I draw and get into fights.
I bought a new bike and I forgot how lovely it is. I got tired so I tossed it on an R5, I joined the bike rave and hung out at Crab Park. It's difficult and joyful! I love my ebike but what a nice return.

The greatest risk to world peace is a Republican president's popularity dipping too low.

Everything comes from and flows out of art. Whatever it is, that's always been true.

You shouldn't be able to trade options. That whole market is a wild perversion of commodity speculation which itself is a perversion of insurance. I also think Severance is okay but Maniac is better.

One of the many tragedies of Musk being the absolute worst person on the planet is that the NASA Space-X Crew Return 9 made ocean fall and a pod of dolphins came to welcome the returning astronauts and we heard nothing about that special moment.

Bike lanes, bus lanes, sidewalks. Business is the interaction between people and merchants. Cars limit interactions by design, isolating people from potential.
It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Bike-lanes mean business.

I think the city should buy The Bay and turn most of it into affordable apartments but at least one floor should remain a creepy liminal space for cultural enrichment.

Staff at my community center just wished me a "happy workout". Sir, I don't come here to be happy.

It's pretty cool to see how quickly every store in my neighborhood swapped out American products.

Something serious is happening at Rosser and Hastings. I'm hoping it's not another deadly crash.

This is a great breakdown of the Ontario bike lane legislation, what bike lanes do, and why being against them is nonsense. Ontarians deserve data-driven and not spite-driven decision-making.

The profit margin for private insurance is around 3% or so which says a lot about the incredible amount of waste that goes into profit for a very small number of people.

Knowing they can change the steam clock tune whenever they like is up there with being able to project whatever we want on city hall as far as local Pandora's boxes go.
nevermind it’s bad now

The right has been dismantling harm reduction for years because ultimately they want the people they hate to suffer. There is no moral underpinning, they are guided by only one thing: to cast their enemies as unclean and to purge them.

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally.

Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially.

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed
Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

Lady at a store I visit often said I'm "looking slim". I will never not be fascinated by high risk low reward statements like that.

Law and Order doesn't mean anything. Critical theory has always been about examining this, which is why it was an early target in the language wars.
