Just found an old timesheet from 2014. Hard to believe I used to believe I used to pull these kinds of hours, and for so little.

What we should be doing is rewilding vast portions of land that is currently being used for corn ethanol production. Too much land for human uses - not enough left to it's own devices.

You guys I just discovered cursed Marriot. I need a timeline cleanse.

If you're doing it right, this is what D&D character arcs look like. Or vice versa.

This is a work of art

The parking meters create so much money, we could pay almost literally anything and it would still be a good idea. Chicago government needs to start thinking in centuries, not election cycles.

Instead of a fake builder like Trump, we should elect a jobsite superintendent. Those sucker's get shit done.

In a moment of what seems like targeted, infernal retribution, my wealthy neighbor has decided to start parking like this, with this, in my condo building. When approached, he was intransigent and confused as to why I was upset.

Looking for feedback on this survey! Take a look - do you see a question posed poorly? Some data not captured? Let me know before it goes live! #bikechi 40th and 47th Ward - Family Mobility Survey forms.gle/RRQwLos1rHun...

I'm on speaking terms with a few people who have had more than four children, and the way that the women talk about how it destroyed their bodies and their health is devastating. It is not healthy to have that many kids.

B is goated as hell. If you pick F I don't know what the hell you're doing.

We need a universal, significant study of traffic safety issues at the perimeter of all of Chicago's parks and schools. I'd posit that most school / park perimeters can see on-street parking removed, drive aisles reduced, and designed to enforce < 10mph speeds. blockclubchicago.org/2026/06/22/d...

I had a lot of fun leading HOLS first Architecture & History Walking Tour this Saturday. Thank you to all who came out!

Inspired by Josh - can you all also please check out our website and let me know what you don't like? heartoflincolnsquare.org All constructive feedback is welcome.

#bikechi help em out?

WOW - the first tour sold out! We've added July www.eventbrite.com/e/1992145408... and August www.eventbrite.com/e/1992145476... tour dates! If you're interested in joining us, its a mix of architecture, transportation, and urban planning history and design.

Why on earth is the CTA studying another extension of our already extended system, when opportunities for cross-connections are so much richer and would create so much more mobility for residents across the city?

These car lanes are so empty! Terrible use of city funds.

The way that my life would be fundamentally improved on so many levels by any sort of dedicated transit improvement along Western Ave - it's so difficult to measure. So many friends closer, so many opportunities within reach.

My two routes this weekend. Destinations: Waterfront Cafe and the Music Box. Both mostly easy rides with several difficult transitions needing attention. A massive improvement over the last five years. It's worth taking a moment to appreciate the hard work that's been done.

The side by side here is going to be incredible

I need some sounding board feedback from #bikchi. What do you think about the idea of a bike/ped only bridge across the river at Sunnyside? Good idea or bad idea? Good use of resources, or bad use of resources?

I love 2/3 flats as much as the next person, but long term sustainability of building maintenance is a lot easier with more units. Our building boiler went out last summer and it cost 45,000. 12 units sharing that cost amounts to $3,750 each - was fairly doable. Much more difficult for 2-3 owners.

Um... yes.

Subtlety is in vogue

No, the worst thing a Minnesotan can be is rude. And being a racist is pretty fucking rude.

In your thirties you might get an inclination to make a neighborhood your entire personality. Its very important you listen to that voice.

Money talks.

Can someone with experience please explain to me how it feels to ride one of these? Cuz it looks insane.

My one weird sports hill that I will die on is that teams named for cities should have 90% of their players to have graduated from the city public school system. I know it's unpractical but it feels like it should be a thing.

My essay this week is about architecture and data science, what we can learn and how we can move forward. medium.com/@lorenordean...

Overlapping construction/decommissioning timelines have created Mecha-traffic-signal

Okay but these are literally so funny

So fucking rich of him to lecture people about this. New headline: "Villan lectures victim for their anti-villan speech while feeding them through woodchipper"

If I do anything of consequence in my life, it will have been to make sure this and Giddings Plaza are viewed as success stories worth repeating.

Riding bikes or public transit means you have the chances of running into your friends or coworkers without having to get insurance involved.

It's just so pretty...

TBH I think the city would get a lot more credit from the bike community and a lot less flak from the non-bike comm if they just did one big, transformative project every other year rather than all these small ones.

The unspoken truth of sobriety checkpoints is that they don't happen in cities due to the traffic problems they would create / the uninventiveness of the police force and their disinterest in anything that would meaningfully address this problem.

Does anyone know who organizes the Lincoln Square Bike Bus? We'd like to help them out! www.nbcchicago.com/video/top-vi...
