I'm now (at)wirelizard(dot)bsky(dot)social over on the other newer place apparently run by a less-destructively unhinged billionaire...

Here in Apartheid Failson's Nazi Bar apparently what's plaguing other remaining users is pornbots. What I get is cryptospam. Mostly I'm over at the blue sky place these days.

@OakandThird51 @RaynaRambling Towers contain homes, you sad little bigot.

@RaynaRambling If you think that looks great next to homes, then I can't help you.

Selfish people trying to block housing for arbitrary reasons.

@RethinkUrban That in part of the former Canoe Club space?

@Jazzer1233 @CarRelianceBC @she3pio @saanich I think @she3pio is actually saying, "my eyesight is so dreadful @icbc should take my driver's licence away", or possibly "my eyesight is so dreadful I'll absolutely be at fault in my next automobile crash!". Which is it, I wonder?

⚠️Upcoming Traffic Advisory We are installing concrete barrier curbs along Gorge Rd the week of December 4, 2023. Crews will be on-site between 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Alternating single-lane traffic will be in effect. Learn more about the upgrade project: saanich.ca/gorgeupgrade

@Burgundavia Oh look it's a Blue Tick with stupid opinions. Must be a day ending in y.

And she did it very well, in the face of a lot of opposition (like the quoted tweeter). Maybe some good lessons for housing there?

@CanadaRobin @ilovethearts At one point it was Queen Victoria riding a bike. It got updated to a octopus because octopuses are less problematic than dead colonial Queens.

@ilovethearts 1) Shouldn’t the goose be galloping? 2) Is the octopus dressed as Whistler’s Mother? If so, why? 3) Why is it called Galloping Goose, anyway?

Who knew that octopuses ride bicycles? This mural is on the Galloping Goose Trail adjacent to Selkirk Waters in #Victoria. #ThingsYouSeeWhileRiding #ThingsYouMissWhenDriving

@theADWilliams O Dog of course it's that dumbass. All the self-awareness of the common housebrick. And I think I've just insulted every brick ever.

@JewelKnightJess That looks like one of those old metal figures that winds up being 50% greenstuff and pins by volume... good luck!

@MurdochOakBay Your pathetic progress on active travel infra is also something that should be an embarrassment, but it's increasingly obvious you don't actually have any shame or self awareness.

What I've learned from the responses is that the Province is quadrupling the density of every municipality in BC & stripping local decisions from the people who live there because... Oak Bay voted against a healthcare facility 11 years ago and we don't have enough bike lanes 😕

@Lagoonman @MurdochOakBay @UBCM I grew up in Oak Bay. I now live elsewhere in Vic and watching OB be so immature about density and our housing crisis is embarrassing.

@wirelizard @MurdochOakBay @UBCM @wirelizard your post wreaks of entitlement. Want a home in oak bay? Do what I and many others did, start small in a less expensive municipality and work your ass off to build equity, then one day fulfill your dream. Too many ppl wanting immediate gratification.

As the BC Provincial government contemplates taking over zoning from municipalities, there are of questions of cascading consequences. A (bit of a long) video on the crushing impact on local democracy. Is this worth the cost? #t=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">vimeo.com/885543921?shar… #BCPoli @UBCM

@icbc So did you do anything useful in October, or just spew victim blaming bullshit?

As this month's pedestrian safety campaign comes to an end, it’s still important to consider pedestrian safety as we enter the darker months and driving visibility decreases. Thank you to our road safety team, volunteers, and partners for raising awareness. 💙💜

@crd_bc What the victim blaming fuck? Please delete this, between the cops and ICBC there is already enough stupid victim blaming "traffic safety" crap out there. Do better.

@Enziet_ @sj2go The one photo of this in a protected lane, it's on Store St at Pandora, I'm pretty sure, which is a one way protected lane. So it would fit in the two way lanes.

We have a new entry in the bike lane wars in Victoria. 😆 #epower

@TooFatLardies Wild. I've always had amazingly quick Royal Mail-Canada Post service, in decades of ordering from the UK to Canada, hope that isn't changing!

Posted to a customer in Canada in June. Arrived back in the UK today. Forwarded on by the Belgian Post Office. We are just about at the point where Canada Post are making us consider if we can continue to take orders from that country.

@TealePB These are all over Esquimalt. I admire the creators dedication to adding a bit of surreality to the world!

@AmericanFietser Oh God. That idiot is local to me and he's toxic as hell. Not surprised to learn he's got a stupid toxic traffic safety take.

@ChillAsHellYYJ @coltonw24 The Vault is a coffee shop in downtown Nanaimo that is absolutely top flight, and there's a pair of awesome used book shops about a block away. It's not all highways and concrete...just mostly.

@KenSeitlinger @CanadaRobin @RichmondRCMP @tomflood1 @TheBikingLawyer @martynschmoll You seem confused. Those are bicycles, not toys.

@CanadaRobin @RichmondRCMP @tomflood1 @TheBikingLawyer @martynschmoll Toys don't belong on the road.

Just heading out for a family bike ride, hoping we are wearing enough hi-viz to deserve to live. What do you think, @RichmondRCMP, is this sufficient?

@RoadSafetyBC Oh look, VictimBlamingBC haven't learned a thing.

🚴‍♂️🚗 Cyclists, just like pedestrians, face real risks in car collisions. Driver distraction and failure to yield are top causes of these accidents. Let's work together – both drivers and cyclists – to ensure safety on the road! 🚦 #RoadSafety #CyclingSafety #GoByBikeWeek
