@ytc1 @jtwcornell91 @nickzoic @pete pedestrians can do what they like on a shared use path, one of many reasons why segregated infra is important (see LTN 1/20 and its predecessors)
So #BikeTooter seems very excited by this noise-cancelling headphone negating bell, but I don't get it. Pedestrians have priority. End of. They don't need to hear you. Many can't hear you even if they wanted to. Thinking that dinging a bell comes with an expectation of a clear run is no different to drivers honking a horn and expecting cyclists to get out the road. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When you see your media telling you that Canadians aren't going to the United states because of tariffs, I implore you to understand that the tariffs are the least of the reasons why.

First and foremost is the threat of military conquest.

Second, is the kidnapping of Canadians by ICE, being held for months without charge.

Third, the United States is fomenting sedition in the province of Alberta.

Fourth is the illegal trade war and tariffs.

There are certainly other reasons such as the American leadership is, or are, protecting pedos, and how the United States is threatening to annex Canada's neighbour, Greenland, and their invasion of Venezuela, and so on.

The tariffs are the smallest part and not even the whole story of that part.

April 6, 1968 - Bobby Hutton, the 17-year-old first member of the Black Panther Party was gunned down by officers of the Oakland Police Department. Police opened fire on a car of Black Panthers returning from a meeting. The Panthers escaped their vehicle and ran into a house. Police attacked the house with tear gas and gunfire. After the building was on fire, the Panthers tried to surrender. Hutton came out of the house with his hands in the air.

But a police officer shouted, "He's got a gun." This prompted further police gunfire that left Hutton dead and Panthers co-founder Eldridge Cleaver wounded. Police later admitted that Hutton was unarmed.

This map shows the cost of charging an EV at home across the U.S. Home-charging is significantly cheaper in all 50 states than fueling a car with gasoline.

The Corpus Christi Water Crisis Isn't Exceptional. It's Early.

When drought cycles outpace infrastructure planning, a water emergency is not a surprise—it’s a forecast.

Good morning Mastodon! Hope you’re all ok? Today I’m currently reading and hugely enjoying Love Lethal, Death Divine by Jelena Dunato for some great fantasy. What are you reading at the moment?
