Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Thanks to the Illinois’ massive investment in transit, Chicago has a bright transit future, with the dawn coming next year:
—50% increase in every-10-min bus routes to 30 citywide
—8-minute midday headways on rail lines
—24-hour Orange Line service (Red & Blue already have it)
—50% increase in every-10-min bus routes to 30 citywide
—8-minute midday headways on rail lines
—24-hour Orange Line service (Red & Blue already have it)
Acting CTA President Nora Leerhsen’s ambitious plan would also expand — from 20 to 30 routes — the so-called “Frequent Bus Network” that provides service “every ten minutes or better” between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.

Street parking on major arteries is the most insane thing about Toronto traffic.
Imagine how much better it would be for all road users if we abandoned the insistence that our arterial roads also be (weirdly cheap!) parking lots

'In this context of screen omnipresence, to measure the amount of time you spend looking at a screen is simply to ask how much time you spend awake and cogent, for almost everything you do now requires a screen to do it.'
The fight to limit “screen time” cannot be won, @ibogost.com argues. To recognize that fact—and to understand how it happened—is a small, important step toward salvation:
‘Screen Time’ Does Not Exist
The first step to recovery is acceptance of this fact.
