Failing to take the province's temperature so catastrophically that you call a snap election then lose it to [consults notes] TBD is a legendarily smooth move.

and 29 km of that is the Seawall- a route for at least 10km of that is primarily recreational. So really, Vancouver is down to 80ish km. Take away arbutus and central valley greenway and that's another 20km. Yeah, Vancouver isn't a bike friendly city.

the year is 2521. unprotected parts of vancouver are three metres underwater. the sky is perpetually orange. the main form of entertainment is artificial intelligence populated worlds rationed by the government. and this will still be the weather for the first week of the pne

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

Almost 2 years ago we helped pass a council motion to add 8 new bus lanes. We've seen minimal progress to date, with predictable excuses: design, consultation, cost... It turns out you can just do good things!

Pfizer and Valneva's Lyme disease vaccine shows 73.2% efficacy in phase 3 trials, increasing the potential for it to become the first approved vaccine for human use. The vaccine targets Borrelia bacteria, offering significant preventive potential against Lyme disease.

This is so well done. 👌

Politics has unexpectedly hit a special interest of mine so here is a quick rundown on the Avignon Papacy.

This is why I don't use this stuff at all, it ruins your ability to think, and that's the one thing I think we should refuse to give up for anything.

Oh good we made it through April 1st, now I can go back to believing everything I read on the internet!

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

I honestly don’t know if this is 1:1 applicable, but I think it’s relevant that the Luddites didn’t “smash the machines” because they were being replaced, or they feared the machines. They did it because the machines let the companies make WAY more money, yet the Luddites’ wages weren’t increasing.

you ever think about how in the iconic live performance of fleetwood mac's silver springs there was a camera on stevie nicks the whole time but sometimes they cut away from her which means there could be a director's cut that shows us her full rage for the entire minute long climax

Put that goal shot directly into my veins Yes it's preseason Yes it's against Calgary's backup But if Petey is shooting like that all season, we are so back youtu.be/3ZMgqondqaw?...

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

I, for one, look forward to Canada financially reminding those in America's federal positions of power why they are supposed to divest their individual stock holdings for conflict of interest. It also shields them from targeted political blow-back.

Hey Americans apologizing for your countries' actions. I get it, but at the same time, this isn't a "oopsie" thing. This will destroy the Canadian economy. The action is to call and write your reps and demand better from your electeds. This is economic war on your closest ally, act like it.
