'When in 2007 #Ljubljana closed 12 hectares of its city center to private cars, just 40% of residents approved.

A decade later, no less than 97% were against reopening to motor traffic: “None of us can really imagine cars ever staging a comeback”.'

it is ludicrously dangerous to bike for transportation in most of the country and yet people act like you’re demanding gold-plated streets when you ask for protected bike lanes

@TRyanGregory What's your go to source for COVID levels in Ontario?

Big news: @usedgov will begin notifying borrowers that their federal loans will be discharged following fixes to income driven repayment plans.

This is a result of the Administration’s actions to ensure borrowers have an accurate count of payments qualifying for IDR forgiveness.

@arthijayaraman Thanks Arthi! Maybe I'll do the same, but probably less here on Twitter...

I'm debating become more active on LinkedIn, rather than on Twitter. Do folks here have thoughts on LinkedIn vs. Twitter?

It is very funny that everyone understands housing supply affects prices when talking about AirBnB ("they converted these apartments and took them off the market!") but doesn't extrapolate that forward to construction ("how are these new apartments supposed to lower rents?")

Let this sink in: 35% of faculty on job market are there SIMPLY to gain a counter-offer to renegotiate terms of their current position!!

Postdocs like me have to compete with them!!

This CO culture is a painful reminder of how toxic #academia often is. #phdchat #AcademicTwitter

Being loyal to a shipping company seems silly but I sure do love seeing these @FedEx delivery bikes and electric @brightdrop vans around town.

31. Also get your rooftop solar system built when you have scaffolding up for something else, 'cos scaffolding is expensive. Ideally build it when you’re building the roof, there will never be a better time.

Rooftop solar mandates are good and should be more common.

What does it take for Democrats to start playing hardball? Apparently not the Court arrogating to itself all the powers of their legislative or executive offices. Apparently not the justices engaging in open corruption and laughing off the idea they could be held accountable.

My philosophy, which I hope others will share, is to NEVER publish in a journal that I hear through the grapevine asks/requests potential authors to cite papers in their journal. This "impact-factor hacking" is straight-up unethical.

It’s worth repeating many times that the new progressive Mayor of Toronto, @OliviaChow, rides her bike for transportation and doesn’t have a drivers licence. #Toronto

Was surprised to see PM2.5 levels in my home creep up last night to ~20 ug/m3. Higher levels outside. Bumped up filtration inside --> ~10 ug/m3 inside now.

Again, super valuable in our apocalyptic world to get an indoor air quality monitor.

BREAKING: Progressive stalwart Olivia Chow will be Toronto's next mayor, the CBC News decision desk projected Monday, elected in a stunningly tight race that saw former councillor Ana Bailão come in a close second. https://t.co/UnvTNtKSt7
