Streets.mn is excited to announce that we are seeking writers, storytellers, photographers to research and write articles for a recently-awarded Minnesota Historical Society grant. Each of the 4 projects is paid $1000, to be split between the storyteller and photographer.

They too frequently view apartments / buses as "temporary" until you get further "up". Same with bikes! The suburban homeowners view this as "a thing for kids", immigrants view this as "something you had to do because you couldn't afford otherwise" /2

This is actually a problem. Of course you would expect suburban homeowners to view apartments and public transit as only things for poor people / homeless people / criminals (all synonyms). But in my personal experience, immigrants also have this view. They're sold on the American dream. /1

Actually, London is a beautiful, fantastic city that has been made better thanks to immigration and clean energy. Mayor Sadiq Khan has improved it substantially while, it turns out, not having any plans to impose Sharia Law.

my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant, which made me super focused on menswear and now i have a million followers on twitter

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

He’s a fucking moron in so many ways, isn’t he?

hate to say I told you so www.theverge.com/policy/69730...

Removal protections are gone. Humphrey's Executor is overruled in all but name by the Shadow Docket. Rest in peace to the Presidency, and long live the Monarchy.

Here it is, your moment of Zen

Biked all over town with the kids in cargo bikes today. Felt like a celebrity because kids on bikes are so stinkin cute and everyone we pass is just beaming at us.

This is what we need from elected officials -- a commitment to stand up for their constituents and, just as important, a willingness to tell right-wing trolls to get bent.

Pretty fucked that they had to split the right wing into flavors to get it all to fit in the chart

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

a must-read piece from Ta-Nahisi Coates, I signed up for a subscription to make sure I could read the whole thing (Vanity Fair's reporting is solid, I'm sure I'll get $12 worth of journalism) www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

"Mural of person defaced with his own words" is not a sentence you could ever write about most people. www.dallasnews.com/news/texas/2...

If I were trying to get Democrats to win elections, I probably wouldn’t focus on downplaying two of the party’s best issues (including among independents and younger voters). www.pbump.net/o/climate-ch...

A Good Man. The highest compliment i can give a man

Impeachment was literally *created* for this situation. I suspect not a single one of the Founding Fathers would have opposed immediate removal of a president on the grounds reported on here. No wonder America is talking about basically anything else but this and the still-unreleased Epstein Files.

"Traffic calming makes riding bikes and walking a lot safer...but if there's a fire IT MIGHT KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE TOO." (image from the draft Berkeley Bicycle Plan)

"This absurdity, in fact, is at the very heart of fascist violence. It is the final twist of the knife, the head-shaking feeling of disbelief right before you are tossed in the prison van. It’s not just that we are being destroyed, it’s that we are being destroyed for incredibly stupid reasons."

Some news: This winter Team Oonee is launching NYC's first Dutch-Style🚲 parking hub in Brooklyn's Sunset Park. The Hub will provide free parking for 100+ bikes/scooters, and will include safe charging, and appt based repairs + lite service. This will make history in several ways. More deets in 🧵👇🏾

We are at the point in the honoring-Charlie-Kirk's-memory cycle when faculty are being fired for posting, without comment, Charlie Kirk's words. At the behest of politicians sworn to uphold the first amendment, and in public institutions covered by first amendment protections.

". . . They [mainstream news outlets] have spent days maintaining a fictional version of Charlie Kirk, a fictional version of his critics, and a fictional version of his assassin, all while trying to hound his critics out of public life . . ." www.eschatonblog.com/2025/09/part...

Our #SuperSpeeders campaign rolls on. Pennsylvania the latest state with a bill to require speed limiting devices in the vehicles of some egregious offenders TY Rep. Sean Dougherty www.timesobserver.com/news/local-n...

Today marks the fifth anniversary of Utrecht finishing the restauration of the Catharijnesingel 🥳 The former highway now is a beloved living space for Utrecht residents and one of the most famous and inspiring examples in the world of how cities can change for the better by undoing past choices.

Seeing more and more people using the REV Saint-Antoine (a new east-west express bike corridor on the southern edge of downtown Montreal) as it becomes more connected and seamless. It currently covers about 4.5 kilometres (3 miles).

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Anybody need a band name? (spotted at Muni T line Chinatown Station)

Something the municipal governments implementing speed cameras know and the speed camera haters don't want you to know is that travel time from point A to point B on city streets has more to do with capacity & volumes at intersections than with your maximum speed in between them

I took BART to 24th Street then biked to Potrero Ave. just to get a sandwich today.

Sara Jacobs: "Filler is gender affirming care. Boob jobs is gender affirming care. Botox is gender affirming care. Lots of my colleagues have received gender affirming care and let me be clear, I think everyone should have access to the gender affirming care they need." Nancy Mace: *screams*

i will say, as a schoolteacher attempting to but deeply failing at teaching kids right from wrong: that ship has sailed. the kids truly and honestly cannot tell good things from bad things. just "things i want" and "things stopping me from having what i want"

You remember the dire predictions about congestion pricing inducing more traffic and higher emissions in the South Bronx. Well none of them have come to pass, according to data analyzed by Charlie Komanoff.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Great News: The 3rd Ave bike lane has been extended up to 125th St, including the GREEN WAVE. Time to test it

Collins: The WH has denied that the drawing existed. They denied that it was Trump's signature. What do you what do you make of their defense here? Crockett: The fact that the president is a liar? I mean, he's consistent.

In the last week of the 1936 campaign, FDR reminded a massive crowd in Madison Square Garden that "organized money" was "unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred!" And then the country rewarded him with a 523-8 landslide in the electoral college. This is, in fact, good politics.

Was on a true vacation last week, but the kid was so excited about the mini buses in Madrid, I had to share some photos.
