In 2024, I had the phenomenal privilege to visit the island of Ireland to observe their elections. There's a lot the US can learn from Ireland. We made a documentary — American Troubles: A Tale of Two Democracies — about what we saw. I hope you'll check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfbN...

Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait 'til their judgement day comes

To all the tired dads out there, I have a city design for you.

In 3 of these elections, the 3rd place candidate got around 5% of the vote, so over half the time it's been a 2-horse race from the start In the general, it's only been a margin of less than 5% once

In the second lowest turnout for a Mayoral primary, shout-out to the 199 people who just skipped this election to only vote on the OPWC bond issuance, and the 15 people who invalidated their ballot by selecting more than 1 candidate

@allaboardohio.org's Beth Russell reminds us all that when advocates, elected officials, and community & business leaders are all on the same page - there isn't much we can't do. Right now, the future of passenger rail in the Buckeye State is looking a little brighter because of it.

We need your help! CALL/EMAIL your reps asking for the Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Commission to be supported in the house operating budget! AllAboardOhio.org/Advocacy

Methodicle has partnered with @allaboardohio.org on this call-to-action rendering recently shown at the Ohio Passenger Rail day of advocacy on March 5th in Columbus.

Granted, few members of the general public will be mad about this, but what's the point of being a municipality if you have to outsource policing to the county sheriff? www.fox19.com/2024/11/13/a...

I've always been uncomfortable with people wishing me Happy Veteran's Day It's an annual reminder that the vast majority of society is totally isolated from military life and policy. Just absolutely unaware

In positive government news, city council unanimously passed an ordinance today that I had gotten started They'll set aside $500k out of the TIF district in the neighborhood to likely build some 30 speed humps throughout the community
