“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. Oslo & Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” #VisionZero #SpeedKills #Oslo #Helsinki

This seems like a pretty risky bet to me. Maybe buy some bitcoin instead?

Yeah, this sounds like it’s going to end well.

Put Levon on Drums and Robbie on rhythm guitar and this is an instant classic.

The Toronto International Festival of Authors recently hosted Colum McCann for a snowy night of talks. Some thoughtst! penguinstorm.com/2025/02/14/t...

Safe cycling infrastructure is so important to change the world www.harvardmagazine.com/2025/03/harv...

Even if you believe the bullshit line about this being joke in poor taste, this is not a person fit for public office www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Meredith Moon is banjoing it up at The Cameron House right now. Why aren’t you here?
