Doug Ford isn’t trying to fix traffic. He’s pandering and distracting.

“While advocates look at dedicated bicycle lanes as encouraging more people to travel by bike — resulting in less traffic congestion, safer commutes for cyclists and reduced greenhouse gas emissions — some motorists blame them for causing more congestion. But research shows that dedicated bicycle lanes are not behind perceived traffic congestion and can have many benefits.”

Do bike lanes really cause more traffic congestion? Here's what the research says | CBC News

While many people, including Ontario's Premier Doug Ford, say that bike lanes increase traffic congestion, research from around the world shows that's not the case.

A 30 minute ride around Amsterdam with me and #TheDoodle. From Amsterdam-Oost to Leidseplein via De Pijp where the 1970s Stop de Kindermoord movement started.

Watch out for extensive use of cycle streets which I think are a mixed bag comfort-wise.

Hi all fellow cyclists out there. I have come over from the dark side. Would love to make my home here in a safe place where cyclists are accepted. I will subject you to my strange sense of humour and my cycle commuting videos.
4/ Doesn't look as tho any LBHF councillors challenged the draft decision to ban ebikes and escooters from the Thames riverside paths, so the decision proceeds.

LOL this is not how you deal with "data scraping," this is how you deal with a catastrophic loss of system capacity.

You limit data scraping by blocking things a human user couldn't do, like access a thousand posts a minute. This is aimed directly at reducing normal activity across the whole system.

According to an April 14 report by BBC’s Global Disinformation Team, “hundreds of Russian and Chinese state propaganda accounts are thriving on Twitter after Elon Musk wiped out the team that fought these networks.” BBC also reports that the mass termination of Twitter employees has left the social media company with only a “skeleton crew.” As a result, “Twitter does not have resources to swiftly detect, attribute and take down this foreign propaganda.”

Russia uses Twitter to attack democracy

Twitter is “moving very, very quickly in all the wrong directions,” allowing Russian disinformation to be disseminated unchecked.
