Downtown Vancouver separated protected bike-lane filled with people on bikes

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across currently unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river.

The hellebores are in full bloom and snowdrops have sprouted in Vancouver and it’s only mid-February

Considering the local mountains have got any snow, all signs point to another ugly summer ahead

Silicon Valley's Push Into Transportation Has Been a Miserable Failure The titans of tech brought plenty of disruption to our broken transportation system but delivered little in the way of innovation.

“Elon Musk admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announced—even though he had no intention of pursuing it—was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project to get in the way of that actually succeeding.” — @parismarx.com in @gizmodo.com

Now he’s much, MUCH worse.

Opinion: Canada’s passenger rail lines are getting revived after decades of vanishing service Across North America, there is a grassroots clamouring for the return of railway lines that once provided a reliable and affordable alternative to cars and planes

“The imminent return of trains to northern Ontario and the Gaspé Peninsula is great news. But we need to make sure it’s only the beginning of a long-lasting national passenger rail revival.”

@taras-grescoe.com makes the case for Canada’s trains.

I appreciate theses bits. ESPECIALLY ACTUAL SALARIED ANIMATORS.

Pierre Poilievre doubles down on trans hate while pretending to champion 'free speech' Parroting Donald Trump, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is dishing trans hate to score cheap points with the anti-woke crowd.

Conservatives prove once again that they’ll take any opportunity to bully a minority group — especially in trying to downplay problems with guns and incel culture.

Revisit an editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

What a wild swing from CITY to Denmoku. In the former, the stylized cels define the aesthetic that the backgrounds must follow, so the result is seamless simplicity. For the latter, painterly & abstract BGs have the leading voice, to the point of occasionally filtering character layers to match them

Opinion | Something Surprising Happens When Bus Rides Are Free

One argument for free transit I hadn't considered.

A public prosecutor defends Mayor Mamdani's free bus initiative, saying it will free up #NYC courtrooms, where too much time is wasted fining and incarcerating people for fare evasion.

AI is truly a nightmare. People truly don't understand it. I recommend Karen Haos book Empire of AI

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

The vast majority of Canadians support bans on handguns and assault rifles.

Pierre Poilievre has voted against every gun control measure in Parliament since 2004.

There used to be foam gnomes I made for April Fools everywhere but I think they slowly have been taken out 😅. Though Balboop may still be there.
