A great article on the rise of urban biking:

“Surveys show rates of cycling are higher in countries where cyclists feel safest. And there are few things that make riders safer than lanes that separate them from cars... allowing cities to reduce traffic and save money...”
By me this week - the happiest thing I've got to report of late, with a glorious trip over the summer to Montreal

I have no followers but here goes:

I never imagined I'd be doing this… but neither did I imagine I’d be living in a time of literal fascism.

Enough is enough.

Alors, je me present comme conseiller d'arrondissement dans de Lorimier. Et je suis fier de le faire avec Transition Montréal.

I teach a class called "Politics of the Internet," and one thing I end up talking about is internet adages. The list I cover:

Godwin's Law
Poe's Law
The Streisand Effect
Don't feed the trolls
The Rule of Goats

Any big ones I missed? Things along those lines I should add?
