Goodfellas. Never has a movie been as much thrilling and weirdly comforting as this. It is beautiful to look at and there’s are tons of background things happening it is endlessly rewatchable . A deeply NYC/US movie, I love searching for the deeper meanings and its relevancy to today.

It’s time for Canada to import Japanese zoning, Korean and Spanish transit construction practices, Dutch road design, and Swiss building codes.

We’re getting a horrific glimpse at the possible future. Widespread, cataclysmic climate change tragedies made worse by austerity and blamed on minorities by the Right, who will use their power to enable the wealth class as they continue to profit
It doesn’t have to be this way. We can change this.

If you think about past aesthetic movements - even ones that are mocked in retrospect - they were beloved for years if not decades.
The defining aesthetic of these years has been this one shitty AI style that stopped being cool about 30 seconds in, and everyone hates it now.

I know this makes me sound like an old fuddy duddy, but making my favorite animation list makes me realize just how much I miss hand drawn animation. The little imperfections, the warmth, the lines squiggling here and there. You could feel the humanity in every frame. Everything looks so clean now.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Voilà une intersection beaucoup plus sécuritaire pour les piétons (en vert)! Trottoir surélevé et rue plus étroite pour une meilleure visibilité et moins de temps de traverse. On en veut partout! #piétons #vélomtl #polmtl #polqc #saaq
On the bottom: a raised crosswalk with daylighting, where the intersection narrows for better visibility and shorter crossing distance.
On the top: a traditional crosswalk where the sidewalk essentially disappears into the road for crossing.

Just sunlight reflecting off a lake.
A lake of liquid methane.

I think a lot about David Byrne showing up to Met Gala last year on his bike.
We need to normalize doing this, and have secure bike parking everywhere.

There are a few neighbourhoods in HRM where this would be helpful.
Love this map! It shows the grades of the streets in order to help pedestrians and cyclists plan their routes (from Queenstown, New Zealand).

To start off on a happy note - here’s the new beautiful bidirectional bike lane that just went in on Barrington Street near downtown Halifax, NS. Absolutely loving riding this so far.
