I love seeing these videos, but also depressing to see how poorly my city compares. But @bikewinnipeg.bsky.social is working hard to get improvements made.
First snowfall of the winter, which means also the first snow plows of the winter. On bike paths, of course. Tomorrow's forecast is full of rain and all this snow will probably be gone very soon, but of course, we can't wait for that here in Oulu 🇫🇮 👌☃️🚲🚶❄️

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

It should be illegal to win the World Series on the road. We should be in “extra games” and go back and forth between Toronto and LA until someone wins at home.

A great thread!!
I was recently invited to present my thoughts on the role of universities in the #climate crisis
Several audience members asked that I share my slides, so I've decided to post them here too as an open resource
I'd love any feedback, & for you to share examples of projects & best practice.

Colonel Sanders behind home plate at the World Series game in Toronto.
It’s a fun fact that he lived in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga from 1965 until his death in 1980.
