Guys! I heard a bird chirping outside! ๐ฆ๐ทโ๏ธ
Seriously. It's so hard to imagine a mindset whereby those actions are more rewarding that solving some of the world's biggest problems and changing people's lives for the better...
Ahead of the provincial election, some thoughts from Ontario United Ways on how the next provincial government can address and prevent homeless. It starts with understanding that housing is a human right & dignity is non-negotiable. unitedwayem.ca/ontario-unit...
I just started. So far SO good!
Trying for a little more joy and a lot less doomscrolling.
Brian Lilley & @brianlilley Follow Rip em out already! Ford government moves to start pulling out bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University with more to come. Sane people sing hallelujah and cyclists gnash their teeth! Image of a person using a protect bike lanes beside parked cars and underutilized number of southbound car lanes on University Av
Brian Lilley & @brianlilley Follow Hey @UberEats I paid for fast delivery. It took an hour. The food is cold. Your customer service site doesn't let me submit anything. Why am I paying you extra money for people who don't bring my food directly to me and instead ride a bike all over town in the freezing cold?
Remove the bike lanes!

You there on a bike! Delivery me my sandwich!!
Same guy.

Okay, but hear me out.
Incredible. If attendance doubles to 120 people after being open for less than 48 hours, Londonโs current winter response is clearly not enough. 396 beds offered by community partners, plus 120 at East Carling yesterday. Where will these folx go when Carling closes? t.co/d7eRhPOYAs
The wind gusts are devastating. Truly a hurricane of fire.

Oooooh.... Good to know that BP has Impossible. ๐คค
I prefer soy based patties. Impossible & Costco has one called "Plant Based Protein Burger" in the frozen section. Beyond products are pea protein based, and I don't care for the taste but texture OK.
The existence of billionaires indicates a failure of the tax system. Tax them back to being millionaires. No one needs that kind of money or the power it buys. Also, it can't be a true meritocracy if billionaires exist.
I used to love going to the salad bar but then they put up a sneeze guard and turned it into an echo chamber
There's nothing I can do to stop the broligarchy from happening, but at least I don't have to witness the takeover in real time.
A little bit of local #LdnOnt art to brighten your dreary morning. I won this very large, striking painting by Donnie Ray 10 years ago or so at the IABC Virtuoso awards.

One thing Iโll always be grateful to pre-Elon Twitter for is proving that a city planner talking about better cities could grow a really big audience on social media. When I started, I never would have thought a practicing city planner could get to 155K followers.
