Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

Like Minnesota, the state of Missouri has a state-supported passenger train - the Missouri River Runner - connecting Kansas City and St. Louis, stopping at eight cities in between. Join us in advocating for more state supported trains including St. Paul to Fargo and the Twin Cities to Kansas City.

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

I don't think the usual political term "optics" really captures what these guys are about. It's not just that they're obsessively concerned with how things *look* and the *vibes* of masculinity, it's that they genuinely don't seem to realize there's a real world out there beyond that.

Hey, so did Minneapolis PD ever get around to finding the guy who shot up a homeless encampment whose image and car they had on camera? Or do they not know that they're allowed to solve more than one case a year?

Good article. This problem is also rampant with trains - every agency wants custom kit instead of just buying things off the rack.

Good morning, cyclists! We're here on the Marshall hill to count each and every one of you. Say hello between deep breaths and thanks for not driving!

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Fantastic stuff!

Blue Line northbound rail replacement bus moving very slowly through Terminal 1 / Glumack Dr. Glad I usually don't have to care about airport car traffic

This massive expose from @theonion.com is hitting @trylon.org next week!

you gotta admit that Saudi Just For Laughs is a very funny concept

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Uptown Minneapolis life: Metro Transit B-Line bus crosses Hennepin Ave, the Emerson Ave bridge over the Midtown Greenway, Lake Street heading up to Hennepin Ave, Walker Library at Hennepin Ave and Lagoon.

This is real and I need to have a lie down

They arrived. oh no. OH NO.

Putting aside the researchers' inability to identify acts of state terrorism, the number they're using to justify this subhed is five.

In California, different places and different types of buildings have limits on how much rent can be legally increased each year. Tech Equity has an online tool where you can calculate if your rent increase is legal. techequity.us/2024/12/02/i...

it cannot be overstated that, if you usually tune out of the midterms, next year is not the time to make that choice. they will be putting our democracy to the test.

This generic acetaminophen had an Amtrak ACS-64, four Amfleet 1 cars, a Conrail EMD GP15-1, and some Conrail rolling stock in it. The problem is more serious than I thought.

An unofficial update on Jason Garcia // @jasoncomix.bsky.social :: They are still in the hospital and we are helping them purchase a recliner they will need in recovery at home thanks to the generous community support. Thank you, thank you, thank you. More updates soon. All is on the up and up.

hope someone notices

This money should be going into high-speed rail (and normal-speed rail) rather than this bubble

Well, there is is.

It's amazingly awful how much of the bad BBB is slated to take effect more than a year from now, so even if Dems win midterm elections and start restoring government funding, it will feel like they're making cuts youtu.be/OKwkHof38bY

I was wondering what Hubbard might do, especially considering that they've been part of the pipeline for providing experience to some conservative hosts. Harris Faulkner on Fox News is one example

This is well worth watching: The episode of the Tonight Show with Jack Parr many, many years ago, from which the lead in Kimmel's monologue tonight came. latenighter.com/news/jimmy-k...

Kimmel was a great first step, now let's talk about Karen Attiah

Fossil fuel drilling, refining, and transportation already occupied huge amounts of land, as expertly documented by the photographer Edward Burtynsky. These land uses are much more destructive than solar panels!

Local TV station megaconglomerates don’t need to exist. Their entire income stream is 30 second ad slots for used car dealers and injury attorneys and local politicians. The only thing they make is a dying news product that hasn’t changed its format in decades. Break em all up.

for all the flapping about Uncommitted during the primary it has always been the Blue Dog centrist types who are most disloyal to the party

I know the penalties are flat & based off late filings, but when we are dealing with massive contribution PACs- these people don't view it as being fined, they get to treat it as a 3.7% transaction fee 4k is nothing to them! They accept mostly checks, this is functionally a ActBlue processing fee

Spooky attraction at a distance, as they say

Your favorite scientist from childhood now has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

today i am challenging democratic politicians, for the rest of the week, to pick one (1) horrifying thing republicans are doing and pretend its as bad as jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended id suggest tom homan taking bribes, but theres a few things to pick from if they want

Good morning North Side Park Board Commissioner Becka Thompson will resign next week so she can try to become South Side Council Member. “Thompson spends 4 days of the week at her home in north Minneapolis and 3 days at a residence in … south Minneapolis” umm hmm www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

I have questions.

Ready for the 2-week Blue Line closure starting tonight

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.
