Connecting BC: A 10-year vision for public transit throughout BC

Let’s not keep BC riders waiting. It’s time to invest in the transit British Columbians deserve.

Bluesky doesn’t really have a mascot, you know how Twitter had the bird? We can’t just have the sky. Our mascot should be Paul Giamatti because he’s grumpy, not too widely known, and he probably has the correct opinion about a lot of things but expresses them in an abrasive way.

I’ve been sending mine to @jfallows.bsky.social and they all get put to good use! His recurrent post: “If you have surplus Bsky invites, pls consider sending them to me. JFallowsSubstack at gmail. I've recycled ~2000 in past few weeks. (I put up notices on Xitter each time I get 50 or so)”

Send your extra Bsky invites to the brilliant @jfallows.bsky.social and subscribe to his excellent substack!

"thin-skinned man buys criticism machine"

it’s interesting to me that his spiral accelerated in pace with driving normal users off twitter, filling his timeline almost exclusively with weirdo simps who tell him how brilliant he is. he got exactly what he thought he wanted and turns out it tastes like sawdust and tears

If he wasn't a powerful and litigious white supremacist, what Elon's going through would be deeply sad. He clearly has a bottomless need for approval, has been used to getting it for years and is now destroying his life to seek it out from the dwindling number of losers willing to give it to him.

So many great choices for 1985 but this brings back every feeling from that year…
