Last Notes npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 our current Mayor is correct on this. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 > Homeless advocate David Fineday says he's willing to get arrested if the Saskatoon Fire Department comes to clear an encampment in the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 the conservative government of Ontario is making it easier to evict renters. here's what you need to know. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 well this is super shitty. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 may every one of those U.S. venues go broke 🖕🏻 npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 do better, CBC. you headline an article about 150 people living in a homeless encampment in Regina by parroting what NIMBY business owners think? 🤨 how about putting humanizing homeless people front and centre for a goddamn change? npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 oh interesting! Diana Chan McNally is running for Toronto City Council in Parkdale-High Park - she launched her campaign the day after Gord Perks announced he is retiring from city politics. i hope she gets in. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 The world may be burning but at least the world’s fattest parrot has been boning. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 > While other countries welcome students from Gaza, Canada has kept the door closed on students accepted into university programs here. This treatment is heartless and discriminatory, argue academics Sean Tucker and Aaron Shafer npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 oh noooooooooooooo 🥺😢😭 npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 this is the exact opposite of what Canada should be doing on electric vehicles. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 Once you understand how many elegant self-correcting mechanisms are built into a bicycle, it's hard not to appreciate that it's one of the most successful dynamically stable machines ever invented. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 upshot: don't get your child an e-scooter, get them a bicycle instead. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 Overall: an e-scooter is not just slightly less stable than a bicycle; it is *fundamentally in a different stability class*, relying much more heavily on active rider balance rather than passive mechanical self-correction. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 * Why e-scooters are less stable* npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 *Why bicycles are surprisingly stable* npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 Take it from a professional physicist. (Note: physics is the branch of knowledge involved in road accident reconstruction.) npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 why do you think e-scooters are still illegal on roads in most areas of this province? it isn't because regulators are stick-in-the-muds. it's because there's a big injury burden associated to these things. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 everyone should realize that e-scooters are a physically risky form of transport, especially when driven above about 20km/h. if you fall off, you're going to have facial trauma at a minimum. just ask my 50-something brother who got stuck with a big dental bill. ALWAYS wear a FULL FACE HELMET on these things - a bike helmet isn't enough. and NEVER EVER ride with MORE THAN ONE RIDER on board. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 many Canadians definitely need lessons in how to recognize fascism. nobody should be surprised that it has a foothold in this country. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 the Owls in Towels feed's Alt Text game is reliably absolutely superb: npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 damn. mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus are here - first confirmed case of 2026 in Toronto 🦠🦟 npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 Canadians need to know that public scientists at the 🇨🇦 Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation help produce wildfire & disaster mapping that emergency responders depend on - and that as part of Natural Resources Canada, the centre is being gutted by a plan to cut 400 jobs by 2029. this is a deeply false economy and will come back to bite us in future. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 finally, the CBC connects the dots. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 U.S. soccer legend Megan Rapinoe has lost a big brand deal recently because AI flagged her trans rights advocacy as a "risk". npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 here's where the accident was: at approximately the Hwy 4 overpass over the Hwy 401, on the eastbound side npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 holy shit. there's a really bad accident on the HWY 401 East before Pearson that has a MEDEVAC HELICOPTER ON THE ROAD! one small car was smashed like i've never seen. 😰 npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 ICYMI: A Grand Canyon river rafting guide who aimed to become the first American woman to row across the mid-Pacific solo has completed a record-breaking journey from California to Hawaii. She *beat the men's record by eight days* as well as the women's! npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 As conflicts and division dominate news headlines around the world, Professor Rangi Mātāmua (Tūhoe), said Matariki sends this message: npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 the sheer number of dead from the Venezuelan twin earthquakes and aftershocks is staggering. more than 16,000 have been injured as well. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 a judge in 🇨🇦 has sentenced two anti-Indigenous white women to life without possibility of parole for 25 years for murdering an Indigenous boy L.L. in their "care", & 10 concurrent years for torturing his surviving Indigenous sibling J.L. in their "care". npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 help me out here - why shouldn't temperature-ceiling upgrades be paid for by the same landlords who have been financially benefiting for years/decades from letting their tenants bake every summer? npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 anti-Black racism among Montreal police is so bad that the Mayor's husband was stopped not once but 5-6 times last year for the offence of Driving While Black. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 in 🇨🇦, Holocaust denial is a crime but Residential Schools denial is not a crime. the Senate just voted down an attempt to change that. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 Erin Brockovich (yes, the Erin Brockovich who inspired the movie starring Julia Roberts!) is an amazing person. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 holy moly. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 i hope they win bigtime. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 the night sky tonight where i am npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 we should be building a world where there are no more Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women Girls and Two-Spirit people ❤️ #RedDressDay #MMIWG2S npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 too little, too late. grade: F npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 the cutest trash receptacle i've ever seen npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 yep that was absolutely shameful. 😡 npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 what the flying fuck?! npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 In 2020, when Covid-19 hit Aotearoa/New Zealand's shores, Māori acted quickly to stop the pandemic from reaching their communities, applying the lessons learned from the influenza pandemic of 1918, which had so devastated Māori. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 good — and i hope it sticks federally and provincially and municipally npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 land back! ✊🏻 npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 apparently you failed LGBTIQ Allyship 101: if someone is a woman and homosexual she's lesbian not gay 🙄 npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 in Māori, the term for autism - "takiwātanga" - translates as "in their own space/time". i love how it is not framed as a bunch of deficits. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 this is right up there with the worst ideas in history - putting nuclear weapons in orbit. the 1967 Outer Space Treaty prohibits weapons of mass destruction in space for a reason. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 in Māori, the relatively newly coined word for ADHD—"aroreretini"—translates as "attention goes to many things". i love how it isn't as stigmatizing as the English term. npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 poll for professors:- npub1uc672asdgsqsw53y6d3n7jhe2kd6daa7n6gvm3u5cmal3wav8ums6dxmg0 A-Dub 🥝 all the more unimpressive seeing as how one of his kids is trans
