PSA: People on bikes aren’t swerving to annoy drivers, they’re just trying not to die or destroy their mode of transportation.
This is generally what the bike portion looks like of our β€œshared” roads. Glorious.

We regularly see Toronto prosecutors toss cases or police fail to submit disclosure where cyclists have been hit by dangerous motorists, resulting in life altering injuries. This is a travesty. An injustice. Fantastic reporting by the Star's @alyshah.bsky.social:

According to the broadcast, #MLB says that there was interference on the Lowe home run, but they could not definitively determine that the ball would not have left the park regardless.

That's pretty weak, I think. #Bluejays

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Earlier this year, I asked, "Why is Doug Ford trying to kill us?" Now he is at it again. Because nothing, nothing in Ontario should be allowed to slow down drivers.

Margaret Atwood and others have called on Canada to protect its sovereignty. But is Mark Carney’s minister listening? Last week, dozens of Canadian public figures wrote a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney calling on him to do more to protect Canada from external threats.

Impotent statements like these are why Russia feels free to attack us.
This wasn’t an β€œincursion of drones.” Russia attacked Poland.
We shouldn’t β€œcondemn it.” We should hit Russia with serious, damaging consequences.
We shouldn’t β€œcall on Russia” to stop. We should stop them.

Protect yourselves and your loved ones, Never visit the US, Never buy US.
Their borders are unsafe, their schools are unsafe, their cities are unsafe, their food is unsafe.
There is nothing safe or sane about the US anymore.
