The Polar Bear Marathon in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, certainly lived up to its name this year. (Photos from a friend’s dad who was there setting up the course.)

“You're not alone in wanting a better world, one in which cars are relegated to their proper use. Cars are tools that can be useful at certain times and places. They’re not gods. They’re not the foundation of our society. They should serve us. We should not serve them. There can be life after cars.”

I remember watching the Jays win in 1993 in the University of King’s College bar in Halifax, NS, and there was no stress.

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

Canadian Jean-Marc Doiron ran yesterday’s Toronto Waterfront Marathon while juggling every step of the way, with only one drop, in 3:01:57. He was on pace to break the joggling marathon Guinness World Record of 2:50:12 through the half in 1:23 but faded with muscle cramps. Amazing effort.

Hands-free cellphone calls while driving are just as dangerous and should be banned from auto tech.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I wish "antifa" had not gained such widespread usage. If we just said "anti-fascist," then it would be immediately clear to anyone what the opposite of that is.

I wrote a book ab this. It isn't evenly distributed. It happened gradually over a decade. Recommendation engines helped. But mostly it's the product of a propaganda campaign that made being anti-vax an article of *right wing identity*.

Small towns have most of the amenities of daily life. For people who live and work in the same town, the only trips outside the town are occasional things like shopping in the big city or seeing a specialist in another town, things a car share would excel at. Most trips are bikeable!
People say cycling only works in big, dense cities, but here’s the travel time across a small town of 8,000 people. Cycling is totally practical.
Towns should support cycling as a fun, cheap, healthy, family-friendly alternative to driving that improves rather than degrades safety and public space.
