Good night, Internet. Today has been a good day.

Overheard in #a2council discussion: "exclusive triplexes and vertically gated communities"

How I imagine this former #a2council member:

Check out this wonderful blast-from-the-past song about riding your bike and taking the bus in Ann Arbor! This is gonna be playing on repeat in our heads for the next month. Shout out to @kirkwestphal.bsky.social for putting it together. #A2Council #AnnArbor #Transit #BikeSky

Every political discussion in Ann Arbor feels like this. #a2council

🧵 Living in Michigan, if a political issue seems frustratingly impossible to advance, you can almost always find the roots in policies motivated by racial and economic segregation. When you scrape back the "housing theory of everything" you find racism and classism under the hood.

This is what should happen if you honk at a pedestrian in a crosswalk or creep forward while they're crossing

As Michigan lawmakers look to update state zoning laws to allow for additional housing, I think it would be great if we could look at the idea of pre-approved house plans. Cities such as Ann Arbor should do this as well. cc. @abundanthousingmi.bsky.social #A2Council #AnnArbor #Michigan

In #Stargate there is no reason to call it an "iris" rather than a sphincter.

Me: I would like to get up and eat some tomato soup now. Nurse Butterscotch (not moving):

If you see this, post a monster!

Well there's a first time for everything.

My nurse is being quite insistent that I not get up.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Counterpoint: No. ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.

This is going to be me for the next month

Can't park there m8

Since #a2council isn't building bollards everywhere, clearly they hate fun.

MFW @slotkin.senate.gov , @debbiedingell.house.gov et al still aren't impeaching.

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE. And this is what they called it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...

The top graph implies that the average OECD country saw road deaths rise during the last decade. Nope. At the bottom, the OECD removed US data to show that other countries actually made progress. As an American, this is embarrassing.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Good morning #a2council. If you haven't already, please watch planning commissioner Dan Adams's closing speech from last night: www.youtube.com/live/IEGcVzo...

Oh, the grand old duke of york He ██████████████████ He ██████████████████ And he ██████████████████

MFW the bulldozer boys are making really good points about the best way to actually save trees. #a2council

This fog is so beautiful

Replace "cars" with "hippos" and there would be a million people demanding that the government do something about these dangerous animals roaming our streets.

OMG stop sharing half naked crazy old dude with half naked creepy old dude videos. It is time to go do something more pleasant like eat glass.

Nice

The idea that someone who gets around with a $2000 piece of equipment is "elitist" while someone who uses a $30,000+ piece of equipment that costs hundreds of dollars per month to operate is "normal" is quite the brainwashing.

It drives me insane that Elon Musk basically did a Holodomor on the third world and it's not treated like a bigger deal. This should be the number one thing that people know him for. This should be in the first paragraph of his Wikipedia entry. This is a history book scale atrocity.

I'D JUST LIKE TO INTERJECT FOR A MOMENT. WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO AS LINUX IS IN FACT GNU/LINUX, OR AS I'VE RECENTLY TAKEN TO CALLING IT, GNU PLUS LINUX. LINUX IS NOT AN OPERATING SYSTEM UNTO ITSELF, BUT RATHER ANOTHER FREE COMPONENT OF A FULLY FUNCTIONING GNU SYSTEM

Alexander Hamilton (1755/57–1804) was a Caribbean‑born Founding Father who rose to prominence in the Revolutionary War, shaped the U.S. Constitution, co‑authored the Federalist Papers, and served as the first Secretary of the Treasury before dying in a duel with Aaron Burr

This is just to say we have dissolved the “nonprofit” that we made for the Commons and which we were definitely using for tax fraud Forgive us it was our lawyer so sour and so old #a2council

There’s only one I.C.E which we should be funding, the other should be abolished.

Who in their right mind could possibly say no to putting this face on #a2council?

In calendar year 2025, AAFD rescued 44 animals and responded to 58 structure fires. Out of their 8,651 emergency calls, less than 2% of them were about fires. Almost ¾ of their calls were medical in nature. Perhaps "Ann Arbor Emergency Response" is a better name. #a2council wdyt?

Perhaps it is time for #a2council to ban parking.
