"The way I see it, gasoline will triple in price in three years. In eight years, gasoline will be rationed. That to me, it’s amazing that we have not heard the alarm bells.” - Frank Stronach 3 yrs ago. Prescient? #EV #ebikes thecharge.ca/feature-stor...

More performative masculinity. The GOP is obsessed with double-tripling-quadrupling down. Veey Incel fascist energy.

I look forward to their disappointment when we get them back to Minnesota for Nuremberg 2, to be held in the Target Center with tens of thousands of angry Minnesotans in attendance

If some teenager started a neighborhood zine this summer, I would subscribe if they promised to cover the hyperlocal NIMBY war, the Interstate 94 planning disaster, a deep dive into the 2026 St. Thomas Derby Days debacle along with neighborhood gossip. How about you, @seanrr.bsky.social?

Ask yourself: what get people in authoritarian states—in MENA—to the to protest/rebel, face tanks & bullets? Is it democracy? No. It’s corruption. Bad econ conditions are tolerated if the burden is shared. But if bad econ conditions are amplified by corruption, ppl are willing to die for that

Can Minneapolis do this? I’d love to see a pilot school street

The evil hearts of Minnesota Republicans were on full display yesterday. And okay, Minnesota progressives may be flaky. They may get off topic. But these people--who worship and memorialize a murderer--cannot be allowed in positions of power.

The newsprint @startribune.com wasn't delivered this morning. Which is funny because it's always delivered, especially during vacation holds. Sadly the news is now two days old because they print it in Iowa, having closed the downtown Mpls printing plant. Guess I'll read something else this morning.

Heads up Minneapolis, autonomous kid in training. Just rode 1.5 miles to donuts and back.

Here it is: the perfect, succinct analysis of the unholy relationship between highway proponents and developers.

A story about the money that builds highways: The political selling point of taxpayer-funded infrastructure is to improve lives. But even a lazy analysis of highway impact reveals the lie. When I-94 was completed through MSP in 1968, there were about 3,000 people living in Woodbury. Today,

These idiots are only able to propose policies that hurt people 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

happy birthday america, i got you the corpse of a 30 year old one hit wonder shuffling around in front of a fight pit next to a giant hole in the ground that used to be the east wing all at the pleasure of an octogenarian rapist with dementia

Sometimes I think about while bike bus is a great idea, what would be a greater idea is to have streets safe enough that kids could just bike to school by themselves without needing adults to organize and lead them.

There are no mosquitoes A rift in the ecosystem A hummingbird is hungry Our cars killed it Good morning Thank you for listening

Why is the headline about the 500 e-scooter injuries and not the 30000 caused by motor vehicles? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

the deontology of GOP policy is a crime against humanity

PTSBD (post-traumatic stolen bike disorder) is real. I find myself questioning whether to bike downtown to a meeting because my destination doesn't have protected bike parking. Once a thief angle grinds your lock in front of witnesses who fall for a cheap line you lose any sense of security.

look at that subtle off white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it… oh my god. it even has a watermark.

"Astrology for men" I feel so seen. We're letting our most embarrassing, ridiculous human impulses rule society.

We cannot in good faith invest billions of dollars rebuilding/expanding I94 thru Saint Paul and Minneapolis when we could use that taxpayer money to build housing near workplaces.

How centrist is Saint Paul? Kaohly Her, a bike-lane-fighting, I-94-loving challenger to former Mayor Carter, dominated the Summit Ave-Mac-Grove-Highland precincts in 2025. Hamline-Midway & W 7th, places where I suspect Mpls kids found homes recently, voted for Carter. @tfitzgerald.bsky.social

Saint Paul is full of centrist democrats. They're just not rich, lakes-adjacent democrats. The flood of progressive Mpls kids who have moved over here in the last 6 years is making us more progressive. I think our leadership should pay attention to that and stop catering to (only) the middle.

ANGIE CRAIG HAS DROPPED FROM SEEKING THE DFL ENDORSEMENT!! just 3 days before the party’s endorsing convention in rochester, craig announced she is no longer seeking endorsement for US senate, which she was expected to lose to peggy flanagan in the wake of the ICE occupation of minnesota

Kids don’t like being hauled around in cars any more than their parents-turned-chauffeurs do. For local trips, biking is almost always more fun. I wish I could be the Oprah of cargo bikes and just give them away to anyone who wants one. Fewer tantrums, more joy all around. 2/2

Somebody's already analyzed this but what is it about police, corporate, military and religious culture that leads to so much sexual misconduct? Is it the hierarchy? The patriarchy? The outfits?

