I don’t know how much time I’m going to have, but I need to do a tour of Frey Fences (and rubble) across the city. Where do I need to go?

Thread of the impact of Frey’s neglect all over the city:

Time to queue up the "Personal Rule" episode of the Revolutions Podcast?

This is true for lots of things! We are in the process of burning our future to the ground in exchange for nothing

Today marks the 7th anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

When I lived in central Spain for a year I wondered why all the apartments had super heavy doors and complex locking hardware (key bolt, interior bolt, bars that extended into the floor and ceiling in addition to the side.) Oooooh that’s why….

Anyway, I gotta go do some work. Have a good afternoon. Free trade, open borders, Korean fries on every corner.

When asked about Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty's recent decision not to prosecute felonies arising from certain low level traffic stops, Chief O'Hara says statistically it's a non-issue and it's already MPD policy. youtu.be/Qda39Ptype4?...

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

I'm not going to spread Stephen Miller into anyone's feed, but If you have to yell about how hardcore, tough, and ruthless you are - you aren't.

"Vote for Jamison Whiting and then cross my fingers and hope for the best" is what I plan to do.

I used to live right about where this picture was taken (if I'm gauging right, literally about 20ft back and to the right) We called in someone trying to steel a big spool of wire once. Graybar sent us a thank you gift basket.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

I wish I could take more comfort in making fun of this obvious farce today. But Trump and Hegseth are causing real suffering! How did we get to a place where the people causing this reaction are in charge of the country?

#48, 49, and 50. I'm not done in Minneapolis. I'm taking out portions of 35W, 94, and 169.

Weird.

I think it’s very interesting how emphatically these conversations are about inevitability—it’s time, it’s happening, like it or not, and in particular, a sense of: “You have to.” When it comes to treating an AI product as a person, I assure you that I do not have to. And you do not have to.

Does anyone else remember machines in - I assume grocery stores? but I don't remember that part - where it was a robot with pens and it would draw custom greeting cards for you?

‘Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow, Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow. None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master: His songs are stronger songs and his feet are faster.’ Tom opens the barrow, sings away its spell, and awakens Frodo’s companions.

I'm delighted to share that CM Emily Koski has endorsed my campaign! It's so meaningful to be endorsed by Emily, who shares my deep love for our city. "In a time when our city needs bold vision and steady hands, DeWayne brings both." - CM Koski Thank you, @emilykoskimpls.bsky.social!

Remember how lefties used to say "abolish ICE" back in the 2010s, and got roundly scolded by the centrists for it ever since, and now events have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were 1000% on the correct side of history, but somehow they're still being scolded? Fun.

Minneapolis has never looked more glamorous than when biking the wrong way up this I-94 exit ramp. Close the ramp, make it a park.

I'm still not convinced there aren't other motives than the speech thing, but if that's it: Am I too optimistic/naive to hang all my hopes against a full authoritarian coup on all the officer corps hating him?

Sam and Frodo threaten the willow with fire, but Merry and Pippin scream; it has started to crush them. Then—a song? Downstream, behind them, they hear: ‘Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!’

Happy Ötzi Day to all who celebrate. #SYSK

fateh says none of the challengers to frey onstage WANT encampments to exist but bulldozing them does not help

It's Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. Today, if you find yourself arguing inside your head w/someone who's not present, or whom it's not safe or not fair for you to argue with, gently move your mind away. Do this as many times as you need.

lol, yeah, all of high school

Based on what I’m seeing from folks today, I think Metro Transit got raptured.

Don’t know if my people will win, but we have more fun

i like this photo of Macron among the gargoyles

We knew this moment was coming. Ward 12 candidate Becka Thompson claiming residence in a neighborhood outside her current park district means she's either lying or must resign her park board seat.

This is hubristic to say, but this should be clear if you understand how LLMs work

This is how our city Minneapolis wins a new mayor! Lawn signs from left to right: Rank All 3 For Change, Omar Fateh, Jazz Hampton, DeWayne Davis. Rank them in the order of YOUR choice - and remember we need to fill up all 3 slots with their names to win a new mayor. (Tap picture to see all 4)

We went to Peru in June

Frey fencing already erected just hours after a mass shooting here at the Lake/Greenway connector path for the I-35W/Lake St transit station. We have lost yet another critical active transport link to the inattention and inaction of the @jacob-frey.bsky.social adminstration.

As with a lot of things these days - does the President really have the unilateral authority to change the fee charged for visas?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

People drinking less is objectively good and anecdotally I’ve seen more demand for open-late cafes and non-alcohol related hangout spots. Hope bars and venues can creatively find a way forward

The stupidest thing wealthy people do is spend all of their money making sure they only ever see other wealthy people. Fucking rots their brains.

If any AI people are listening, I have a good benchmark that I check regularly, and which nobody seems to be using. Good because it's VERY easy for humans, because AI is almost certainly not trained to do it, and because it usually fails for anything the least bit complex. Comic border detection.

Gosh what a surprise
