Remember this smoke the next time someone says a bikelane is unnecessary or a a transit project is too expensive (looking at you blue line extension naysayers)!

The city cleared the Vento encampment a year & a half ago, in the middle of winter, forcing folks to relocate at Pigs Eye. Clearing camps obviously doesn't work. It's not only idiotic but extremely cruel to keep treating people like this.

Who up tapped out paying for Daze with their Elvish Spirit Guide in hand?

I am once again demanding someone take me out on their pontoon

There doesn't seem to be an easy fix, but it's refreshing to see I'm not the only one frustrated with Windows 11 messing with Ctrl + P, Enter as the default way to print. What does the new UI fix? Was there a whole legion of users that wanted to switch their printer from default? Why have a default?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Scott Foster tries his hardest to rig Wolves games.

My alterations to My The Saint Paul Coat so far: added a "There's No Place Like Dome" patch from '87 and seamed the side pockets ti be bigger. There was lots of room in the liner seam allowance for anyone else frustrated at how small the pockets are.

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Love getting charged repeatedly for an MLS Season Pass subscription on Feb 6th and thereafter, even though the pass supposedly no longer exists, and after I had received an email saying my previous subscription was ending automatically and "No Action is Needed"

They have this upside down mentality that in any ICE-CBP/community interaction, the responsibility for keeping things peaceful is on the untrained and unarmed public, while trained and armed agents of the state are permitted to freak out. They keep trying to convince people of that.

They are executing unarmed people in the streets for trying to protect their neighbors with the full support of the federal government.

(After 20 years of ridiculing snowflakes for needing "safe spaces" and "trigger warnings") A brave ICE officer was VIOLENTLY VERBALLY ASSAULTED today by MILITANT RADICALS calling him Mister Doo Doo Ass

Small bit of local good news: State Fair board included funding to enlarge the south bike lot in a recent vote.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

everyone who drives a car regardless of their material wealth needs it, but if you *choose* not to own a car (because owning one is expensive af) and instead ride a bike you don’t *really* need it, so you just have to deal with the shitty consequences of your choice

I think the longest name of a street in Saint Paul is "Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard"

Reminds me a lot of the bike lanes on Hennepin downtown. Why do we need to zig and zag, cars are the ones that suck!

In case you missed that this is an update: The woman has died. #SOS wants more of this. I hope @mayorher.bsky.social understands that this is why the Summit Regional plan is a critical need. Not one death is acceptable. We know how to prevent these deaths and have the ability to do so. A choice.

Suffragist and educator Frances Willard riding her bicycle, Gladys (because it made her glad). “I learned to bicycle when 50... and I think it is one of the best things I ever did. What pleases me is to see other worn-out women take it up, and find a new lease of health and life thereby."

the only windows app worth a damn continues to be Character Map. if they add copilot to Character Map I’m gonna riot

Can't believe this bus wasn't running Sundays or after Wolves games a season ago.

I dream that one day drivers will have the same patience for me crossing the street that they do waiting for a parking spot 10 feet closer to the mall entrance.

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

Another example: obvious outcome of allowing parking in bus lanes

the war on cars is the most important war of our lives

I'm not sure people are aware of just how often someone will yell at me on my bike for seemingly the mere sake of existing. I take so much psychic damage from it and it's directly why bits like the St Paul Saints' "bikes shouldn't be on the road" hot takes get my blood boiling

Having one of those days that I realize I've been putting a lot of random shit in my pockets lately

Making a band singular: 3 -1 -1

The worst UI change for Windows 11 is that opening its namesake Window (file explorer) often crashes the operating system. The second worst is that Ctrl+p then Enter doesn't print anymore and instead asks you to change the printer from the default

dinner du nord is downtown as playground: the elites dine on steak on nicollet mall while cops collect OT looking at their phones and an 81 year old woman asks me why buses are gone and she had to walk home to loring

Sometimes in the world of transportation you'll hear arguments against bike lanes because they don't align with the "user-pay, user-benefit" theory but there are many times where everyone can benefit Transportation is not a zero-sum game Separated bike lanes do benefit bikes, but not only bikes

Saw the improved bike path on Minnesota in downtown Saint Paul yesterday, it's so nice! Im glad they are adding infrastructure to make downtown safer and more pleasant for me to visit and for my retired mom to get her steps in from her condo.

Segue to more careful spelling choices this morning

At the Saints game and they are advertising anti-Summit-bike-lane, pro-car messages on the jumbotron. Very disappointed, and t was all brought to you by Busch Light, because nothing goes together better than crushing beers and driving

Street work down the street and the house is shaking with the cadence of a cat cleaning itself

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

Still close to the 3, so I support this site over the farmer's market. Transit options still much diminished over the Target Center

Best I can tell the county found a way to eliminate the bike path, while preserving their ability to say they haven't eliminated the bike path. Bizarre outcome.

People lose their minds about this but it would save literally thousands of lives.

I asked Brian Setzer for change for a dollar so I could feed a meter and he just gave me 50 cents

“Driving the speed limit is actually more dangerous than driving 10-20 mph over it actually.” Listen to yourselves.
