is all we hear from our so-called leaders. Words that sound great but so far have not led to action. Our hopes and ambitions drown in their empty promises.” ‘Blah, blah, blah’: Greta Thunberg lambasts leaders over climate crisis | Climate crisis | The Guardian

After Trump threatened Canada with a military takeover, Canada cancelled its order for 88 F-35 fighter jets worth $27,700,000,000.00 and is ordering 88 fighter jets from Saab in Sweden.
How many jobs will that cost us?
Is this making our country better?

Finally some good news, a country actually going to help.

If Israel does anything to the Spanish ship the EU is involved.

The EU was set up to create a coalition of countries working towards peace. With the backing of each other if anyone gets attacked.

The tell here is defining street capacity as a how many vehicles they can fit instead of the number of *people* they can move. Cars are the least efficient way to move people.

With 29% of all trips made by bike and 64% of bike trips made by women, Osaka is a cycling city beyond compare. What makes it even more remarkable is these gains were made in spite of very little dedicated infrastructure. So what can we learn from a place that didn't build it, and they came anyway?🧵

Yes!!

FINALLY a politician debunking the household budget analogy AND making the obvious but never talked about point that investment in the NHS pays itself back many times over due to a healthier working population.

More of this please @zackpolanski.bsky.social it's SUCH a breath of fresh air.

This is quickly mushrooming into a real international incident

when she had her job at msnbc i was always frustrated because i could see her biting her tongue and then finally boiling over and they could not contain her, now that she is free and easy she is a lot more fun to watch. and i am "spicy" AF 🤍☪️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Blasting through a stop arm could kill a kid. A proper fine would be 10x that on the 1st offense.

I wish some people were this outspoken and passionate when a shooter murders a handful of children just trying to exist in school.

Picture of wide, blank, dead downtown street

If your downtown still has many wide and fast one-way streets, then your priority is to move cars as fast as possible thru a weak downtown. It’s NOT to create a vibrant downtown, help downtown retailers, keep people safe, support walkability and accessibility, reduce pollution, etc. #TrafficSewers

side of a building with a parking lot in front with a billboard that says smoking tables next to non-smoking tables used to be normal too.

It is wrong for the federal government to force these workers to go to work and not be paid. No one should stand for that. This move also sets a dangerous precedent and sends the wrong message to Air Canada instead of holding this very profitable company accountable.

Chris Smalls, the leader of the Amazon union workers movement, is putting his life on the line for Gaza. He's been illegally kidnapped and detained by IDF forces alongside all other members of the Handala.

The new electric SUV market under battery supply constraints: Might they increase CO2 emissions? Two trends have shaped the European car market over the past decade: electrification and SUVisation. Recently, they have merged in a new product: the …

reminder that not *all* business owners oppose transit lanes, only a loud couple.

couple business owners on Bathurst came out to the press conference today to express their support for bus lanes because it's a no-brainer - most customers don't drive in this part of the city anyways
