This is also a reason to keep investing in the core of the city instead of dribbling projects around the city because "my district hasn't seen a shiny thing." Investment in the core pays the city back.
Even better: The Continuous Sidewalk.
Instead of forcing people to step down into the street, we make the cars step up into the pedestrian space. It prioritizes the person walking or rolling, keeps the path level for accessibility, and physically forces drivers to slow down.
So apparently, I wasn't being hyperbolic when I said "Charge everyone working for the Department of Homeland Security with what would stick".
Abolish the entire fetid department.
Indeed.
Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."
Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.
See, the perfect analogy
Isn't it more like how the rest of the Netherlands got pissed off at people referring to the whole country as Holland when Holland is only a small (but important) portion of the country?
For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.
View from the front of a cargo bike riding on a new two-way protected bikeway. Ahead, three children, all wearing helmets, ride bikes — one in a yellow sweatshirt, one in black, and one in a patterned dress. A pedestrian walks on the sidewalk to the left. Apartment buildings line one side of the street, and parked cars line the other. Trees and bright morning sunlight frame the neighborhood scene.
People act like getting kids places without a car is Herculean. I biked three (one not mine) to the Kingfield Farmers Market, 95% on bikeways. No car seats, no stress, just laughs. The challenge isn’t moving kids, it’s redesigning cities to work for people instead of cars. #StreetsForPeople
#LdnOn this is for you:
Release the Epstein files NOW
About Duterte, she basically said America is going the same direction as the Philippines under him who had a ruthless “war on drugs” using extrajudicial killings of over 6,000, just to name one atrocity. He’s now in The Hague for crimes against humanity. (I’m going down the Philippines rabbit hole.)
A new study finds that switching to Daylight Saving Time and back every year increases the risk of strokes and obesity, and suggests we should stay on Standard Time all year. But I think the distribution of strokes and obesity in each time zone tells another story.
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
I just want us to live up to the slogan: Exciting (not so much); Exceptional (not at all); Connected (oh my goodness, nothing is connected: not bike lanes, not people, not direction).

Today! #LdnOnt
Teens shouldn’t need a tech company and a 2-ton machine just to move through their own city. The way we build our streets should give them the freedom to "ride solo" under their own power.
Close encounter on my bike ride today on the TVP! #ldnont #tvp
Pete Buttigieg says we should never stop talking about Epsteinq
During the election campaign, Mark Carney pledged to increase the CBC’s budget by $150 million dollars a year.
Now that he’s in government, he’s telling the public broadcaster to find up to $198 million in annual cuts. He can’t claim to defend the country when he’s gutting its media and culture.
My apologies for posting this too late since there's only one day to go, but if you're heading to SunFest, take note of this great resource: sunfestlive.com
As described in the linked article, the loss of safe cycling networks affects both children (loss of independence and exercise) and adults (lower neighbourhood cohesion).
Rescinding the DST isn’t strategy-it’s surrender.
This costs Canadians billions. The wealthiest people on Earth won’t pay what they owe.
What do we get in return? Nothing. This is another tactic to destroy our economy & instead of fighting back, we’re rolling over.

Hey #LdnONT, it's hot outside. City of London cooling centres are open during regular operating hours: london.ca/cooling-cent...
Please share if you're able - and keep an eye out for each other.
I'm reporting you as a bot since this is so clearly not a position a real person would take
