Brent ToderianIf you’re trying to “solve” traffic congestion, road widenings are very expensive exercises in futility - unless your ACTUAL intention is more people driving more often and longer in the same or worse congestion, and a lot more suburban sprawl.

COVID-19: How good is a Novavax booster and with previous mRNA doses? This long thread explores what kind of immune response a Novavax booster is giving people as a primary series and after 2 or 3 mRNA doses in recent studies, and what some of the benefits seem to be. 🧵1/
Steven (but a Goblin) 💚BC cops spent a year enacting incredible violence on British Columbians.
People were brave enough to report 735 incidents.
Police Complaints Commissioner seemingly takes no meaningful action against anybody.
If anybody tells you there's a process to hold cops accountable, they're lying to you.
Greater Victoria police officers disciplined for using Taser as party trick, losing badge

There should be no place in society for those toxic ideologies that justify harming others' health.
Sars2 is a biohazard incompatible with human life, and we should act accordingly.

“Seven of the biggest emitters of GHGs – the United States, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, France and Australia – collectively spent at least twice as much on border and immigration enforcement (more than $33.1 billion) as on climate finance ($14.4 billion) between 2013 and 2018,” according to the report.

Global Climate Wall | Transnational Institute
This report finds that the world’s biggest emitters of green house gases are spending, on average, 2.3 times as much on arming their borders as they are on climate finance. This figure is as high as 15 times as much for the worst offenders. This “Global Climate Wall” aims to seal off powerful countries from migrants, rather than addressing the causes of displacement.

@sarahfrumento I put my name on the wait list for Post. I knew it was started by the former Waze CEO but I have never used Waze I hadn’t thought of the implications of that app. Noam is no longer part of Waze but you bring up a good point
