NoahThe Mormon Church is being fined 5 million because it hid a 32 billion dollar investment fund. This was not accidental. The SEC proved that both the investment firm and church went to great lengths to knowingly hide these assets. For the folks playing along at home, that’s a fine of 0.016% on the investment.

Cameron MacLeod“In Toronto, we have actually given serious consideration to whether pedestrians crossing the road while looking at their phones should be fined, including if they are crossing legally. What that reveals is that some have accepted the city is the habitat of the car, and humans are merely vermin, a nuisance to be cleared from the path of its movement.”

I am currently on sabbatical leave in Mumbai, India. Last week, I went to an eye-opening lecture at IIT Bombay by Dr. Sunetro Ghosal, “Immoral Wilderness in Urban Spaces.” He raised provocative questions not just about where leopards should live, but what we understand a city to be and how we measure risk. I came […]
Yoko's Asterisk 🏳️⚧I only contributed to the New York Times once, but I was proud to sign this letter about the Times' anti-trans bias. And I'm so happy to see all the names there alongside mine.

Brent ToderianYou know who DOESN’T get to decide if the concept of “15-Minute Cities,” which supports MORE CHOICE, LESS CAR DEPENDENCY, and LOWER PUBLIC COSTS & CONSEQUENCES, is good public policy?
The same extreme alt-right conspiracy theorists and cynical political opportunists who brought us truck occupations in Canadian neighbourhoods, the January 6th Insurrection, & Brexit.
I won’t let their unhinged lies work. You shouldn’t either.
