Access to traditional food/flavours from around the world. I enjoy Himalayan, provincial Korean, Cantonese, Nigerian, Cree, Punjabi, Afghani, Finnish, Serbian, Yemeni and rural Japanese dishes at restaurants within 5 km of my house—and it has forever altered my (and my friends’) cooking. 💙
Michael Druker 🇨🇦@mdruker.app · 6d agoSocial media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?
Car machismo is so illogical. Bro taps a pedal with a shoe in a/c glass bubble—and that makes him man enough to kill a cyclist. Meanwhile my wife commutes in -25C with just a slick set of goggles, some knitted mitts, 3 layers and a half jug of coffee in her veins. Who’s tougher to you? 🤷🏾♂️

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 3w agoWe’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.
Lobbying: it’s as American as apple pie. But it’s also a great way to see who and what is hiding in PLAIN SIGHT. Follow the Benjamins!

Because to certain people with power, equality and equity feels like a type of murder. It isn’t. We have had to keep saying this for HUNDREDS OF YEARS. We’re tired.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 2mo agoFor a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.
@parismarx.com oh damn, you’re coming to Edmonton in November? Nice! Hoping a signed copy of your book are in my future 👊🏾🧔🏾♂️
Cyclists were the primary force behind organized political pressure for better, paved roads before the arrival of cars and drivers. Drivers now think they own the road and oppose safe infrastructure for all other road users. What if tanks started using roads and were crushing cars and people?

It’s almost like companies expect the public to not know what ‘unsecured’ means. “Hey public, we need to regulate the stuff we’re borrowing billions to make” (while we leave all your back doors open. 🙃🙃 Also, if you give any shits about technology in 🇨🇦 betakit is tops. 👊🏾🧔🏾♂️
Kinda wild that we’re shuffling evermore quickly back to the climate era that created the layers of algae & plant material we burn evermore rapidly today. 🤷🏾♂️

I wonder how quickly the province of Alberta will remove its provincial fish once it goes from endangered to extinct (or extirpated). 🤷🏾♂️ This province is the home of own goals. There is no greater enemy of Alberta than its own hubris. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hot take: The ENTIRE political internet is insincere. It’s paid ‘at best’ (the right), or ‘aspiring to NOT BE broke’ at worst (the left). 💰 The sooner the world recognizes this, the quieter OUR WORLD will become. 🌍

For some of us, the blueprint was clear, if not obvious. But receipts count. Great reporting from the trenches of tech of just how well the original plan is working — for investors, not citizens: disconnect.blog/global-depen...
Global dependence on US tech was always the plan
The imperial project of Silicon Valley and the US government is out in the open. Countries need to reclaim their sovereignty.

At some point Canadians are going to realize that the national parks they cherish (one that I am on a board for) are not as much pristine wilderness to conserve as they are sacred lands taken by the force of a colonial federation. Probably not in my generation… 🙃 www.newsweek.com/canada-natio...
