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.

Canada will only renormalize relations if there are steps taken to minimize the chances that this happens again.

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...

This is great. So much of missing middle focuses on architectural design. The missing middle iceberg is finance and construction means and methods.

My point is so very often we’re in the automobile mindset that options don’t really occur to us. Yes this works for me. There may be ways in which an alternative works for others. There are options and there would be more if people pushed for them.

I bike to work that’s normally a one hour commute with one leg on the subway. Fifteen minutes from my home to the subway station and thirty minutes through a suburban city to work. 45 minutes biking and thirty minutes on the subway. Lost 20 pounds in the first three month of doing this.

It seems to me that if there isn’t parking right in front of the store you want to get to the perception is that there is no parking. Similar to the Uber driver that needs to block traffic when they can just turn onto a side street half a block away because “there is no where to pull over.”

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.

It is so sad that - for the past 20 years- the ultimate occupational goal of the best and the brightest young people has not been to discover cures for disease or new forms of energy, but to optimize Americans’ shopping experience.

This seems to be designed to produce the most outrage and division. There is simply no reason to make a baseball game a venue for immigration raids other than stirring civil unrest.

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 reality is that governments need to build more social housing. Simply decommodifying housing isn’t going to incentivize the supply of new and affordable homes which is the actual goal here.
