[𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑛]: the alarming growth of private cars in height, width, length and weight at the expense of public space, the environment and overall safety.

On a packed train with my family. Couple across the aisle both alternatively playing social media videos on speakers at full volume. Managed not to say anything until the woman started playing a documentary about serial killers. I'm here with my daughter. I politely said...

My son just posed a lovely question: What piece or pieces of media -- movie, song, book, TV show, article, poem, etc -- has really changed how you think? (How you think about life, about the world, or just how you think.) Would love to hear your answer.

I mean, the level of playing is extremely high these days. Any serious musician who hopes to make a living is spending hours and fortunes honing their craft and "relentlessly drilling". Intense competition for a waning number of spots on the wheel....

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

This is really something. Fox News poll finds a solid majority of voters say Trump lacks the mental soundness to be president.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Tiger Woods says he'll seek treatment but is pleading not-guilty? Not sure how that works.

Gas prices busting your wallet? Take public transit… if you can.

🇺🇸 Traders placed $580mn oil bet ahead of Donald Trump’s social media post on Iran talks “My gut from watching markets for the last 25 years is this is really abnormal,” said a portfolio manager FT www.ft.com/content/1171...

As a retired airline Captain I flew into LGA and NY airspace hundreds of times. It is some of the world’s busiest airspace. To have only one ATC in the tower at LGA is criminal negligance. Not only is the airspace crowded and chaotic, so are the ground operations. Sean Duffy’s FAA owns this 100%

Incredible scene: Travelers wait on hours-long security line at George Bush International Airport in Houston while Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” blasts through the speakers. (video shared directly with me)

New GOP logo just dropped.

This is totally tennis: the rising star is neck and neck with the #1 until the tiebreak, and goes down (0). Not hard to see that coming at this stage. Let's see how Vicky responds in the second set. #fingerscrossed #mboko #indianwells #sabalenka

Trump threatens bridge to prevent Canadians from visiting country Canadians do not want to visit

American civil war expands to a football game. Us vs them is so tiresome.

Activists are calling for a “nationwide day of no school, no work and no shopping” across the U.S. on Friday, Jan. 30, to protest President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown following the fatal shootings of two people by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Damn proud of Minnesota.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Alex Pretti… This is who Trump’s secret police killed today in Minnesota. He was a VA nurse.

They are inching ever so closely to the civil war many MAGAs are craving. Americans: kiss your midterms goodbye. #minneapolis #minnesota #civilwar #MAGA

Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos by far. He understands the situation with clarity while others prevaricate, appease, and send late-night “Dear Donald” texts or call him “daddy.”

Customers are still prioritizing Buy Canadian—and each time Trump rants about Canada and how terribly Canadians treat him, they Buy Canadian that much more. https://macleans.ca/the-year-ahead/buy-canadian-is-transforming-grocery-shelves/

Things are off to new lows and terrible events in Trump’s America. Just the start.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Blue Jays win the AL East.

the modal domestic terrorist over the next decade is going to be a terminally online 20-something who cooks their brain in irony-poisoned social media spaces and decides to kill a bunch of people as an elaborate shitpost

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

Wow, the United States is really heading back to the Gilded Age for real, happening faster and faster now.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

‪@ehemess.bsky.social‬ · 1h I wonder if any of the talented, young Canadian tennis stars will ever make a second week of a Slam again? All three seem to have hit various types of walls or limits. #AugerAliassime #Shapovalov #Andreescu #Fernandez #wimbledon

Anthem singers: please don't try to get fancy, just stick to the version we can all sing together. I requires more musicianship on your part, but that's your job! #OCanada #BlueJays

Happy Canada Day. Here to help keep our land glorious and free. 🇨🇦

The #Sinner doping story has left me uneasy so I'm pulling for #Alcaraz today at Roland Garros.

We’re living through Trump’s conversion of the presidency into a global business operation—one in which family enrichment drives national policy. Foreign influence. Secret deals. Cryptocurrency grifts. Worse than just corruption, this is a blueprint for authoritarian kleptocracy.

Americans are no longer viewed as citizens. They are seen as consumers whose purpose it is is to serve the wealthy The whole world is going that way. #USA #TRUMPISM

Wow, what a horrific typo. Right on the cover.

Election day in a country that has had a fair and free vote for generations. Where all the opposition parties are free to take power. Where virtually everyone will accept the election result. After my last year, it’s a history and a privilege I’m more grateful for than ever. Let’s get at it.

“There is only one thing worse than fighting with your allies, and that’s fighting without them.” —Victor Hugo We’re entering the “worse” phase.

Wow, #Gretzky has really placed himself flush with the Trump regime.
