The Ontario Government is trying to strip out bike lanes we just got finished building and is adding lots of red tape to the process of adding new bike lanes. I got annoyed enough that I wrote, recorded, and animated this protest song in a week. Go call Doug Ford!! youtu.be/Z9vsHzj_-ZU

If you were curious how project steering is done for p5.js, we've been using this governance model for a year now, and the Processing Foundation just made this post about it: processingfoundation.org/blog/p5js-sh...

I have released a tool to back up all of your sketches from the p5.js editor: github.com/golanlevin/e....

ayyyyyyy!

those first few minutes where Bradford was ahead had me so stressed. looking better for chow now as stuff gets in, thank goodness. gonna be a nail biter though eh

And the freaking greatest thing I have ever seen: this intersection has a traffic signal that is set by DEFAULT for pedestrians and cyclists, cars have to activate to cross. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Here in Toronto, only two candidates for Mayor have a shot (and Gong isn't one of them). They have significantly different visions for the city. Please vote as if it matters - because it very much does.

really emotionally moving seeing Watsky do X Infinity ten years on. so much of the world changed, so much is disappointingly the same. what an album!

heart is full after OSACC <3 I feel more determination, drive, and connection to my people. sad to be going home in a few hours, but I'm so grateful to have seen so many friends new and old.

Remember that polls have a margin of error, and that smaller polls (such as at the individual ward level) have a larger margin of error. So even if the poll says your favourite candidate is leading, don't count on it. Go vote.

It's actually kind of emotional seeing this message up. Especially while we have heroes fighting in Toronto to keep streets safe.

"cycling militants [should accept] a compromise for bike lanes in secondary grids rather than arterial roads" There is no "secondary grid." Because of Toronto's piecemeal growth, it literally does not exist. The lanes reach where people want to go. And there is nowhere else to put them.

Feeling pretty helpless/overwhelmed today seeing people throwing tacks on bike lanes and seeing how big a police presence was brought in. Is this what people wanted?

Every pedestrian, cyclist, and driver death along here belongs to Doug Ford, Prabmeet Sarkaria, and their government. Even though they legislated away the right to sue in advance. #Bikesky #BikeTO #Toronto

Announced this morning, @cycletoronto.bsky.social is seeking leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada

"But nobody bikes in Toronto 6 months a year"

One thing about people citing slower car travel times on Bloor West following the bike lane install is, well, that was kind of the point. Drivers were **averaging** nearly 20 km/h over the current speed limit at spots. Road revamp has brought speeds closer to limit. www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...

Y'all. Please check out the new @processingorg.bsky.social foundation fellowship: processingfoundation.org/programs/fel... Apply by November 1st, 2026

Opinion: Doug Ford's plan to spend $48 million ripping up Toronto bike lanes has attracted some naysayers. One East York resident texted the premier's cellphone to tell him about his close friend who died in a cycling accident and asked him to reconsider. The response he received included "lmao."

You take our bike lanes, we take the road. Toronto showed up Friday night. 📸 @geoffreybercarich via Instagram

small post about open source contribution (from my p5 perspective at least) in the tech landscape 2026. a reminder: your imperfect work is good! you do not have to feel the pressure to do more, faster. www.davepagurek.com/blog/your-wo...

I love weird wavy building reflections #TOphoto

oops I noticed at the last creative code meetup when i was showing an animation I made on Newgrounds that i got an unfortunate random site supporter message. i swear my username is not BigDickDave421!!

This is happening tomorrow! Come on out and share what you've been working on recently!

Our ABC mayoral candidates — Alexander, Bradford and Chow — are getting set to face off at the Daily Bread Food Bank debate. I will post some thoughts and jokes, probably. You can watch live here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHv6...

Excited to celebrate “A Quarter Century of Processing” with Cassie Tarakajian, Moon Davé, Qianqian Ye, and Xin Xin for this one-time only performance at Ars Electronica tomorrow 🥳 #arselectronica #processing25

Great stuff in KC. ⚾️ @chaoskat.bsky.social

it is tradition for me to send my sister a picture like this whenever I get new shoes

That’s almost the entire network. It’s so much worse than we feared 😔

Hey #BikeTO! In response to today's announcement from the Ford government they started the process of removing bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University, @cycletoronto.bsky.social launched a new petition calling on Ford to fight Trump instead of Toronto. #TOpoli #ONpoli www.cycleto.ca/fight_trump

Our next Creative Code Toronto show & tell session at InterAccess is September 16! www.meetup.com/creative-cod...

Freaking great turnout for this critical mass🔥🔥🔥

yayoi kusama too? oh man what a week

Dolly 😭

Toronto, rise up.

Ford celebrated ripping out bike lanes 2 days ago. Meanwhile, Bike Share is recording it's 5 millionth rider today. This is more rides than were seen in all of 2022, the system has doubled its ridership in 4 years.

Big day and not the news we were hoping for. I'm not shocked. I'm disappointed. But this fight isn't over. The facts are clear: bike lanes do not cause traffic congestion; ripping them out will put people's lives at risk. Add your name and stay tuned for next steps: www.cycleto.ca/defendbloor

sigh... its time to phone the government again

This is BAD NEWS for public safety & mobility in Ontario. Make no mistake what this ruling means—the lower court decision established that ripping out protected bike-lanes WILL cost lives & that was unconstitutional. This Appeal decision says Doug Ford is constitutionally allowed to ENDANGER LIVES.

#BetterBikeLanes on Bloor, Beverley, Bay, St. George, and University are still possible. We just need elected representatives who will prioritize them 🚲

One more blog: we're building a video/motion graphics editor at a time when lots of other tools are popping up claiming to do the same while offloading creative decisions to AI. Here's how we think about what creative tools should do, and what we're working towards. www.butter.video/blog/creativ...

lmao gong is a candidate for mayor again! get ready for more signs!!

Um Toronto has many quiet, welcoming streets for a bike network trust me I’m an urban planner

I wrote up a tutorial here about motion design and animation principles in the context of creative coding! Not so much a tutorial on specific p5 features, but how to think about things like timing and easing: www.butter.video/blog/animati...

ok biidaasige park is pretty cool
