One thing about people citing slower car travel times on Bloor West following the bike lane install is, well, that was kind of the point. Drivers were **averaging** nearly 20 km/h over the current speed limit at spots. Road revamp has brought speeds closer to limit. www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...

Two bar charts comparing average and 95th percentile vehicle speeds in km/h across five Toronto locations over three time periods (2021/23, 2024, 2025/26), with a posted speed limit of 40 km/h indicated by a dotted line.

I'm not much of a photographer and mostly take pictures of insects and plants for IDing. But I got a couple of nice bird pictures recently. A yellow rumped warbler and a white throated sparrow. Both are moving through Toronto on their way south. #birding #torontobirding #birdmigration

A grey and brown streaky little bird with a white throat, dark eye stripe and a bit of yellow between their eyes. They are standing on a branch among some foliage. Taken at Humber Bay park east.

In case you were curious how similar the Great Egret and Great Blue Heron are in size, these two lined up perfectly for comparison. Apparently it was a desirable fishing spot #birds 🌿

A large gray heron stands in shallow wetlands, looking down towards the water. A large white after stands behind it in almost the same pose they are very similar in size. The heron’s beak is bigger and chunkier.

The science shows regenerative grazing simply doesn't work And I get it, it's a captivating well funded story ($200M from McD's otw), and it's easier to convince many that small tweaks are all that's needed vs. actual systemic changes away from beef 🧵here's 8+ reasons why this won't make beef eco

Ontarians are facing an unprecedented foreign threat and increasing cost of living challenges. But by attacking protected bike lanes, Doug Ford wants to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to make it more expensive for more people to get around. Make it make sense!

I was listening to this again because I'm reading 'the insect crisis'. The joke about birders getting into insects and needing to ID them down to species for their list had me lol-ing. Always enjoy your episodes! Jason is a great guest.

I usually go birding in the morning but yesterday I couldn't so I went in the evening. I didn't get any bird pictures but I did take a picture of the moon looking pretty.
