As climate solutions reporter I find many 'solutions' don't scale- or reduce pollution at all. Which is why after months of reporting I want to tell you about Vienna. Vienna has found a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change, all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in. 🎧⬇️

This was absolutely amazing by the way! My daughter loved it. Afterwards she said "do you think cars have ever stopped for bikes before?" It was a taste of freedom she hadn't even imagined.

As a Canadian, seeing ICE running around with those kerchiefs on their face like they're the black bloc or something is totally insane. How do ya'll have police in masks disappearing people?

"When a small mannequin was pulled into the road to simulate a child crossing, the Model Y ignored both the stop signs and the “child.” A loud crunch echoed on impact, startling another reporter in the car, who let out an audible gasp." #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall www.nysun.com/article/tesl...

Deeply disappointing. Councillor @diannesaxe.bsky.social is caving to a handful of businesses and advocates who’ve run a campaign of dishonesty and intimidation. www.thestar.com/news/gta/cou...

The tent encampment / occupation / sit-in on the grounds behind Queen's Park went through the night. Indigenous people are protesting Bill 5, which tramples over Indigenous rights. About 10 tent up, a couple dozen people around the sacred fire (not pictured).

“Totally not ominous or anything,” scientists insist way too loudly, then do a forced-sounding laugh.

I often think of the insane public transit we could have if we shifted spending from private automobiles. This says annual cost of ownership in US is $12,500 per vehicle and the average cars per household is higher than 1. That's something like 2 TRILLION per year.

The fact that Canadian leaders continue to have "Let's build more pipelines" conversations while Saskatchewan and Manitoba are being decimated by wildfires is just wild to me

This will be worse for drivers than all the bike lanes put together. Where are the car-brained campaigns against return to office mandates? www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

"We're all going to die" doesn't seem like a great campaign slogan to me.

Ontario's Bill 17 throws cities under the bus in favour of big developers and fossil fuel giant Enbridge Gas. Sound familiar? We need to fight back against the constant attacks on communities. Tell Ford and his ministers to BACK OFF: safecities.earth/Bill17 #onpoli

OpenAI apparently thinks people will line up to buy spy cameras to spy on themselves and give their data to AI. Sounds stupid to me, but I also thought IPADs seemed useless and dumb.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

a number of people across the skyline seem to have taken this this as totally exculpatory & i think maybe it falls on the fact that not a lot of people realize that, by nature of living in america, it’s much more likely you’re already in the top 10-20% of global earners?🧵

Truly excellent episode of Future Mending about community building (@mattliepaehlke.bsky.social). Future Mending just delights me in every ep with looking at folks manifesting #solarpunk values IRL (& thanks for the shout out about the BGF anthology at the end!) www.buzzsprout.com/2396702/epis...
