I just want to go up to parents who take their kids to school on bikes and thank them for being awesome - but that would be creepy, and unnecessary. They already know they're awesome.🚴🚲

I bought oranges today imported from Morocco. Glad to have choices other than Florida.

In good news - my swept back handlebars arrived and have transformed my ebike into my best ride ever! It's alarmingly better.

I heard someone refer to Canada as the Scotland of North America and I all the bloody way love this! 😆 #canada #scotland

Grew up living next to the US border. It was always an eye opener to discover how little our next door neighbours knew about us or the world. Seems like nothing has changed.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

Relatedly, crash injuries in Wales have fallen ~28% since the 2023 adoption of 20 mph as an urban standard. Slower traffic --> Fewer crashes --> Lower insurance rates

Scott Moe has always given SK a bad name. Now he's trying to mess with the ROC. He is a spineless opportunist at best, a moron on most days. I doubt he's ever had an original thought.

Our right-wing grifters have been cosplaying as Americans for several years. It’s to the point where they have the ear of the US President. It seems to be biting us in the ass.

Not sure how taxing your own citizens through tariffs can generate wealth for the same.

Would eliminating tariffs on Chinese-made EV's be helpful?

Let’s be clear. The President literally got up and put an air traffic controller in the cross-hairs of MAGA, implying incompetency and DEI hire when an investigation hasn’t even begun. Then disparaged Biden, Obama & Buttigieg. All with zero proof. He’s void of morality.

This DC plane crash is entirely on the helo crew. VFR requires maintaining separation from reported (and in this case verified) traffic. NTSB will confirm this in about a year, by which time we'll all have moved on - except the families.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

Walmart expanding in Canada is not my definition of good news. It just means the demise of more local businesses and the siphoning of your money to an American corporate HQ.
