reply from Emma Harrison's office (L-Peterborough) on Canada's Iran response concern. Biggest problem: complete failure to even mention let alone condemn US and Israel for illegal, immoral actions. This is not "actively engaging with the world as it is." It's cowardice and dishonour.

Have you seen this? This recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips that are by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

People aren't getting it. Carney plans to spend $1.7 billion on recruiting researchers from the US or who would otherwise go to the US. Yay, right? The *entire annual budget* of NSERC is $1.3 billion. And he's cutting that.

At LAC BAC too. Staff say the intermittent site freezing is from crawling AI bots. Add this to next year's building move (assuming they can find a site for the library collection). Canada's national archive users are in for upheaval. www.404media.co/ai-scraping-...

The problem with Alberta is that back in the Devonian a bunch of phytoplankton died, and mats of organic sludge formed and were buried and diagenised into petroleum and somehow that became our greatest achievement.

Situated 60 kilometres west of Shanghai, Kunshan is “small” city home to two million residents, and a number of bike producers including Giant and Shimano. In recent years, it has established its brand as a cycling city, as part of a strategy to put itself on the map as “Kunshan Innovation Valley”.🧵

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Have to baby them now.

his book "is not an analysis but a story because the truth of the revolution in Morelos is in the feeling of it which I could not convey through defining its factors but only through telling of it." Albert Hirschman quoting John Womack's Zapata and the Mexican Revolution

Anthropologists tell stories in order to analyze the sh*t out of them, but sometimes I'd rather they'd just run with the story and cut the analytic crap.

Remembering this for some reason. Many were heading to the territories.

It’s VERY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Bike-lanes mean business.

Wow. When I was there 20 years ago this was still decked. (Though I was told to walk on the nailheads. In case.) 20ish years ago, at another cannery upcoast of this, Butedale, I saw dozens of barrels that the caretaker said were full of PCBs. Dock under them was still solid then. Now?

Nice. A growing list of winter cycling cities. Big fan here of Peterborough's Winter Wheels. And B!Ke too. Tires, tips, tools, confidence building, and way more.

This might be a big deal. Appeal court disagrees w NWT that govt-led caribou management is the only way. Allows Colville Lake community plan based on Dene practice to be considered. Hurdles ahead, but still. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Congratulations, @wolfieprof.bsky.social! It's a terrific book and well-deserved recognition! #envhist

The 'atlantification' of the Arctic, reported earlier around Svalbard, extends east to Yakutia, according to Russian scientists in this report. It also notes European scientists haven't had access to Russian data for three years. www.thebarentsobserver.com/climate-cris...

Still true among fishers. I've seen bird books on tuna boats and other West Coast boats that go offshore.

no danger except cardiac. heart still racing. next time this goes off next to my ear I may drop dead.

What's with this? I thought diligent beavers finished the job. Or is this a taster menu?
