Happy World Bicycle Day to everyone who believes a better world is possible #yycbike

good morning tuesday morning

As wildfire season begins, re-sharing my piece on the pressing need to establish better indoor air quality standards and practices in Ontario schools. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-scho...

Am I the only one who finds it slightly galling that premiers are pitching major projects to an open-eared prime minister right now -- including pipelines -- as a province burns around them and people are forced to evacuate????? As a result of wildfires which are exacerbated by climate change???

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Hey @calgarypolice.bsky.social you should teach your cops to give cyclists 1 meter space when passing. Nearly got clipped on my way home.

Happy Critical Mass Friday to those who celebrate 🐴 #yycbike

I personally think this is what makes a city a "real city". Calgary isn't there yet, but it has potential. Just need some more silly stuff to happen in this town without people clutching their pearls.

Today’s ride will end with a dance party in Stanley Park! Bring your friends and a lot of water it’s gonna be hot 🥵 #yycbike

Did the coin trick for the first time biking to work in a dress. Worked great.

If I’m following the logic correctly here, “Elbow’s Up” refers to a rejection of American imperialism as well as a celebration of British imperialism?

Hey #yycbike The MAD MAX RIDE is returning and will be a part of the Stampede Parade this year! Registration info here. YOU MUST REGISTER BEFOREHAND. www.eventbrite.com/e/mad-max-ri... @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social @bikecalgary.bsky.social

this place is okay but i wish it had more annoying people and more evil people

In trying to compete with Amazon, Canada Post is in a "race to the bottom." As the Crown corporation gets squeezed out of the parcel business, its union is fighting hard to hold the line on working conditions.

I miss when star trek was dominating my life

"Not everyone can ride a bike!!" not everyone can or should drive a car. The consequences of not being able to drive are far more dire for many reasons. Also maybe people are less active because they sit in cars all day.

sort of feels like a lot of people will give up every right and privilege for the chance to ensure that their neighbours are miserable

my friend tripped on the curb literally 3 years ago and we still make fun of him for it anyway this was immediately sent to him

200 killed by Israel in a single day but the mainstream media is concentrating on two Nazis who were in full support of genocide getting killed. This is dehumanization at its worst.

oh no all that flag waving for nothing 🥴 woops

Immediate confidence vote in parliament.

Sharon's right. I looked at the LinkedIn page -- Exigent has paid for Jen Gerson, Dahlia Kurtz, Bryan Passifiume, Warren Kinsella, Adam Zivo and MORE to go to Israel. In an earlier post, its co-founder claims its trips led to op-eds by Brian Lilley and Terry Glavin, too. This is so fucked up!

Seeing the entirety of 2020 - 2025 summarized so well makes me feel less insane youtu.be/zXrjlOE9e50?...

our real life villains look so lame

rode home in this bad boy last night. got hella sloppy.

Unironically people will be like "well at least it's not the CHINESE AI doing misinformation !!!"

the future is so cool wow

engage.calgary.ca/14avenw #yycbike engagement for the North Hill Mall area is happening! I added my two cents and I'm curious what you all think!

Rümeysa's out. Badar's out. We keep going until everyone is free.

lmao wow no one has ever tried this before 👍

Lots of you don’t live in provinces where the bat-shit crazies get outsized attention and it shows. Oh, wait… you actually do. Stop assuming the AB separatists are anything but a loud but tiny fringe.

vote, leave polling station, walk into the woods, never come back

A man driving into a crowd, killing 9, during a cultural festival isn't terrorism because we expect that sometimes, drivers make oopsieses and murder people with their cars.

Cities aren’t loud, cars are loud #yycbike

Have a feeling Moby Dick will take me nearly as long to finish as Capital Vol 1

Feels good voting for my ol' reliable ML candidate because he has actual good politics.

Been playing City Skylines (1) all weekend. Making a city where huge swaths of neighbourhoods have banned cars. The people love it. Unfortunately still too many cars.

One more week and then Canadians are free of this cursed election

April Masses bring lots of asses (on bikes) #yycbike
