Much better, a pure performance as opposed to an attention-seeking stunt.

As diplomatically as I may say to someone who said that “no one goes to downtown Milwaukee” —your assertion is wholly incorrect. That is projecting an outdated view. I am at the Third Street Market, and the joint is jumping!

Notes from #Chicago: positive economic impact after adding protected bike lanes on Milwaukee Ave. Also: Bluesky users watching for City of Milwaukee posts reporting 15% higher incongruity with expected subject matter.

Yesterday was National Train Day, so here's a map of the Midwest overlaid with France's high-speed rail network. Haters say the US is too big for HSR, but there are many regions perfectly suited for it. A network centered on Chicago could connect Milwaukee, STL, Detroit, Indy... even Nashville!

Another trip down memory lane: we opened the Humboldt Park Beer Garden in Milwaukee in 2015. During the negotiations, I insisted we keep a portion of revenue for the park. That was made part of the deal. After its first year, we netted $11,000 exclusively to be used for park improvements.

If I'm reading this correctly, this will be on S. 1st Street, in the Walker's Point neighborhood on Milwaukee's south side, and happens to be directly across the street from the Cermak supermarket. The crops grown there will go straight to community panties, rather than the store.

My favorite brick. The first time I saw a wall made from it, it had this special resonance from the sunlight pouring over it. 💛

Important update about this massive bank parking lots in St. Francis, Wisc. There are two (2) full parking lots, has room for about 100 cars. One (1) car is here today, and it rarely has more than five at a time. The upper “private” parking lot is now closed off. Why keep it? #thiscouldbehousing

Watching the Crystal Palace-Shaktar Donetsk game, this time from start to finish, and just saw this brilliant #CPFC-#Ukraine flag. A beautiful sight during a thrilling game. #COYP and #SlavaUkraine! ❤️💙 🦅 💙💛

Transportation: New Coalition Seeks to Boost Milwaukee Transit Funding

Unhappy fortieth anniversary to the event that created the world’s most awful elephant’s foot in the wreckage of Reactor #4 in Pripyat, Ukraine. #chornobyl #chernobyl

I like how hours after the Eagles lost to Liverpool, my top stories on here were about Eze's goal against Newcastle. Miss him in the Palace kit. #LIVCRY #CPFC 🦅 ❤️💙

Happy 414 Day! As much of Milwaukee is warily watching the weather, check out this article about Cream City brick. This creamy-colored brick was made from the clay neath the city, and a clean, sunlight-drenched cream brick surface is one of my favorite things to look at. 💛💛💛

Milwaukee's neighborhood posters are featured in homes, businesses, and streets throughout the city. We explore how they were created with historian John Gurda. www.wuwm.com/story-behind...

You heard it here… second or third.

Oh, no, no no no... I have crossed the Brimley/Cocoon Line. I am now older than Wilford Brimley was when the movie "Cocoon" (which he starred in) came out in 1985. 😂 👴 😂 #genx #maturity?

Insanely good election results for the Wisconsin Supreme Court tonight! Chris Taylor has won by +20 in districts that Trump carried by big margins. Wild.

#Artemis II astronaut Reid Wiseman’s wife Carroll was taken by cancer a few years ago. Just now, as the crew broke the record for furthest human journey from Earth, he asked for a lunar feature to be named after her. The crew gave him a zero-g group hug and honestly I’m getting a bit emotional here.

To anyone who says Milwaukee is the worst city, I challenge you to spend a morning in June or July at the South Shore Farmers Market, and the afternoon at the South Shore Terrace, our publicly-owned beer garden on the shore of Lake Michigan. Yes, our city’s flaws are plenty, but it’s also a gem.

XKCD now lets you view it in dark mode, as well as darker mode, bright mode, brighter mode, hacker mode, ink mode, space opera mode, and many more!

The view from my window at a Chicago hotel, during a thunderstorm—before and during a flash of lightning.

I'm not crying, y— Okay, yeah, I am. This is a beautiful tribute to this person whom we never should've heard of.

The political calculations that result in cutting NASA funding the day after the Artemis II launch must be fascinating

The Islamic Society of Milwaukee, where Mr. Sarsour served as president, is an elected institution on Milwaukee’s southwest side. He should be released immediately.

Ending the war between the US and Iran will be hard, experts say, due to the difficulty of negotiating with a weak, erratic head of state.

City of Milwaukee has an excellent early voting sticker

Go Eloisa! A former constituent of mine. 🙂

A favorite song at today’s *massive* Milwaukee #nokings rally and march.

Today is the day! Find one near you or join the big one in Milwaukee in Washington Park if you can.

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

Today was the day I saw my former sort-of colleague from the Apple Macintosh world, Jason Snell, on "Jeopardy!" I thought, "he looks familiar... journalist and podcaster... wait a second..." Yeah, it's him!

Mwahhahahaha... yessss, yesss!! It's a state legislative seat, but those are vital to pushing back against the oppression!

Go Ads—and go, ASL!

This will work much better than you may expect.

West Milwaukee police are asking for help identifying a driver who struck a bicyclist and fled the intersection of Miller Park Way and W Mitchell Street on Friday.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Well then!

This administration‘s unparalleled brilliance is on display once again. This, in combination with killing off funding for and support for making electric vehicles, which could’ve freed many from gasoline, are among their countless, shining legacies. 🤦🏻

Too late. Apologies not accepted. Republicans Concede They Need to Pivot on Immigration Before Midterms In public comments and private meetings at a House G.O.P. retreat, top officials allowed that President Trump’s immigration crackdown had hurt the party www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...
