Anyhow, I've been ramping down here for the past month, and ramping up there. That trend will continue.
It's nice having a feed that's mostly people I follow again.

X is now a regime propaganda platform. Stop posting here, stop engaging here, and get your organizations off here. Especially if you're in Canada or anywhere else in the world being targeted by the nazis and fellow travelers who are trying to destroy the US

[Michael Druker 💙💛 @m_druker]

If you’ve been sticking to this site because you think the other one doesn’t have enough unhinged content, you really should reconsider

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

@chaicube Required, no. And it is heavy on the humans, so you gotta want more of that. I've only seen 2 episodes, but frankly i kinda want to finish it now.

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

@chaicube logging back into twitter for the express purpose of gushing at you:
The Sonic 3 movie was good!! What! An honestly great adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2 into a movie!
Have you seen it yet???

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

@chaicube The Shadow/Maria stuff is actually improved by having a real human actress involved

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

@chaicube The first two hover between "fine" and "bad", but honestly you gotta watch them before 3, so you are properly indoctrinated into the tone.
In 3, they finally find the right balance of Sonic's Shitty Human Friends, and honestly I cheered for them showing up

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

I'd really planned on making this a 10+ post thread on all the really terrible experience-ruining parts of nu-twitter, but honestly in the 2 months since I've moved full time to the other place, I no longer feel simmering rage about it!
Anyway, you should come too.

Twitter was great
It became basically a public utility!
But it's not a public utility.
I can't trust the guy in charge.

@HaroldLi Clearly you need to play the Bluey videogame

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

I'm very excited about Ford's Robert Moses style plan to expropriate land and build parallel bike highways to Yonge, Bloor, and Eglinton.

Secondary routes don't currently exist, so I assume this is his plan.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

Bike lanes belong on secondary streets, not clogging traffic on main roads. It’s time to get you moving again.

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

@_ChanFace It's a through street for over 2km, so clearly it's a main artery and bikes must be banned

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

Did my part and submitted a comment against the Bike Lane Ban

Not that the conservatives aren't going to pass this thing no matter what...

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

So many people look at Finch West LRT, and *assume* it will be like Spadina or St Clair streetcars.
The difference is going to be night and day.

[Reece Martin @RM_Transit]

Its still amusing to me how confidently many in Toronto talk about "LRT" and what it will be like while Toronto still has yet to have any "LRT". (Except for the retconned Spadina and Queens Quay Lines)

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

@BlankCheckMeta 2024's been Blank Check with Giovanni and Ribisi, hasn't it

[Mark Jackson-Brown @Markster3000]

@BlairKing_ca @amoralorealis Pretty sure "south of the Fraser" is bigger in sqkm. Even if funding is perfectly equal per capita, spreading it across more area gives exactly the apparent "lower spending" I'm talking about.
Secondly, the real number to use to compare "where people are" is population+jobs.
