Honestly, I'm outraged either way.
We've had nearly a decade of persistent and pernicious delays to the city's planned bike infrastructure. The fact that every AT project experiences these issues, and no one at any level seems to have learned from the last one, is reason enough for outrage, IMO.

Ireland’s “alternative” scene is just crazy these days. Especially Lankum and Fontaines DC for me, but lots of other interesting music www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...
‘We’ve got to release the dead hand of the past’: how Ireland created the world’s best alternative music scene
Irish indie acts used to be ignored, even on Irish radio. But songs confronting the Troubles, poverty and oppression are now going global – and changing how Ireland sees itself

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner.

Halifax never finding the budget to pay for its vision comes to mind
Many city halls are deep in budget-time. Some are pushing austerity ideologies, and are ignoring the difference between costs and cost-savers/value creators. Citizens, PAY ATTENTION, and never forget that the TRUTH about a city’s REAL aspirations isn’t found in its visions. It’s found in its budget.

Masterpiece; I remember the song from a long time ago, but as I never managed to get into The Specials, I also forgot about it. Until this week, as I saw that Lankum (one of my favourite bands the last few years) covered it. #TheSpecials #Lankum #music www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ2o...

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.