IN ALL SEASONS THE GREAT LOON IS PRESENT, BRINGING RAIN IN SPRING AND HEAT IN SUMMER, BLESSING THE HARVEST AND BLANKETING THE EARTH IN DARKEST WINTER. WHERE CAN YOU GO BUT THAT THE LOON DOES NOT RESIDE? THE LOON GIVES IN ITS TIME AND THE LOON TAKES IN ITS TIME. BLESS THE LOON! FEAR THE LOON!

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

Just remember when we set up HOURCAR we did it intentionally as a nonprofit, so the community benefits were all but assured. There's no reason we have to build essential public services using profit-driven providers.

Congratulating to the top finishers in our Bus Roadeo! To take home these trophies, these operators bested dozens of their peers in a (mostly) friendly competition that tested how well they could make precise stops and turns while at the helm of a 40-foot bus.

I spent the weekend checking in with America and concluded that electeds have to be dictators about inclusive infrastructure. Just build bike lanes and reduce road space. People will love it, but not one moment before it's completed. Don't let their inability to envision the future ruin the future.

We can come up with billions for new highways anytime we want. But we can't replace the lead pipes that eat the brains of our children.

I was a French major for some weird reason, and I studied in France quite a bit. This is absolutely true. The French love fitness and they love cycling...I have no idea how they feel about cycling for transportation but it must be part of the culture now, at least in Hidalgo's Paris.

🔥 Hot take 🔥 Amazon is going to be using these Rivian spin-offs called “quads” in bike lanes and I think they shouldn’t. This is what personal vehicle vehicles should have always been like. Just cause the car company is finally making one the right size doesn’t mean it goes in the bike lane.

It's time for self-proclaimed MN liberals to prove their bona fides: raise your hand if you agree we must drastically reduce car dependence and to every extent and as quickly as possible replace it with clean transit, active transportation and dense, accessible communities. You in? Or you out?

Tom Emmer is the type of sycophant that can be found historically in all the wannabe totalitarian regimes that spawned across Europe in the 1930s. "The Leader can do no wrong" is tattooed on his forehead. bsky.app/profile/atru...

we're popping out miracle drugs that address like basically every human ailment other than the inevitability of death, we're turbodeploying unlimited free energy from god, and the computers can do our homework, so obviously we are [checking notes] in the worst of all possible timelines. what a world

You pedestrians with canes and dogs and baby buggies and adorable toddlers, all mad about bikes on your trails? You are so justified. There's not enough space. Just close your streets to cars and we will never bother you again. It's easy, it's affordable, and everyone would be so much happier.

I'm a freak who hates speed. I'm an old person who did not grow up learning driving skills from video games. I have never crashed a car, not a scratch. I loved the 55 mph speed limit intended to conserve fuel. I am your worst nightmare.

Speaking not of electric, pedal-assist bikes, let us speak instead of electric motos. I've seen two of them on the river trails this week, both piloted by adults. Why are these speedy motos afraid to drive among cars? How bad is our car ecosystem when even our our slowest streets are too scary?

Ultimately, this woman created the means and opportunity for the federal government to conduct a campaign of ethnic cleansing in my town and while that's not the crime she's been charged with, it should be the one she's remembered for.

Some of the most heinous fraudsters in Minnesota over the last few years have been white, influential, middle class citizens. So let's just check our tendencies blame immigrants right now.

Nothing says you never walk anywhere better than tinted vehicle windows. IYKYK

If you respond to tragedy with prayers, then how do you respond to unanswered prayers? What is the response when your God denies you?

Another race, another Uptown.

Bus? Bike?

Just experienced the bus only lane going south on Hennepin during rush hour on the 114. Crikey we made good time it was shocking.

I did not survive the downtown Minneapolis business ecosystem to wake up and read this. "We wanted to build something that nature has done a pretty good job of developing and make it better and scalable and even more efficient."
