I've heard thousands of climate denial arguments over the last few decades. But do you know they all fall into one of 5 categories? 1. It's not real 2. It's not us 3. It's not bad 4. We can't fix it 5. You can't trust the info/experts Source: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In case you would sometimes like to listen to music while still hearing what's around you (sometimes too well), my Pixel Buds have a great transparency mode! Good for longer rides in the forest.

Absolutely unhinged stuff. Hard to know where to start with this. Leaving Twitter seems to have been the right choice.

Same here! In Helsinki it's changed a lot in the past couple of years - you see so many more cargo bikes here, and I'd say it must be closer to 60/40 in favour of women these days.

Absolutely. Clear responsibilities rather than the mish-mash we have now

At the same time: increased powers and legal status for cities! Let them actually do things the people want instead of being punching bags for the provincial governments

Enjoy the time off! Thanks for all the great work

Kun eurooppalaiset johtajat eivät uskalla tuomita Trumpin laittomuuksia tai selkeästi puolustaa edes omia arvojaan, siirtyy raja aina vain kauemmaksi. On kyettävä sanomaan, että se mitä Trump nyt tekee on täysin tuomittavaa ja ettei kukaan voi tällaista tukea.

Also personal problems! A bike for every season. 83% of trips in Halifax are made by car. In Helsinki, it's 18%. Most people don't need to know the price of gas. As a city we don't seem to have many big problems.

In all the coverage of Trump’s tirades about Europeans it should be noted that they are dealing with a much longer, harder, bigger and more consequential war in their own backyard, in Ukraine – a war that they didn’t choose, and one that Trump’s war on Iran has made worse by enriching Russia.

I have been thinking about this ever since reading the book. I wonder when we will see things like that start to happen.

Ernie is finally one of those "big bats at the top of the order" that he talked about last year!

Absolutely. We were playing McDavid - Celebrini - MacKinnon - Makar - Toews at 5-on-5. Holding up against that is an amazing feat.

Finland played really well. What a performance. On to the bronze!

This sounds more like a "police-involved collision" than a ramming to me.

Matthew Wood @thewoods.fi · 12/02/2026

Was just having the same thought. I'll just walk to the office later, since I can't count on anything but Baana being clear. Maybe not even that.

It's amazing! I've never experienced this before with any other team. I just hope they manage to hold on to that fantastic energy in the clubhouse.

Focusing on the good news: the Jays are looking so, so good. What an infield! Haven't been so excited for the new season since I was a little kid.

Matthew Wood @thewoods.fi · 09/12/2025

That's pretty good! Tough to find someone in Canadian politics who seems to be enjoying the experience

I love this idea, but who could possibly be joyful enough to be Ernie Clement?

A reminder that after 200 bear attacks in seven months, you still check for cars first and second. The guy texting behind the wheel is still more likely to kill you than the 🐻.

A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.

Agreed. And don't take my uncertainty as disagreement or any kind of expertise - when I say I'm not sure, I really mean it. I'm naturally an optimist who believes things are getting better, so the last few years have been tough.

Matthew Wood @thewoods.fi · 21/09/2025

I'm not sure I fully agree, but there is more truth here than I would like. Social media alone have done a lot of damage.

I would like to see inside the pie! Looks amazing

For me, Dartmouth is: inside the Circ, on the east side of the harbour. Outside that you get Westphal, Port Wallace, Woodlawn, Woodside, etc. It's not perfect, but it works!

Is the regular Mayor busy?

Matthew Wood @thewoods.fi · 10/09/2025

And about 50 stories per year in local newspapers interviewing city centre Range Rover drivers about how losing 3 street parking spaces will be the final nail in the coffin for the city.

This is exactly what I have been thinking about since I first saw this article. How is it ever okay to push children into poverty? How do you justify that while cutting taxes for the wealthy?

Matthew Wood @thewoods.fi · 15/08/2025

The first half is definitely correct; the second assumes a sophistication that, in my experience, is lacking.

Halifax's dipshit mayor doing his absolute best to drag Halifax back to the 1950s (from the 1990s).

Beautiful! Makes the ride much nicer when you don't have to worry about it falling down the whole time.

Can confirm that it is extremely stable. I leave my bike unattended on the train and it's solid as a rock.
