Electric dirtbike ≠e-bike. Two different things!

I don't think there's a world in which I complete this, and that's fine by me. These challenges may work for some folks, but it's really done little more than burn me out on the genre, which I tend to watch more at this time of year anyway. Plus, *in my best Rosa Diaz voice* who's got the time?

White: why do we have traffic lights that tell drivers to turn and pedestrians to walk at the same time Traffic authority: that's just the way we've always done it.

What a shocking concept... Cars are generally also anti-community. They put you in a bubble & your state of mind is one where where you compete w/ others to get where you're going as quickly as possible. This leads to poor decisions: running reds, blocking AT pathways & sidewalks, and far worse.

Me: I think micro mobility is the future of cities, allowing more minimal roadways to better serve transit, emergency services, and those who genuinely require single occupancy vehicles. Also me: Monster trucks? You have my attention… I genuinely think it’s the physics nerd itch being scratched 🤔

I generally really like the way the threading feature works in BlueSky. However, there's a beta feature you can turn on that makes it even better: baked-in thread counters. I turned it on in August and it's still really great Settings → Beta Features

Some drivers are *really* mad that you’re going past them in the same direction on a bike. Cars are a helluva drug.

As a result of this thread, I discovered that PTH are touring in support of their new album. Tickets acquired for early November. Will I survive a night at the Marquee as a newly minted 43 year-old? Stay tuned!

I've seen so much live music and enjoyed so much art during my life, and so much of it has been in all-ages clubs, bars-as-venues, nightclubs, and generally smaller-than-stadium venues. Since I've always lived in Canada, that means much of the acts I've seen have also been Canadian. Here goes.

We should talk more about how Europeans moved around the world over the past millennia anytime we talk about their current “anti migrant” feelings. 🙄

I was burning out on this challenge. It was becoming difficult to find entries that I didn't just want to turn off partway through. Damaging genre tropes, really poor writing or acting, lack of original ideas or interesting takes on classic ideas. Movies like Oculus are why I keep coming back.

What’s it like inside your head?

Monkey Robot
Alt: A reddish brown robotic monkey appears to malfunction, slowly lowering its head in a series of staccato-like movements, while its eyes scan back and forth as if it is reading some off-screen sign. The expression implies that the monkey is confused or perturbed by what it is reading. The camera angle shifts part way through to a tighter crop of the face.

It stopped raining long enough to sit out and watch the sunset, take some photos, and read for a while. Now the fairy lights twinkle, and distant storm clouds inch along the pale blue horizon. Where’s Ezra Pound when you need him…

One of the Dee Dee’s owners rolled up on this cute bike with two long packages of cones sticking out of the basket. In case you need another reason to eat Dee Dee’s ice cream.
An ice cream store front with a super cute multicolour awning that looks like dripping ice cream and a sign that says Dee Dee’s scoop shop. A pretty bike is leaning up against the brick wall next to the shop. The inside of the shop looks cozy with lots of patrons. A cute man with a misleadingly stern look is sitting on a bench in front of the shop eating ice cream.

I'm going to spend the next two nights in a canvas tent on the Bay of Fundy. The weather will be conducive to it being a cozy rather than adventurous weekend. What book should I read? I speculative fiction generally. Not really a high fantasy reader, though. #booksky

Anyone in #halisky know where I'd be able to find a decent pocket radio (peninsula or Dartmouth, ideally)? Home Hardware in Sackville seems the best bet, but I won't get there before Friday. AM/FM is all I'm looking for. Bonus points for a headphone jack but it's not a requirement.

When contemplating contributions to open source software, always perform a comprehensive search of open issues and pull requests. The feature I had planned to implement has been an open issue since May of 2023, with PRs that solve it written in April (partial) and July of this year (full).

Biked home along Ochterloney late-ish a few nights ago. It was a still, warm night. Humid, but not sticky. The scent of the European Linden trees that line many of our city's streets overtook the air. Honey sweet and citrus bright. #bikehfx #summernights #nostalgia #wistful

One dividing detail about vampire stories: Is the world one where vampire mythology exists and is well-known, or do people have no clue what's going on until it's way, *way* too late? This is the former, and it's an asset for sure.

Yes, I got these 3 councillors to pose for a pic at #KidicalMassHfx, but this was hardly a photo op. @lecwhite.bsky.social marshalled, as she has many times before. @shawncleary.bsky.social piloted a tandem bike to help Councillor Hinch participate. All 3 stayed & chatted long after the ride. 1/2

In the midst of a heatwave, it's starting early this year. A is switching daycares at the end of this month. It'll mean less time in transit for everyone, and fewer travel costs. Alternately, it's a reminder that she'll be starting school before we know it.

A lot of the footage in this video is graphic and disturbing, but also not rare. People are killed and seriously injured on our roads every day, and it’s not bikes and e-bikes that are involved in virtually every one of those incidents, it’s motor vehicles.
