I calculated change in access to jobs by transit before and after Winnipeg's bus network redesign. 🚍
The median resident experienced an increase of 4% in access to jobs within 45 minutes, according to my analysis in R.
The redesigned network gets more people to more places within the same time.

The government of Canada needs to directly address why a 95 year old human rights expert and former UN Special Rapporteur was treated as a threat to national security for coming to speak about Israeli genocide.

Add human trafficking to the lengthy list of social ills that would be most meaningfully addressed by reducing poverty.
and now for your umpteenth reminder that the best way to fight human trafficking is to support measures that ease poverty and promote affordable housing, not to go hunting for hidden coded messages on the internet

As with congestion pricing in NYC, the sky didn't fall, and results are very popular.
Also noteworthy: revenue estimates were WAY off. In NYC, planners expected more traffic outside the congestion pricing zone, but that didn't happen.

Remarkable. Seems pretty clear that someone wanted to make an example of him.
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.
You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.
