Minnesota Historical Society has a podcast called 'Minnesota Unraveled' (new to me). Episode 111, 'History on Two Wheels: Bicycles and Bike Paths in Minnesota' is a wonderfully interesting history of late 1890's to present bicycling in the twin cities, and then some. www.mnhs.org/unraveled/ep...

Westbound snowy bike ride through Reservoir Woods

"Please cease making these jocularities, or so help me GOD IN HEAVEN, I shall turn this ship back Eastward and return us home." - Mayflower Captain, probably. #Thanksgiving #secular #humanist

Roundabout scene from Natl Lampoon European Vacation

Seen in Reservoir Woods... "From now on, you must take care of your toys, because if you don't, we'll find out, Sid." - Toy Story, where the toys are watching and will exact revenge if he harms again.

My weekday AM bike commute to downtown St. Paul, MN, Jackson to 10th street bike path. This is the type of bike path obstruction I can live with. This is not the dog's first offense, but a solid number two. (owner cleaning up after their dog) #bikecommuter #bikesky

“Now show it in the rain,” is a comment that pops up in our feed occasionally, as if the country that cycles 18 billion kilometres while experiencing 217 days of precipitation each year grinds to a halt every single time the skies open. There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad infrastructure.

Careful commute planning not paying off very well.

50 years later, the legacy of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald looms as large as ever www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Time lapse bike ride thru Reservoir Woods, Roseville, MN. Not the last perfect day, but one of the few remaining

Happy to have the book #LifeAfterCars @thewaroncars.bsky.social, picked up at my favorite downtown St. Paul MN bookstore @subtextbookstore.bsky.social. Note the bordering small text, top right of the poster in the window: "Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail"

With the passing of Jane Goodall today, we lost one of the most consequential voices in environmental science and animal behavior. In 2002, she said, “We have found that…there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.” (Continued in comments)

Rip Jane Goodall What amazing work you did with your life. A heartbreaking day

My PM Bike commute from downtown St Paul to Roseville, MN. The last minute highlights the new bike lane squeezed on to Dale Street, part of the Dale Street reconstruction between Como Ave and County B. The background music is "The Poor People of Paris". #bikecommuter #bikesky #bike

"The bamboozle has captured us.”

I had the right-of-way, bike lit up like a landing strip, cross signal in my favor. This $#@^* in the red suv left turned across the bike path. Was more important than the law, or another's life. Northbound Jackson & 12th, St. Paul in the PM. Nothing kills a good mood faster than a stupid driver.

Quotes from this interrogation were shared on the radio and in the newspapers, one such was Bryan’s, “I do not think about things I don’t think about”, to which Darrow replied with the question, “Do you think about the things you do think about?”, after which Bryan answered with, “Well, sometimes”.

Q: What is made out of brass and sounds like Tom Jones? A: Trombones

I'm really close on all of the points being made here...

Briefly thought that Scarlett Johansson was playing a banjo and was suddenly 100% more interested in the franchise.

“...students just have free time instead of a substitute. My 14-year-old had two canceled classes this morning and simply stayed home until noon. This would be a logistical nightmare for schools and parents if we didn’t just expect our kids to sort it out.” www.cnn.com/2025/06/29/h...

The potato’s in for a root awakening.

If we continue to accumulate only power and not wisdom, we will surely destroy ourselves... If we become even slightly more violent, shortsighted, ignorant, and selfish than we are now, almost certainly we will have no future. - Carl Sagan

Copenhagen is expected to receive 30% more rainfall by the end of the century. The city is responding with a massive long-term adaptation plan. https://n.pr/4dYZOvs

This. This is honestly one of the greatest problems society has imo.

Best teaching twenty-two minutes ever. Dutch TV explains how it came to this, such that even Americans could understand. Probably.
