Remember back in the 90’s when they’d make action movies where the US President was basically a super hero? Yeah they haven’t made one of those movies in a while…I wonder why…

We need to move to a bigger house. It’s weird waiting for Boomers to die off so the large family homes get freed up for people with kids who need them because Boomers refuse to downsize. All the 4 & 5 bedroom family homes are occupied by 1 or 2 old people whose kids moved out decades ago.

Hey look at that! The number 41 at 12:24 at Billings didn’t come and the next one is apparently in half an hour. So 45 minutes between “frequent” buses that are supposed to be every 15 minutes? Make that make sense @octranspo.com @occtranspo.bsky.social @shawnmenard.bsky.social @timtierney.ca

So is it still a “frequent” bus if it has a half-hour gap in service in the middle of rush hour? This is the route 44 schedule from Hurdman. The 4:30 departure is the one we need to not have an 1.5 hour-long commute. @octranspo.com @shawnmenard.bsky.social @timtierney.ca @occtranspo.bsky.social

New fleet, who’s this? Our team of Field Operators are officially leading our first fully electric mobile fleet. No tailpipe emissions. No fuel costs. Just 100% electric power. To see the 'by the numbers' breakdown of this team's transition to EVs, check out our latest blog: bit.ly/4eS9JW5

@octranspo.com how is a bus (#41) running every half hour considered “frequent” by you people? You realize people need to get around the city when it’s not rush hour right? Why are “frequent” buses running so infrequently on evenings and weekends when people need to go do stuff?!

Rising gas prices got you down? EVs are cheaper to own, nicer to drive, and now cost the same as their equivalent gas vehicles. Time to dump the pump and go electric.

Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today. Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st. You're going to pay in for 298 more days. This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us. Scrap the cap.

@mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social the 7:14 44 to Hurdman (stop 1087 Walkley) did not come once again. When can we expect buses to actually run reliably and dependably? It’s rush hour and we can’t even use to bus to get to work on time! How is this acceptable?!

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Far beyond just saving riders money, free buses deliver a cascade of benefits, from easing traffic to promoting public safety,” Emily Galvin Almanza writes. “And it doesn’t have to be costly — in fact, it can come out just about even.”

Just a reminder to everyone that the English language already has a word for “underage woman” - it’s “girl”. The media needs to stop framing the Epstein shit as “underage women” and start using the correct term: “girl”. The old men sexually assaulted girls.

We all know Dementia Don is functionally illiterate and based on the war criminals he’s invited to his little club I now believe that it’s not in fact a “Board of Peace” but rather a collection of old men who are “Bored of Peace”. Given that Trump can’t spell the confusion is understandable.
