[Minnesotan voice]: Of course Geese is a psyop. They should be called the Gray Ducks.

The all encompassing nature of youth sport saps the social and financial resources of families limiting their free time and disposable income for fun for fun’s sake. In this es…..[a sniper’s bullet pierces my skull relieving me of existence]

My general theory of urban decline is that we have made home too fun. We need to make home more boring for the city to thrive.

This is more than 11x the amount that Minneapolis has spent on bike infrastructure in the past decade. Milan GDP: $250B Mpls GDP: $350B For comparison, the 494 expansion from Edina to Richfield will cost $377M. 494/35W interchange: $255 million. We can have nice things. We just choose not to.

It wasn’t until sometime after midnight during Pascha services when I realized this simple truth…..pews are ableist

'We're afraid of walkable distances now' is my new catchphrase.

There are plenty of cities with winters just as bad as ours that manage a decent mode share. We are a metro system away from being Stockholm.

"No one should expect busy parents to shuttle families around on bikes or Metro Transit in the dead of winter." As cities, we actually can expect people to make decisions that improve our collective and future well-being—and it's our job to make policies to incentivize that type of decision-making.

this could be us (social democratic welfare state with one major urban area with a full-fledged metro system)

McDonald's doesn't come in the house. That's automotive food, not residential.

Trump only confirms what I've been saying for years: getting fast food delivered to you via an app is degenerate behavior.

This is so good in how stupid it is. Just giving the game away that private motordom is about control and domination of the public right of way more than transport www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Threatening the pope, losing to Persia and presiding over economic decline- Welcome back Emperor Valerian!!

I knew the Ice King was sorta evil, but not evil evil

Maybe the Pope is the Joe Rogan that the Left has been looking for all along?

attacking the pope when you’re that close to meeting god is a choice

Since we’re all making fun of Rod Dreher, I think about this at least once a week

Limiting the river lots in Highland Bridge to short expensive SFH was a massive mistake. They shoulda added more high rises like 740 River Drive*. River views shouldn’t just be for people who can afford million dollar homes.

The one good Life Hack™️. How to mute those annoying ass gas pumps. Push one of the side buttons, usually second from the top on the right side.

It’s not that I have no sympathy for people living with this, or fighting to prevent it. I agree. But are they also aware that the urban interstates they drive on and fight to keep in place (and enlarge) are louder by the homes nearby?

Who up waiting to get their Pascha Basket blessed

Maybe they’d save more if they didn’t use up all their gas idling in this line

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

If you feel the compulsion to look at your phone, download the Libby app and download a fun or trashy book. Suddenly phone virtuous even??

The two happiest days of owning a boat are the first time you file taxes without having to pay taxes on interest and when the bank repossesses your boat because of non-payment on the loan.

Please vote yes on 297 if you can, especially since it's near the end of a long ballot -- one of mine for Amtrak, NLX, and other rail routes

My related crank idea is that most people should automatically get a monthly transit pass through institutional bulk purchases

eBay find of the the day: The C&O M-1 Turbine remains my #1 pick for Fallout universe road power. This incredible brass model looks spectacular.
