ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?

If you are more outraged at Canadians booing your anthem than the fact that your mob boss is harassing and threatening a takeover of a sovereign country, whether by economic hardships or by force, then please go fuck yourself.

The City of Toronto should actually clear the snow. There are cities that even invest in removing the snow. But plows simply shoving it all back up onto the sidewalks isn’t good enough.

How it started How it’s going
5 years and 18,000 km later, and my eBullitt is still my favourite way to get around town. Looking forward to the next 5 years…

Of course it is!!!
In case anyone is wondering (because I was), YES - it is possible to take 10sqm of old carpet + underlay + grippers on a bike, 6 miles across London in Winter.
The team at Southwark Recycling Centre greeted me with pure Christmas spirit and joy! Merry Christmas!

No, @googlemaps.bsky.social the best route to get from St Clair and Mt Pleasant to Front and Church is NOT to go straight down Mt Pleasant and then deke through Rosedale to Sherbourne. It would be to never get on Mt Pleasant in the first place

Hey, people who ride bicycles in #Toronto! This is happening tonight, Nov. 29, at 6 PM. Meet at the High Park main gate. Route is TBA. Wear warm clothes, clip on your bike lights & bring signs or banners letting motorists know they can thank Doug Ford for the disruption.

The ridiculous ideas of Pierre Poilievre from the #CBC
"wants to restore the military" but voted against funding it.
Wants to cut spending, but won't say how, or where.
If anyone believes this guy can run our country -I've got some swamp land to sell you. Stop voting conservative or else suffer

If your city couldn’t avoid making a huge city-damaging mistake, then do the next best thing – remove the mistake, and repair your city. Like #Utrecht Netherlands did.

IMPORTANT: “Do bike lanes really cause more traffic congestion? Here's what the research says. Studies from around the world show bike lanes ease congestion, reduce emissions and are a boon to businesses.”
And removing them would cost a LOT & make traffic worse. #Toronto
