Oh The Urbanity!
@ohtheurbanity
I love coming across urban improvements in Montreal that I’ve never seen before. This road beside a school (not far from a highway) was closed to cars to create a pedestrian space. It’s a weekend so no school but I did see a family playing.

True, they can be a barrier. I didn’t mean to suggest no one is discouraged, just that you can still have plenty of cycling.

Two lines of the Lyon Metro are automated. Line D (here) was built for automation in the 90s, and Line B was retrofitted in 2022 (being originally built in the 70s). Wouldn’t it be cool automate the Montreal Metro?
The middle is not missing in Quebec. Courtyard apartments in the suburbs of Montreal.
Food delivery riders are drastically more common in the bike lanes of Toronto than Montreal. I don’t really know why. What city do you live in, and is food delivery a major user of bike lanes there?
The strangest part is that the street seems to still have room for an entire row of parking on this side! No need to cut from the sidewalk. This parking is prohibited. I guess it’s not quite wide enough to meet the standards? But there are dozens of cars parked like this and no trouble passing.
"Clamp them all" The US government have refused to pay the congestion charge for over twenty years @GreenJennyJones Londoners have to pay this, other embassies do, so why not #Trump ? Time for action.
Living with Parkinson's is a profound challenge, difficult to articulate even for those who understand. But remarkable progress, like Justin Putman's ability to move freely after DBS treatment, offers immense hope.

I first heard "Streets of Minneapolis" at a protest on Nicollet Avenue on the day the song came out, blaring from a car with its windows down (despite the frigid cold) to play it for all of us. It was equally chilling to hear Springsteen sing it at MSG last night. (1/2)

Everyone sees this increase in control and is concerned, fascist take this anger and directed towards racial ethnic, or other majoritarian anger. We must ensure that the majority that is represented, is the working class not the white Christian men.
If you hate Israel or Jewish people please do me a huge favor and fuck off. That also includes all you idiots who think we are bombing the shit out of Iran just because Israel said so. I really don’t care how many of you unfollow me. I am tired of hearing this nonsense. Sincerely fuck off.

Dept of Veterans Affairs says it appears from satellite imagery that there’s “further damage” to war graves at the Gaza War Cemetery in addition to ones already bulldozed by Israel, but can’t advise if or how many damaged are Aus Graves coz we’re not allowed in. Shocking. #auspol
Republicans like to say we don’t need to fully fund programs that help pregnant moms stay fed because enrollment dropped last year. NEWSFLASH!!! Enrollment dropped because they shut down the government & starved the program for TWO MONTHS! They should really do their homework.
One day she's going to hit whatever this thing is she keeps going for and I'm dying to find out what it is. Will she drop somebody onto their head? Yeet them out of the ring caber toss style?
“It looks like the enrollment drop could be closer to 5 million.” Somewhere right now a MAGA Republican is explaining why 5 million Americans losing their healthcare is fine, actually.

It’s time to stop denying that this is still happening. There’s no ceasefire. There’s no peace in Gaza. Netanyahu enjoys this power. Wake up America it won’t be so acceptable when it happens here or when we do this to the so called drug countries. Just because we can.
