Amazing how many cars you can collect behind you if you have the courage to drive 5 miles over the speed limit on W river parkway.

If you can stick EXCLUSIVELY to paths it’s possible to bike in this (but not great, crossing are a mess) but side streets are impassable, like biking through 8 inches of mashed potatoes. I don’t think wide studded tires would be enough #mspcyclecast.

It’s currently getting dark at 4:45 here

I guess Michigan wanted Sherrone Less.

Scream it from the rooftops people:

Snow clearing status: Driveway ✅ Back walk ✅ Sidewalk ✅ Front stairs ✅ Beers drunk: _ _ _ _ _ ✅

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

The only thing you should enter is “Abolish ICE”

#mspcyclecast it’s snowing pretty hard, some things are cleared but you really shouldn’t be out there and if it’s too bad for bikes it’s DEFINITELY too bad for cars.

Kids and I were trying to explain the precise meaning of the “😭” emoji, which isn’t crying but also isn’t the cry-laugh, but is closer to that than an indication of actual sadness.

Reminder that drivers going slow and roads getting clogged is a sign Minnesotans DO know how to drive in snow. Stopping distances are increased and road capacity decreases.

It’s snowing

Encountered THREE (3!) public works vehicles in the Blaisdell Ave bike lane this AM. All doing work - 2 plows and a salter - seems excessive but I guess I shouldn’t complain. Did you know public works owns a Jeep Wrangler?

Despite yesterday’s dusting, yesterday around 6 SW bike paths were generally clear. #mspcyclecast.

For a second I though he was giving an impassioned defense of notre dame football

Regret to report…cruising around on a fat bike in a snowstorm is a fkn blast

Thanks I’ll tell my friends with adopted children they are terrible parents.

I’ve seen this go around Bsky a few times, and it need to be said : On a site full of elder millennials Hard Mode needs to mean “No 80s movies”

This is designed to go AROUND a child’s ski helmet and here’s how it fits on me and anyways it’s super warm and I love it.

Iowa is the highest ranked 4 loss team in the playoff rankings.

Notre Dame opts out of a bowl game

This is precisely what Trump looks like

If I would have been in charge of deciding how much generic “Super Bowl 52” merchandise to order (as in, not team specific, just promoting this one even)t, I would have been off by orders of magnitude (low).

Shout out the guy wearing a Lightning McQueen shirt at an F1 race

Netflix sent me an email regarding the WB merger and while I’m aware nothing will happen for at least a year, here was my takeaway from the email:

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:

What the hell Hyderabad Grill!! You saw my name when I ordered! And it ain’t Patel! I thought 3/5 spicy would be OK! It’s not! Actually the 2/5 spicy thing isn’t going down smooth either!

Pouring one out for Frank Gehry. The Guggenheim Bilbao is truly transcendent. *whispers* The Wiesmann is kinda meh.

Had to do the walk of shame into my LBS with a failed bearing replacement but the tech did validate my confusion when they said “yeah you need two IDENTICAL cone wrenches to service this”. Ain’t nobody got multiple identical cone wrenches!!

Just successfully uploaded a ppt from my computer to sharepoint please clap

Haters will tell you you can’t make a Thanksgiving Omelet but guess what you can.

My first 4 Teams messages for co-worker: “hey can you comment on this presentation??” /3 hours pass - silence Next teams message: “Hey Chelsea sure sucked it up today!” /30 seconds later: Yeah I know!

I will once AGAIN not be posting my Spotify wrapped so as to not expose my supremely basic taste in music to potential criticism from music snobs.

Anyone e-biking around MPLS in this weather? I’m curious about bike performance - not worried about battery life but general handling, traction, etc?

They say there’s a housing crisis but Omar lives rent free in this guys head. Very much doubt he could name more than 20 R house members.

I am the sweatiest I have been at work all year today - and it’s 17F feels like 3 out.

6pm report: basically the same. Bryant Ave bike lane in good shape #mspcyclecast

Here you go: SW streets: snow covered Bryant: plowed but lots of snow and ice. Bryant N of Lake: unplowed, thick snow, basically impassable. Greenway: good condition Hennepin/Uptown: plowed and clear Loring Park: plowed but bad Hennepin Downtown: plowed but lots of snow and ice #mspcyclecast

I named my fists “Chat” and “GPT” because I really don’t know what the hell I’m doing with them

Best I can do with this Yankee flour we get up here. I’d give it a B.

Swuffles season. The sauce is Brasa green sauce.

Also a good time to remind you the reasons MPLS-SP can’t plow nearly as well as the suburbs is good old free on-street parking! The burbs efficiently ban it overnight during winter.

A friendly reminder to locals for this afternoon/evening: walking through snow to a local bar or restaurant, when most else is quiet, is among life’s greatest pleasures.

None of these words in are in the Bible

Wicked 2: there’s at least 45 minutes of material packed in to this 2.5 hour mess

Less important but “we are so back”? You’ve had all branches of government for a year now and been doing slurs the whole time!

Live - Lightning Crashes. Who says no??

Lanes around the southwest lakes are pretty clear (but filled with peds). Bryant and Hennepin bike lanes are clear. Will see after tomorrow. #mspcyclecast
