Tell me what the user case for the wankpanzer is again? Other than ā€œI am a fraud and my only hope is that my vehicle slices through anyone who might figure me out.ā€

Ontario, WHAT IN THE BLAZES!?!? My school run would be illegal in my home province!?!? Please get rid of these @fordnation.bsky.social @ontariopc.bsky.social clowns this month. www.thestar.com/news/gta/dro...

#bikeyyj - who is supposed to clear the E&N? Is it the CRD or the municipality, in this case @esquimaltbc.bsky.social ?

RIP to a legend and a hero.

Thatā€™ll be built through Northern Ontario really quickly, Iā€™m sureā€¦ šŸ¤”šŸ™„ Maybe this is the push needed to electrify more vehicles in eastern Canada (recognizing QuĆ©bec is doing well in this). And perhaps move forward with more modal shift out of private vehicles. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The most important thing to do, when you hear anything coming out of the White House, is to not believe it.

How do autocrats stay in power? Our new research dives into the strategies of political controlā€”repression, co-optation, and indoctrinationā€”used across 229 autocracies from 1946 to 2010. What we found will change the way you think about authoritarian resilience. šŸ§µšŸ‘‡

Ford didnā€™t have a ā€œmandateā€ to announce his US booze ban, so why is he saying the election is to give him one? His translucent excuse offers us a way to look back on his six years of doing dubious things without a ā€œmandateā€. My @thestar.com column.

Seems like a good day to share this.

What?! JT called me out at the concert in Portland! I think he had a good time on the #BikeBus.

2024 @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social #climate data out today: šŸ“ˆ 2024 - first year more than 1.5Ā°C above pre-industrial; for ERA5 it was 1.6ĀŗC šŸŒ”ļøĀ the past 10 years were the 10 warmest years on record šŸ“ˆ 2024 was warmest year for all continental regions, except Antarctica and Australasia šŸŒšŸŒ”ļøšŸ§Ŗāš’ļøšŸŒŠ

This feels like it belongs in the "dystopian late-stage capitalism horrors repacked as heartwarming stories" category. Schools were using disposable trays in 2024? And it's a success that one school switched out? We used reusable trays in my high school in the 90s. wapo.st/3WcCVwX

Hey #yyjpoli, if youā€™ve got a sign supporting the Crystal Pool referendum, be on the lookout. An older man with short hair driving a grey SUV, probably a Volvo, just stole our sign.

I really hope something happens this year to make sure we donā€™t end up with PM Skippy.
