When I was in sixth grade, we were literally taught in school that fossil fuel scarcity was a big threat to civilization as we knew it. Not climate change, not pollution, but these companies running out of oil to drill. Just a thought about how much corporations shape our sense of what threatens us.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

@swanboatsteve.bsky.social It seems like they are preparing to pave the bus bays at Pape Station. Is there a plan to return the 72 Pape to station platforms soon?

The hating on quick-build bike lane networks by pro-bike academics and advocates is silly rage bait, so I hope they don’t discourage you. Absolutely support premium infrastructure, but establish networks now that get people riding now. open.substack.com/pub/speakeas...

In 1956, when Elvis Presley got a polio vaccination on national TV, it sparked a public health shift. Teen immunization rates jumped from 0.6% to 80% in just six months.

Wait, it’s already getting dark?! Daylight Saving is B.S. First instituted in 1908 in a Canadian town: Port Arthur, Ontario. One of the main ideas was to save coal during WW1. Canada started it…I propose we end it. The sun goes down too late in summer, and waaaay too early in fall and winter.

The disturbing part of all this is the length of time it's been clear Metrolinx had no intention of building their full claimed plan especially electrification, but would never formally say so. All hype. Little progress.

The removal of screen doors from the Bloor Yonge Expansion is so typically small minded and sadly part of a pattern with the TTC / City of cutting critical elements from projects despite having loads of capital dollars and constantly complaining about operating dollars.

Guess losing $150 billion got under the old boy's skin. No surprise, he's responding by throwing around tired old conspiracy theories meant to intimidate and discredit us. Guess we better make #teslatakedown so big no one can hear him over our noise! And lol he's signing his tweets now?

Screenshot of the Nazi in Chief's unhinged pinned tweet that reads.

An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla “protests”: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.

ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix.

ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel.

If you know anything about this, please post in replies. Thanks, Elon.

On this day in 1981, New Order released their debut single “Ceremony” The song and B-side were written & recorded as Joy Division prior to the death of Ian Curtis. Both were re-recorded & carried over to Joy Division's re-formation under the name New Order. The rest is history.
