Yes, how dare a Canadian news site reports on the politics of the enormously powerful country we share a border with. They should know that nothing that happens in America has ever affected Canadians.

    We have them. The bike route I take to work in Vancouver has a concrete barrier, but it doesn't stop ebike riders from silently sneaking up and nearly knocking me off my bike, and it doesn't stop the uber eats guys driving on the sidewalk to their pickup locations. I agree infrastructure is important, but the enforcement for public safety is severely lacking.

    This politician is a jackass, but I do wish there was a bit more bylaw enforcement being directed at e-bikes and scooters. I can't count the times I've almost been smoked by one on the goddamn sidewalk, or been sideswiped by what is essentially a silent motorcycle in a bicycle lane. Especially dangerous when they're so favored by delivery app couriers who are also incentivized to rush at high speeds.

    Hmm. I pay for letterboxd pro because I like stats and watch a ton of movies. I pay a yearly fee to porkbun for my domain name. I pay Kagi for search because it's so much better than the free alternatives. I pay a couple usenet providers, and a few sponsorships on github, but that's about it.

    With today's news of Letterboxd being acquired by an investment company, I got to wondering if I should start weaning my movie obsession off of there and onto something more open before the inevitable enshittification begins. I did a cursory search and found nothing promising, but figured the braintrust here might know something I don't!
