"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

Some drivers whine like toddlers at any hint of inconvenience, and media treats their whining with respect. Having to drive a couple of blocks out of one’s way is not hard. This does not constitute imprisonment.

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

This here is the entire crux of the issue. We had sensible regulations requiring years of testosterone suppression and hormone therapy to play in women's sports. This had not been a problem for nearly twenty years, including at the olympics. Then the right made it one by straight up lying about it.

Deciding to only mention extremists on one side is disgusting. Israel has killed tens of thousands of children. Isn't that fucking extreme? This isn't even bothsidesism, because Palestinian violence is still being singled out as worse, despite Israel's body count being so high we don't even know it.
“We remain committed to a just and lasting resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, based on a negotiated two-state solution in which Israeli and Palestinian people can live in peace, security and dignity.

“The fund will help strengthen the voices of moderates and marginalise the extremists, including Hamas.

“As we have learned from other entrenched conflicts around the world, peace cannot be achieved through political and security measures alone. It also requires sustained effort to rebuild trust, to strengthen cooperation, and to highlight the shared humanity of people.

Video shows family’s car slowing before Israeli troops shot dead Palestinian baby
Footage appears to contradict Israeli military’s account of killing of seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal in West Bank New footage appears to contradict the Israeli military’s account of the shooting that killed seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal in his mother’s arms, showing the family’s car slowing near a military post before soldiers opened fire. On Friday, the killing of the infant by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank sparked outrage after soldiers opened fire on the family’s vehicle despite it having complied with an order to stop. Sam was killed and his mother, Daniyah Abu Haikal, and father, Fahed Abu Haikal, were both injured. Continue reading...

In a June 4 letter to advocacy group Safe Parkside, staff from Councillor Gord Perks' office confirm that the safety redesign for Parkside Drive is stalled due to new provincial rules re: bike lanes. City spent years studying how to make the road safer, but dragged their feet and now, well, whoops.
City Transportation staff’s review of Ontario’s Bill 212 has concluded that the City’s ability to advance road safety improvements across the city of Toronto, including on Parkside Dr. has been fundamentally reduced. Bill 212 has stalled the planned safety redesign of Parkside Dr., which was intended to include bike lanes, by requiring municipalities to seek approval from the Ministry of Transportation.
 
However, the City of Toronto has implemented safety measures that are still within our authority eg. WYSP sign, permanent permit parking, installation of traffic control signals and reducing the legal speed limit.
 
Please continue to advocate to the Provincial government about the impacts of Bill 212. Please also continue to report reckless and speeding motorist behaviour to the Toronto Police for enforcement to deter this behaviour.

For an assignment, I spent 1.5 hours at a stop sign by U of T. Out of 228 vehicles, 208 did not stop. 59 when pedestrians were waiting or actively crossing. I saw 20/228 (9%) lawful interactions w/ that stop sign. If police showed any force to even one of those 208 drivers, there would be riots.
