Not Sure How They Deal With Criminals In Your Town, But ’Round Here We Use A Restorative Justice Process

Importance: High subj: An article for U (gift link) i wrote ,,,,,, about jeff epstein. s emails. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is NYT: but her emails

Broke: Trump’s reign of ruin over American society can only be thwarted by a nationwide project of civic renewal and community organizing for resistance Woke: Trump’s reign of ruin can also be thwarted because he was massively, massively involved with child sex trafficking

"Larry Summers believed he was oppressed by the American elite" is both ridiculous and deeply revealing about how these men see the world

Wow. Can't say much else. The overhead corona was unbelievable. The most intense reds and greens. ❤️💚😍💃 She'll be dancing until sunrise. I visited Franconia Sculpture Park over summer and it has been on my aurora photo bucket list ever since. That's where I went last night. Schafer, Minnesota.

In an age where we have fewer and fewer collective cultural experiences that everyone is in on, it’s so special to come online and just scream, “omg omg omg” with strangers from across the country.

IT GOT BETTER 📍Central MN

Speechless

Final paving of the Kenilworth Trail and Midtown Greenway intersection—complete with bike trail roundabout!—is underway now. Cannot wait for this to finally be completed.

The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.

November 10, 1975 7:20pm: Edmund Fitzgerald enters a particularly heavy squall line and disappears from the Arthur M. Anderson's radar. She is never seen or heard from again.

"this is your last time to dodge a block" I intone menacingly at the broken self-checkout kiosk in the JFK Terminal 4 Camden Foods Express

To be fair: both are probably better than a 170km long, 500 metre high building.

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

"I unequivocally reject identity politics" i scream, right before selecting my five gallon cowboy hat for my Fox Business interview.

Everybody wants to celebrate the boys being back in town, nobody wants to examine the circumstances that forced the boys to leave in the first place.

Last light of fall.

Thanks to the Illinois’ massive investment in transit, Chicago has a bright transit future, with the dawn coming next year: —50% increase in every-10-min bus routes to 30 citywide —8-minute midday headways on rail lines —24-hour Orange Line service (Red & Blue already have it)

As Minneapolis prepares to start ticketing speeders where the city installed cameras to catch leadfooted drivers, preliminary data shows they are working.

Two things to say: First, if you see something that doesn't look safe or comfortable on our streets, please submit it to 311 or reach out. Second, we have such an excellent PW department! Thanks to my colleagues who understood the issue here immediately and quickly devised and built a fix.

Tonight, American voters delivered a Democratic resurgence.

mine eyes? seeing the glory. the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored? trampled. the faithful lighting of his terrible swift sword? buddy, you better believe that's loosed.

This appointment is such good news for the twin cities and @metcouncilmn.bsky.social ! Whether you’re going to work, the grocery, or a friend’s house, Twin Cities residents need transportation options that are safe & work for their wallet, ability, and age. Robin gets that and knows how to deliver.

ICYMI: Yesterday, I released this fascinating conversation with Peter Bird, a resident of Heidelberg, Germany, and a doctoral researcher at the Technical University, Eindhoven in the Netherlands, who is studying and documenting the historical context of Minneapolis as a cycling city. bit.ly/3JpQnKS

No matter how easy early voting gets, you can't keep this Election Day enjoyer away (Election night, I sometimes enjoy less)

Oh, the neocons are gonna find some secret weapon to stop the groypers? Would this be the same one they used to stop Trump? www.unpopularfront.news/p/who-will-w...

It's uncanny how Cuomo has been laser-focused at appealing to the absolute worst qualities in people - their insularity, their tribalism, and now their fear. A campaign monumental in its cynicism, a colossal bet by this man and his billionaire backers that people are basically bad.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...
