Every transit user, bike rider & pedestrian makes life easier for drivers & rideshare takers, the main contributors to congestion.

What a tease!

It's a little weird under the circumstances, n'est-ce pas?

The looks on Team Canada's faces during the medal ceremony... heartbreaking.

Allow the dying empire a last flash.

Every bit of the Lululemon gear is hideous. Hard to imagine uglier, more depressing colour combos.

This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

This is very, very good, and worth your time to read.

You're not getting old. You just have a soul.

The Super Bowl halftime show is something I can't usually be bothered to watch, but I decided to check it out this year. So glad I did. What a spectacular expression of Latin American JOY.

Ahhh! That view.

Hoping this will be available to see in Canada at some point.

Canada is not safe from this either.
It started with elderly American voters waving β€œMASS DEPORTATION NOW” signs and spread like a cancer 😑

It's been a Cockburn day all round. A woman I know posted this in support of Minnesotans today. That the same man is responsible for both these incredible songs says a lot about the breadth of his talent. youtu.be/53JkTgdTKd0?...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

The truth appears so naked on my side
That any purblind eye may find it out.

This whole album is a treasure.

That is now 2 statements from Carney that have legitimized Trump's violent, extrajudicial overthrow & kidnapping of another country's leader.

Our prime minister looks more Neville Chamberlain than elbows up rn.

(He has also failed to speak directly to Canadians who might be feeling unsettled.)

β€œBe kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. β€œAt a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Be it thy course to busy giddy minds
With foreign quarrels, that action, hence borne out,
May waste the memory of the former days

My sister was in the hospital for 10 days with Flu A + pneumonia. Just got home yesterday. Brutal. I hope you're on the mend & that you have a smooth & speedy recovery.

Consider yourself lucky. I got MORIBUND.

It's so good. I read it once every 10 years or so.

Agreed. He just keeps getting better & better, doesn't he?

Just back from seeing a loved one in hospital. Despite being vaxxed, she caught the super flu that's been in the headlines. It turned into pneumonia. Be careful out there. Consider masking in crowded spaces & FFS stay home if you're unwell. This bug is SERIOUS.

How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
