Two Wheeled Gear is closing shop. Too bad! I have their convertible backpack/pannier and I love it.

hate to see the bc conservatives win, but also david eby got exactly what he deserved for taking such a cynical and opportunistic move when he had two years left on his majority government

Eby lost this election through multiple egregious mistakes, arrogance & lack of political skill. But we also need to see his catastrophic loss as proof of what happens when "progressives" swing to the right. Eby is not the first centrist to be taught this lesson. Can the NDP learn? #bcpoli

If a tech company told you their device was 8-12x more effective and 100x cheaper than competitors, you’d fund it instantly. That device exists. It’s called an existing forest. Fund forest protection like critical infrastructure.

There's something so bleak about Canadian Old Guy centrism: sorry if your kid needs a good schooling, there are deficits to think of, why are we splurging on nurses etc. The root of it is they have no interest in the future. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Langford. WTF.

Looking very very forward to the reopening of THE X-FILES and @johnniejae.bsky.social adds a few more reasons 👍🏼

I guess we’re at the FAFO stage of BC politics

Now THIS is a cargo bike 😎

If you want to live in a congested and irrelevant city 10 years from now—keep on building freeways to the suburbs. If you want to live in a prosperous and livable city 10 years from now—invest in the best transit you can today.

You mean like how you promised a grocery rebate cheque to subsidize grocery store revenue? Or how you never did anything with the gas station price fixing? Or how you are basically destroying TransLink and BC Transit to make sure everyone is having to burn more gas to drive everywhere?

We’re almost at the “Unauthorized Toast”’stage of enshittification á la @doctorow.pluralistic.net

I’m getting one for my cargo bike. 💀

Went to UVic GoByBike Week Celebration station. Took the two-way bike lane on Finnerty road. Saanich rescue at the scene of a crash: a driver turning into a parking lot right-hooked a cyclist. For the love of pete, drivers need to shoulder check! 😡 we also need better infrastructure in Saanich.

Gotta love a government that sees labour rights and environmental protections as barriers to overcome because sovereignty or something like that.

Hey listen to this overcast.fm/+ABTxbYgZZLA @thewaroncars.bsky.social episode on cycling safety and helmet use. It’s spot on, especially talking about fear-based reactions. Really gave food for thought. Thanks!

Regenerative grazing has gotten a lot of buzz — maybe thanks to big money from the beef industry? — but it’s NOT an effective climate solution. I wish it was. But it’s time to move on from greenwashing and focus on things that work.

This German comedy sketch (with English subtitles) perfectly captures so much of what is going on right now in the UK, the US, and across Europe. "Playing the 'Nazi Card' in the Third Reich", by Browser Ballett.

Haven’t found the sci fi portion of BlueSky yet but can we talk about Silo s3 finale and The Prisoner references? I’ve been hate-watching this season of Silo (ugh so much to loathe) and nearly gagged at the “W H Y ?” and the “Be seeing you.” It’s giving “get that name out of your filthy mouth.”

I love how ebikes spark the moral panic while I, on an ebike, am constantly getting my doors blown off by exercise bros trying to set a new personal best on our shared path system using nothing but their leg power.

We biked to Fibration fibre festival in Fernwood today with the wee bairns. I’m surprised there weren’t more bikes there, it seems the knitters and weavers among us still skew to the blue-haired set who don’t use bicycles for transportation?

You can bet the family farm that the children & grandchildren of Trump and all his sycophants are up to date and on schedule with all the recommended vaccinations.

Grocery shopping in my big-ass bike.

Why does no one ever mention going vegan Or at least drastically reducing consumption of animal products.

Prime Minister Carney's enthusiastic willingness to accept and fund oil and private profit is putting the Salish Sea in danger. Take action to protect endangered species today ⬇️ #biodiversity #fossilfuel www.wildernesscommittee.org/take-action/...

What is our government doing? This project defies common sense - this is corporate welfare on a surreal scale, giving a gift to an industry making $90 billion in excess profits this year, and which still refuses to pay for its own infrastructure.

How much more Canadian can you get? A Snowbird parked underneath the wing of a Martin Mars water bomber

Ted Lasso season 1 ep 3 (?) rewatch EPIPHANY: we find out that Keely is the GOAT. She waltzes into Rebecca’s office to thank her for killing the Ted photo, saying “It’s always the woman who bears the brunt of the bad press, amirite😉?” She knows/suspects it was Rebecca behind it! 🤯

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

@iwriteok.bsky.social Canadians have probably let you know this already but (re: Ian Smith episode 1 on BTB) we repatriated our constitution from Britain in 1982; we haven’t been a British dominion since then.

The wrong public figures keep dying. RIP Sam Neill. We wanted to visit Two Paddocks when we were in Otago several years ago but they had no cellar door, and besides it was Christmas break. We did see a Two Paddocks truck on the road and imagined it was Sam Neill going to feed Helena Bonham Carter ♥️

If our PM thinks fighting climate change is “expensive” and “divisive” then he ain’t seen nothing yet as we continue to do practically nothing about it.

Why are we not marching in the streets over this.

When in Scotland, you must get something you can’t get at home (yet) .. the UK edition of “Flick: The Story of Female Pleasure” by Dr Kate Lister.

I am a new fan of Yorkshire tea. I took the last bag from our London hotel room and (ironically) had to brew it when we got to York, where it was NOT provided in our hotel room(!) I bought a bag of loose tea at the Tesco in Inverness but I hope it’s available in Canada when we go back home.
