and so it begins

These photos are 100 years apart. Bikes are so awesome.

A reminder that bikes don't exclusively equal recreation, despite that long held North American belief. I'm running an essential local errand without the cost and stress of car culture.

Why fun, accessibility, and collaboration are essential to developer learning ➡️ @github.com podcast episode with @cassidoo.co, @jason.energy, @abbycabs.dev, and Andrea youtu.be/YnqJOJ9FzvE?...

Had to stop to take in the glory of the full moon on our bike errand to the grocery store.

TURN UP THE VOLUME

Wonder how many of these voters are federal workers not getting a pay check right now, esp given the proximity to DC.

Happy election day! Local elections matter, especially if you want to see more infrastructure work for everyone. We hope you take time to vote your values! Civic duty is a reward itself, but it's also a great excuse for tacos too! Vote for bikes, bike to tacos! 🌮🚲 #bikemn #votebikes #votetacos

Y’all know how much I love my @bunchbike.com and biking people around, so naturally I really love seeing this!!!! 😍

If you haven’t already, go vote today! This applies everywhere, but especially to my neighbors in Minneapolis. For mayor, I’m ranking @omarfatehmn.com @dewayneforminneapolis.com & @jazzformayor.bsky.social. Ward 8 is @sorenwithward8.bsky.social of course. 1/2

I have never ranked frey, adding today to that list.

It’s was an honor to vote to re-elect @elliottpayne.org today. Super grateful for his leadership in Minneapolis and representing Ward 1. Get out there, Minneapolis, and VOTE! Today we have a big election: city council, parks board, and mayor! Make your voice heard 🗳️

One cool thing about biking is you can stop and take a photo of the beauty around you. I especially love the greenway trail.

I’m voting tomorrow 🗳️

This is dope. I want to highly light this part. This is what government is for. Wealth redistribution. Take money from companies who are hoarding it. Use that money to help ease the burden on everyone else. The details matter, but it's not more complicated than that.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

First of all, his smile is pure infectious joy. It makes me happy every time I see Zohran. But wow, this is super inclusive to go to where the people are round the clock, don’t forget the night shift!

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth

Love when we organize and work together like this 🥹 kindness and solidarity (and coffee)

Bike ‘em to school, haul bike back. Cargo bikes make me happy.

Part of media literacy is paying attention to the emotional message. If someone is trying to make you rage and feel despair, ask why. Pick the joy, it offers peace, health, and liberty for more people. It centers you, not you raging on behalf of someone else’s agenda. 🌈☀️

That’s a wrap, another amazing year at Nordic APIs. #platformsummit2025

Stunning. Many lessons here on age verification and data storage. (don’t store the data! especially when you tell customers that you don’t store these sensitive documents.)

Protected Bike Lanes benefits people of all ages.

Vintage sci-fi that keeps showing us who we are. Recently read this series and I’ll always recommend Octavia E Butler’s novels. 📚 [content warning: violence]

Made a cute flower arrangement in a gourd and bought these fun hand made cat toys this morning.

The sad thing about the owners' contempt towards the userbase is that Bluesky is genuinely a far better Twitter alternative, from a user experience the lack of an algorithm that only seemed to push conflict and suppress people I was following is a staggering difference. You got a good thing here!

this is not mastodon, crashing out doesn't just make your users leave and go to another mastodon instance, it threatens the viability of the entire project, this early.

“In a peaceful age I might have written ornate or merely descriptive books, and might have remained almost unaware of my political loyalties. As it is I have been forced into becoming a sort of pamphleteer.” GEORGE ORWELL, "Why I Write"

I’m very much **not** a fan of generating videos with AI. At all. Are there use cases for gen AI videos that have a positive impact?

Hey Minneapolis builders and community folks, this event is for you! Love this for Minneapolis. 💜

Cool example of AI assisted tools that help detect issues and bugs lurking around.

bots occupy nontrivial portions of the relatively* small and fixed capacity any of us have to relate at all * relative to the size of the available pool of interaction partners on a planet with billions Online

Twin Cities Friends: Looking for a good deal on a used e cargo bike? I know the person selling this one and highly recommend!

Why are people saying "this is not normal" over and over again, instead of "this is illegal" or "this is unconstitutional" or "this is treason?" Not normal sounds subjective, wishy-washy and neurotic. It communicates nothing of substance.

Portland, OR 💛

Forever, one of my favorite cities. Love this photo. (same photo, added alt text)

New books on my to-read list. 📚

Night ride along the river, so peaceful.

Such an incredible book (and author). One day I want to reread his other book Cloud Cuckoo Land.

When this stretch is finished it’s gonna be glorious. 🤩 Although, who made the decision for the path design as it approaches Central Ave? Sure, have an amazing off street path but then try not to die crossing Central Ave. 😏

A friend gave this book to me, so I had no idea what it was about when I started reading it, and wow did I learn a lot from this historical fiction. Interesting perspective on spreading fascism in the 1930s-40s from this lens in a position of power, insight, and early escape. #booksky

now even more than ever, North American tech conferences need to start making plans to be split across multiple sites, one in the US for people that can't leave, and one outside the US for people who can't enter. Simulcast between the two locations.

This is an incredible article (with stunning photos 🤩 and facts 🤓) of scientific climate studies — an example of looking across human history to reflect and think deeply about what we want for the future.

It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

Like this shopping street in Mexico City. If only they allowed cars on this street maybe people would come and shop here.

Minneapolis friends!!! Rent a @bunchbike.com and let’s do a group ride. 😎

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.
