Doesn't seem like the best route for a pipeline full of crude oil.
My brain keeps trying to convince me that one of the German players is named Kimchi.
I asked my latest guest, the performance artist Martin Reis, what a better Toronto would look like, and his first thought was fewer cars. Welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social!
Have you see the 'fifa refs' issuing red cards to non-compliant drivers in Toronto? I interviewed @martinreis.bsky.social the man behind this fun intervention about his many delightful urbanist art projects in the new episode of Future Mending Radio. Listen: www.buzzsprout.com/2396702/epis...
In ep. 22 of Future Mending Radio I talked to @makeworld.space about the danger of replacing older forms of objectivity with social trust. Despite @hankgreen.bsky.social 's valiant efforts, TikTok has too many people willing to tell you what you want to hear for social trust to be effective.
I think @parismarx.com should have someone from Hypha on the show, because at the end of the episode my guest mentioned that Hypha Coop was doing more work on Canadian data sovereignty recently, but we didn't have time to get into the details.
Don't let the bastards grind you down! Enjoy the sunshine. Enjoy food. Enjoy green leaves.
This is a tattoo on the leader of the US army who is waging a disastrous war on the Persian empire.
The world doesn't lack new ideas or volume of cultural or intellectual production. We lack actual wisdom and discernment that would help us choose between the infinite options of the modern world. That's why AI is mostly useless.
Carney's speech at Davos was insightful, but everything he says about superpowers bullying middle powers also applies to billionaires bullying regular voters. I took a moment to set the lay of the land in 2026 and talked about the dissonance in the first episode of Season 2.
Hey Canada, Trump just posted this. It's time to kick out the American ambassador and sell any US stocks or property you own. I actually think selling US stocks and treasuries is the fastest way to get Trump out of office.
Is that the Kensington Market car from Toronto on purpose or by coincidence?
Just cancelled and said Kimmel was the reason. Even though I don't particularly like Kimmel.
Age verification? My childhood TV remote control was connected to the TV with a wire.
Join me for Slow Saturday tomorrow by turning your internet off for the day! See you in a couple days. 🌝
Here's a preview of our discussion. Zach shares a story about how the Kootenay food coop in BC relied on exclusively local producers to get through the landslides that cut off the highway.
In this clip from Future Mending Radio, we react to the pure, clear call of the Northern Cardinal. Have a listen. 🐦👂 Excellent timeline cleanser.
Listen to a snippet of Episode 11 of Future Mending Radio where a friend and I listen to common Ontario bird calls and share jokes, facts and identification tips. Why not put bird songs in your brain alongside pop songs?
The birds are BACK in Ontario. Episode 11 of Future Mending Radio helps non-birders identify the calls of common birds! Plus jokes.
Episode 10 of Future Mending Radio is delicious! It's about chocolate from Chocosol, a chocolate company that considers its impacts from bean to bar. Plus it's got a brief history of chocolate and an intro to Forest Gardens.
I interviewed the co-founder of Chocosol Traders for my podcast Future Mending Radio. I new they took sustainability very seriously, that's why I interviewed them, but I did not expect him to take a stand on @thewaroncars.bsky.social while talking about chocolate.
