Remember this, and every other awful thing Google has done, every single time you search for something on the internet.

I wrote about stroads in yesterday's @winnipegfreepress.co, particularly about how they impact my community of South Osborne. 🚗 🚗🚶🏼‍♀️ 🚲 🚗 🚗 Is Osborne a street or a road? ‘Stroad’ status fails everyone – Winnipeg Free Press share.google/v1ULvKbqHaDY...

Bookmarking this for my “anti-bike attitudes are fascism in the same ways that anti-trans and anti-immigrant politics are” mood board. People who bike are just another group of people to hate, and they need hate to grow.

The U.S. is right to ask Europeans to take primary responsibility for their conventional defense, EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius told us. “The status quo is over, we need to understand our responsibilities and do our jobs,” he stressed. #POLITICOEuropeanResilience

Bike infrastructure can strengthen bonds between kids and caregivers, foster curiosity about the world and connect families to their neighborhoods. Everyday moments that won't show up in traffic models but are just as valuable—helping children develop, relationships flourish and communities thrive.

Can someone do this for online activity around Alberta separatism?

"In this vulnerable and powerful production from Theatre by the River the actors meet the excellence of Marcus’s twisty script" Great review of Sap from the @winnipegfreepress.com! www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

Bless Macklemore for standing up for Palestine. Ed Sheeran is a fake-ass b.

The myth Alberta 'subsidizes' the rest of Canada is the most powerful meme in the separatist armoury. But it's utterly false. I show that most Albertans get more back from federal programs than they personally pay in federal taxes, for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026... #abpoli /2

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?

Folks! Sap, a show I've been working on, opens tomorrow. You should come! CTV calls it "a dark new thriller about obsession, deception and a dangerous secret." TheatrebytheRiver.com

The last time I looked (and it was a while ago), the US content in a Bombardier jet was higher than the US content in a Gulfstream jet. (In both cases, the planes are predominantly US content.)

This guy is just living in a 1980s popcorn movie where he consistently casts himself as the clueless villain.

Thanks Dave!

In the new episode, @davidzipper.bsky.social noted that the US is so uniquely bad at road safety that the OECD now calculates global crash trends without including US data. That prevents America's struggles from overshadowing other countries' progress.

Why would Canada not be particularly keen on American food products? It's a mystery.

I have recalled the groceries that are in your pantry and which you were probably planning to eat forgive me they’re full of salmonella and maybe broken glass

Urbanist Philomena Cunk. To keep cyclists safe, the council will sometimes paint a thin stripe of green paint on the edge of the road. This is very thoughtful, because it gives delivery drivers a brightly colored VIP parking space to wait in while they drop off a parcel.

For years, London's children’s lungs lagged behind. Now they’re catching up. A major new study shows the ULEZ cut exposure to toxic NO₂ and reduced impaired lung function from 14% to 9%.

No one ever said there was a constitutional right to bike lanes – just a right to fundamental justice. Ford government’s decision to remove Toronto bike lanes should be subject to Charter scrutiny, by @acoyne.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

Part of what makes the smear “radical bike lobby” so comical is that there really isn’t some deep-pocketed lobby behind bike lane advocacy. The industry has totally abdicated any role in promoting infrastructure for bike riding, unlike the auto industry.

Fort Collins, Colorado’s main street inspired Walt Disney’s Main Street, U.S.A. Now the city that inspired “The Happiest Place on Earth” has been named one of the happiest cities on Earth. It’s also a Rocky Mountain boomtown, with its population doubling since 1990 to 170,000.

So the answer to "how did the super spooky all powerful AI go rogue" is that they just let it rip and then went home for the day In a normal world, this would be a story about OpenAI's culture of negligence and half-assery, not how we should all bow down to the AI overlords

Building more housing will get cars off the road, but where they’re built matters. From @renzaro.com at @usa.streetsblog.org: usa.streetsblog.org/2026/08/06/r...

The way a neighbourhood looks could influence how well people sleep, new research suggests, adding to growing evidence that urban design can affect public health.

10,000 fewer on-street car parking spaces. That's the pledge from Amsterdam's new coalition government over the next four years. While many cities still argue whether change is possible, Amsterdam is reclaiming its public realm one tree, bench, bike rack, terrace, playground, and garden at a time.

“Everyone thought it would create gridlock.” It didn’t. “It’s difficult to imagine that just over 20 years ago, this was an elevated highway carrying 168k cars daily through South Korea’s capital.” Now it’s a world famous people-place. They’ve since removed 16 more elevated highways in the city.

A rational, credible audience wouldn’t have been “awkwardly silent.” A rational, credible audience would have booed, and walked out. Staying silent as Trump attacks female reporters has been one of the biggest failures of a consistently failing American media.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social
