I was reading a book the other day and the author threw in a passing mention to a bridge in Cork, Ireland which I’m pretty sure was a gift to me personally because what do you mean the locals have called it The Shakey Bridge for so long that recent conservation works were forced to retain the wobble

there’s an interesting thing we’ve done in our social circle as a result of Covid which is: now we let people know before social activities if anyone has any symptoms of anything potentially contagious, so everyone can make their own risk assessment

This was a really good video about the wrangling to bring rapid transit to the Montreal neighbourhoods that need it the most!
It looks like Montreal is spending money on a train for the sake of having a train. At this point they should just invest the billions into bonds and use the interest to run more and better bus service and end up with a better outcome.

Been driving for a couple hours. Just got online. Lemme see if I understand. US has been pushing a Ukraine plan for a few days. After some pushback, US Secy of State reveals that in fact it's a Russian plan that was presented to the US. Helluva a misunderstanding.

Households in #canada “should” be able to live with just one car. Cuz if you can live with one car, you would be able to live with no car.
